I'm having neck pain and upper back pain only on left side and it is radiation to arms only and no tingling or pins and needles. I visited ortho doctor he mentioned to take zerodol th max 4 for 5 days morning and night and pregaba m75 for 10 days. Is it ok to pregaba m75 with asomex 2.5 which I'm taking from 2 years. Also can I stop pregaba m75 after 10 days? Please help
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?

Patients often arrive expecting the X-ray to make the decision. It does not. An X-ray showing bone-on-bone arthritis is not by itself an indication for knee replacement, and a moderate looking X-ray does not rule it out.The decision is made from several things together. Here is what a ...
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 ...
