Doctor advised me to get my right knee mri done as it was hurting a lot. He told me earlier that I have the beginning of arthritis. Also, I've fallen on this knee 4-5 times in the last 2 years, and fractured my ankle 3 months back which led to plaster. If you can please give me some clarity about the findings. Written report is taking time.
Hello Doctor, I am a 24-year-old male. I have been experiencing persistent tingling/pricking sensation (jhanjhanahat) in the sole of my foot for the past few days. It is mainly present from the forefoot/toes area towards the middle of the sole. I do not have significant pain or weakness, but the tingling sensation is persistent. It started after I suddenly increased my walking to around 10,000 steps per day. I have tried rest and warm/cold water therapy, but there has been no significant improvement so far. Could you please advise what could be causing this and whether I need any examination or blood tests such as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, blood sugar, etc.? Also, please let me know if I should continue walking/exercising or take rest for now
I have been dealing with severe plantar fasciitis issue, have tried almost everything, Hot-Cold bath for foot, painkillers, rolling foot over cold bottle, vitamin D, Collagen supplements, even took, nervite(for nerve pain). I have consulted to 2-3 doctors but still the issue remains also with plantar fasciitis pain, now i feel pain on the back of my heel, a bit of burning sensation as well. The pain reduces with rest but comes back after slight activity. Is there any permanent relief solution to this or not? Does prp works in this case?
Last year my mother started to have knee pain in her left knee. Took her to an ortho doctor, x ray showed knee osteoarthritis and he prescribed medicines but didn't help much. He suggested surgery but mother wanted to try physiotherapy. She's only had a few sessions but physiotherapy has helped. My query is few months before her knee pain started she was hospitalised for kidney stones. After the stones were removed, doctor changed her diabetic medicines. Instead of taking Cerapin xr 500 during breakfast and dinner he prescribed Trajenta 5 during breakfast and Gluconorm SR 850 during dinner. I read Trajenta 5 side effect can cause joint pain. Can any doctor verify this? My mother doesn't have any visible swelling or redness in the knees.
