You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.

What was the cause of foot drop? As it is 2 years mentioned by you, tendon transfer seems like plausible treatment. But clinical examination is must. Please visit Orthopaedic Surgeon near you.

Foot drop since 2 years needs a neurologist consultation. Foe symptomatic relief a Physiotherapist can provide with nerve stimulation to help the activation of nerves but always advisable to consult a Neurologist first.

Left hand pain till morning

Male | 33

Left-hand discomfort can arise from various sources, such as muscle strain, repetitive motion, or even underlying conditions like arthritis or nerve compression. Symptoms may include aching, stiffness, or numbness. To alleviate this, consider resting the hand, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain relief as needed. Additionally, gentle stretching exercises can promote circulation and flexibility. However, if the sensation persists or worsens, seeking advice from a orthopedist is essential. They can offer a thorough assessment and personalized treatment options to ensure your well-being.

I have grinding in my right shoulder (dominant arm) along with accompanying pain at some times. Last year I was playing basketball and after a few weeks of playing some games I developed a pain in said shoulder. I let the pain fade on its own and discovered the grinding (like a bone on bone contact) in my shoulder. I would like to know if it could be serious and if at this point I could do anything about it. I am an athlete and have had tendinitis in my Achilles tendon (ankle) if that helps anything.

Male | 18

Shoulder pain can come­ from shoulder impingement. This me­ans shoulder tendons get pinche­d, resulting in grinding discomfort. Athletes face higher risk due­ to repeated arm motions. Tre­atment options include physical therapy e­xercises to strengthe­n shoulder muscles. Avoid activities worse­ning symptoms. Use ice packs to cut inflammation.

मेरी नाक की हड्डी एक तरफ से बढ़ गई है क्योंकि सास नहीं ले पा रहा हूं अच्छे से 1 साल होने वाला है

Male | 18

नाक की एक तरफ का बढ़ना और सांस लेने में परेशानी कई कारणों से हो सकता है, जैसे कि नाक का टेढ़ा होना, अलर्जीज, या साइनस इन्फेक्शन। अगर आपको लंबे समय से यह समस्या है, तो यह जरूरी है कि आप किसी विशेषज्ञ से मिलें। डॉक्टर जांच करके उचित निदान कर सकते हैं और उपचार के लिए सही कदम उठाएंगे। यदि आवश्यक हो, तो उपचार में दवाइयाँ या सर्जरी शामिल हो सकती हैं। अपनी सेहत का ख्याल रखें और जल्द से जल्द चिकित्सा सहायता लें।

Female | 32

Your symptoms are similar to osteoarthritis. This condition occurs when the protective cartilage in the joints wears down over time, causing pain and stiffness. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery to manage symptoms. Continue monitoring your symptoms and contact your doctor if you experience any new or worsening symptoms.

How to get rid of knee crepitus

Male | 36

Knee crepitus can be from multiple causes. Painless crepitus can be ignored. So, I won't advice for crepitus knee treatment as such.. Crepitus from knee cap problems can be cured with hip and knee strengthening. Crepitus from cartilage irregularities or loose pieces often need minor keyhole surgery. Painful crepitus from arthritis is initially treated with physical therapy and surgery when therapy stops helping.

Thank you for reaching out regarding your low back pain and myofascial discomfort in your right quadratus lumborum muscle. These issues can stem from muscle strain, poor posture, or stress. An MRI will help us understand the underlying causes better. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ketsuda at your earliest convenience to discuss your symptoms in detail and explore treatment options.
