I
have been experiencing a persistent cracking sound in my knees whenever I bend them deeply or sit with my legs crossed, and this issue has gradually become more noticeable over time. Recently I also noticed similar sounds beginning in my shoulder, which has made me more concerned about what might be causing these sensations. Although the cracking is not always accompanied by pain, there are moments when my knees feel uncomfortable and even slightly painful after repeated movement or extended periods of sitting or standing, which affects my daily routine and makes me more cautious about my movements overall.
I have attached my humerous bone implant x ray .
Done operation in 2024 in month of March .
No details provided about the implant about the manufacture type and material .
Doctor said today that it is stainless steel.
I want to know whether I am eligible for MRI ?
Because I don't think there is need to remove the implant as it is not causing any issues in me .
But for future mishaps may be I want to reassure whether I can do MRI with this implant .
Please let me know what to do ahead
I have a fracture on the Fibula head due to fall from bike 2 weeks ago. The doctor didn't apply any cast/plaster but advised to use hinged braces. Only cycling, sitting crossed legs, stairs up down is restricted by the doctor. But I'm walking minimally(Partial weight on the fractured leg) and time of the time sitting keeping my leg straight. Pain and swelling reduced. But stiffness around the knee and pain during flexion of the knee. Should it heal without cast/plaster and how many days would it take to walk normally?
A heavy pan fell on my right foot about 10 months ago, not sure if this is the reason but whenever I play sports etc, a shooting pain starts from my thumb till my mid foot area and a bulge appears there. RICE method helps a little but is this a permanent solution everytime since it's recurring? Do I need to consult a doctor? If yes, which specialist? Bone or nerves?
I am a 35 year old woman from Bangalore (5 Feet 6 Inch Height, 74 Kg Weight). I was having knee pain for maybe close to 18 months. The pain was not constant, kind of intermittent. I actually wear heels 4-5 days a week, heels with 3-4 inch heel. I got MRI done of both knees post doctor's advise. Key findings: Right Knee-“Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus. Left Knee-Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial and lateral menisci. Reviewing the MRI reports, my doctor advised me to start physiotherapy focused on Quadriceps & VMO strengthening exercises. I have begun the exercises, and it has been about 2 weeks so far. The pain is there, sometimes more. Wanted opinion on: 1. How long does it typically take for this condition to improve and for the pain to go away? 2. Is it fully curable? 3. Will I be able to wear high heels (3–4 inches) occasionally in future, perhaps 3–4 days a week for about 2–3 hours a day? Please guide the best. Thank you
