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?

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.
My wife is 36 years old and has had persistent right-sided pain for more than 10 months. The pain starts near the lower part of the right shoulder blade and spreads upward toward the neck and into the right arm. We have not received a clear diagnosis yet. We would like a specialist evaluation to understand whether the pain could be related to the cervical spine, nerve irritation/compression, shoulder-blade muscles, upper back, or shoulder joint. We are considering an MRI, but would prefer advice on the most appropriate targeted scan rather than a whole-body MRI. Please also advise whether neurological examination, nerve-conduction studies, X-ray, physiotherapy assessment, or other tests would be useful.
