So i had gout 6 months ago i followed all the medication told by my doctor, I had swelling around my big toe area which is then Reduced to 95% and my big toe got painless, movement became normal also I had normal uric acid level after the lab test
But since those 6 months I still have that remaining 5% painless non red swelling in my big toe what to do now
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.
Not able climb steps, sit in sukhasan & walk due to pain. Even left leg nerve paining, pulling during night time
I am a 16 year old male.
I had a displaced both-bone forearm fracture that was reduced and placed in a plaster cast about a week ago.
My follow-up X-ray was checked by the doctor, who said the alignment is fine, with only a little bending.
For the last ~2 days after the follow up session, I have had significant tightness and stiffness feeling around my wrist, especially on one side, which feels different from before.
When I bend/open my fingers, particularly the little finger, I feel some pain/tightness around the wrist.
I also occasionally get brief burning/hot-water-like or nerve-type sensations and a heartbeat/pulsing feeling around my elbow .
My fingers are warm, normally coloured and movable, and I do not have constant or severe pain.
Could this be swelling, nerve/tendon irritation, or pressure from the cast, and should the cast be checked or adjusted?
Also, given my age and isolated arm fracture, is there any need for a blood thinner, or is it unnecessary in my case?
My heavy cooler fell near my ankle and it's swollen there . It's been more than week and I don't think swelling is reducing much . I guess I used crepe bandage and sumo gel to reduce swelling . I can easily walk and even play Badminton . Maybe when I rotate my ankle it hurts .
