My mother is suffering from severe back knee pain. Pain starts from the back of the knee and runs in the whole foot.No swelling or black - blue in the area. The only nerves in the area are black blue.
Pain increases when she folds knee.if kept straight then nerves stiffness is there. A hot press makes the stiffness worse. She can't take the weight of her body. Can't walk.
I have been going to the gym for the past 2-3 weeks and since 3-4 days I have noticed a bump in the left side of my right wrist. It is a slightly stiff bump and pains when I bend my wrist backwards. Its size reduces the day I rest but increases again after going to gym. It is something I should be worried about?

For 2–3 years, I’ve had a mild internal warm/burning or weird sensation in both knees, sometimes in both elbows.
Very rarely, my finger joints also feel slightly stiff, mostly after riding a bike. No significant pain, swelling, redness, or prolonged morning stiffness.
2026 tests: ANA, RF, Anti-CCP and HLA-B27 negative; B12 390; Vitamin D 33, CRP- normal(0.9)

Could this be nerve/muscle-related rather than arthritis?
Hello Doctor,
I am a football player and had suffered an injury in my Achilles tendon of both of my legs a few months back. Initially, I took a few days of rest and resumed playing once there was no pain. However, I again got an injury on my right Achilles tendon, and this time the pain was so severe that I was unable to put weight on my right heel.
After undergoing X-ray and ultrasound, I have been diagnosed with Achilles calcific tendinitis on both of my legs.
Could you please advise on:
1. How long does recovery typically take in such cases?
2. Will I be able to return to competitive football?
