Hello everyone,
I have had knee pain for months and it started all of a sudden or a psychological i am unsure but pain gets sharp when bending squating or when having fever or i think if i have food which causes this unsure. I can feel the slight swelling.
I have done multiple visits to a dr. Around 6-10 appointments to the same dr. I visit whenever i get a call or i call back saying I am having pain. But now i am ignored by the clinic as well. Now i am unsure what to do. As i haven't got any resolution.
If anyone is from goregaon East or malad east. Do let me know.
My father's age is 51
He has been diagnosed with slip disc (between L4 and L5)
I have attached the MRI reports
He is having unbearable pain that starts from lower back n goes till left leg
He is not able to sit even for 10 sec tingling and pain starts
We have shown one spine surgeon
He told us to take meds for 3 week n if condition doens't improve then proceeds to surgery
He has given
Ultracet
Pan - D
Gaba neuron (NT 400/10)
Even taking for 10+ days there is no major improvement
We have shown to 2nd doctor for second opinion as it is feeling so much risky for operation
And 2nd doctor said don't take so much meds
And he told to take meds for 6days and stop the previous med
He prescribed
DFZ 6mg
If no improvement then have to do surgery
So now i m confused wht should I do and whom should I consult
Is surgery is the only solution left for my dad?
He is having high blood pressure, diabetes and taking meds of that too
Whom should I consult i want assurance and more discussion
Have been experiencing a problem since last night; when I woke up, it felt as though there was no strength in my legs. I am also feeling a sensation like needles pricking me, and my legs feel numb. I am experiencing similar sensations in both arms and my head as well. What could be the reason for this? I am also feeling very sleepy.
My vitamin D deficiency has been corrected after 3 months of Uprise D3, but I still have calf pain and tingling sometimes although it's less than before.
Which routine tests should I get now? Should I check serum magnesium, vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, thyroid (TSH), or any other tests?
For more than 1 year I have been suffering from back and left leg pain and numbness in my leg, I went to a spine surgeon and took an MRI and came to know that I have mild to moderate disc bulge along with nerve compression and prescribed a pain killer, muscle relaxant and supplements for a month. Earlier the pain was more like intense tiredness like pain now the pain which I am having for the last 2 days is like shooting pain going from my buttock to my calf , I don't know if my symptoms are improving or not, I am still getting pain and numbness and I am worried that why the pain and numbness is not going. 15 days are left in my medicine to finish the course. Please help, thank you
