Two weeks ago my vit d level came to 24.The doctor has given me 60k units of oral vit d shots.I often have pain in my knees, shoulders and back. And the calf also keeps getting tired.Can this ever be okay, doctor? The bones of my hands, feet or waist often crack while I am doing some work.what should I 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.
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?
Done xray and doc told that there is cervical rib developed which is rare. Symptoms include neck pain while looking down and sidewards and while sleeping neck nerve pain. Using soft neck collar fewtimes a day. What is the permanent solution ?
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 .
Not every arthritic knee needs the whole joint resurfaced. In a well selected group of patients, replacing only the worn compartment preserves the rest of the knee, including the cruciate ligaments, and generally produces a knee that feels more natural.The difficulty is that partial knee ...
It is one of the most common things patients describe: the knee that behaved reasonably all day becomes impossible at eleven at night. This is not imagination, and it is not simply that there is nothing else to think about. There are specific reasons, and they carry diagnostic ...
Knee osteoarthritis is not one condition with one treatment. It is a spectrum, and the single most useful thing a patient can know is which part of that spectrum their knee sits in. The stage decides the treatment far more than the severity of pain does.Radiologists commonly grade it ...
The decision to undergo knee replacement can bring many questions and concerns. Even when knee pain has started affecting walking, sleep, stairs, or everyday activities, the thought of surgery can feel overwhelming. Understanding what to expect can help reduce anxiety and make the decision ...
