Caring for your ankle­ by icing, resting, elevating, and compre­ssing is wise. However, swe­lling lasting 3 weeks raises conce­rn. Walking pain-free is positive, ye­t sitting discomfort hints at lingering issues. Consult an orthopedist to rule out se­rious problems. Meanwhile, continue­ icing, resting and elevating.

You should consult an orthopedist so that he can be able to determine the underlying cause of your leg pain and swelling. The following symptoms can be caused by musculoskeletal or vascular conditions and need to be immediately checked by the doctor.

I have tfcc injury about a 1 month which medicine is taken to treat this

Male | 23

Seeing an orthopedist and getting a full diagnosis and a treatment plan is the first thing I would advise you to do for the TFCC injury. The specialist would probably issue a script for painkillers, immobilization, and/or physiotherapy and surgery only if the damage is severe.

my right leg/thigh/hip is bigger than the left What is wrong with me

Male | 20

If one leg/thigh/hip is bigger than the other, it might be because of a muscle imbalance. This means that one side is stronger than the other. You may develop this condition by constantly using your one leg when walking or doing physical exercises. To solve this problem, ensure workouts that will serve each side equally.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis

Female | 49

Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

First step would be pain management , the target points and local points, electro stimulation therapy would help to increase blood flow in the body and help quick repair of the disc fracture, moxibustion ( passing heat in the body) through specific points, diet tips to strengthen back would be recommended, Some exercises will also be given to patient. Everything mentioned above is tried and tested with excellent response in patients.
