Is Borderline HLA B27 Test Result Serious?

Hi Ma'am, I am Deepanshu Chaudhary (Age 24 years). I have had pain in my hip since the past 2-3 months. It became minimum when I did physiotherapy sessions but it came back again. I consulted an orthopedic surgeon with an Xray and he suggested me to do an HLA B27 test which came out to be borderline positive. I am confused and worried about this test result. Also my next consultation with him is tomorrow which is why I am getting a bit anxious about my condition and the result. I wanted to know whether this a serious problem or not

I know you are worried about the HLA B27 test result which showed a borderline positive. This test is associated with diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis which can lead to hip pain. Some of the symptoms are painful and stiff hip areas. The remedy is a further check-up by an orthopedist to choose the best way.

Lower back and hip pain. Been to chiropractor twice and muscle relaxers not working

Female | 37

Lower back and hip pain result from many factors, like muscle strain, arthritis, or slip disc. It is better to consult a orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. An orthopedist can talk about physical therapy, medication and surgery if needed. Remember not to use self-medication and medical consultation to manage the pain.

Cervical injury, many doctors check but not relief

Male | 25

The cervical injury normally comes with pain in the neck region. The reasons behind this can be accidents, incorrect posture, or too much hard work. For relief, first, rest your neck, use ice packs, and take pain medication if your doctor prescribes it. However, ensuring you get a professional opinion is important if the pain does not go away.

I am trying to find the starting point to getting my knees replaced

Knee replacement surgery is done to replace the damaged joints so patient is relieved of symptoms. The knee joint with an artificial knee called prosthesis made of metal, plastic, and ceramic. It helps to restore function of the damaged knee and relieve arthritis pain. Knee replacement surgery is advised if the pain is interfering with your daily activities and negatively affecting your quality of life. Types of knee replacement surgery Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement - When both knees are replaced at the same time. The primary advantage of a procedure is that there is only one hospital stay and one rehabilitation period to heal both knees. But rehabilitation may be slower. Also these patients may need assistance at home also. Generalized fitness is important here. Staged bilateral knee replacement- Each knee is replaced at a different time. These surgeries are done a few months apart. This staged approach helps one knee to recover before the second surgery. The main advantage of a this procedure is the reduced risk of complications and also requires a shorter hospital stay. However, since this procedure requires two surgeries, the overall rehabilitation period can be longer. Either surgery may involve any combination of total knee replacement or partial knee replacement. The risks associated with this surgery: infection, blood clots, failure of the artificial joint, heart attack etc. Post surgery care, rehabilitation is very important. Hope our answer helps you.

Hi there, Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to ask about medial tibial stress syndrome/tibial stress fractures. I’ve been training for my 2nd marathon for the past few months and have experienced some shin pain along the inside of my left leg (dominate leg). It’s a low pain level that never exceeds 1-3 out of 10 on a pain level scale. My main issue is that it’s challenging to self diagnose this. Part of me sees a couple fracture symptoms - the pain is localized (not big like a typical shin splint), there is slight pain when I run up or down stairs, some discomfort when I jump multiple times on the one leg, and the pain fluctuates from day to day. And although the pain point is localized, it’s not quite as tender or painful as some examples I’ve read online (so maybe not a fracture?). My reasons why I think this could just be a shin splint are because the pain has not gotten worse over the past 3 weeks (while running), and the pain fades away most of the time when I’m running (sometimes I feel discomfort during the first mile or 2 but then it’s gone). I even ran a half marathon race with a personal best time just 5 days ago, and was not bothered by it during or after the race. I started noticing this issue about 3 weeks ago. I took a couple days off from running 2.5 weeks ago to address it. I didn’t think it was anything alarming, so I continued my training for 2 weeks - I run about 50 to 60 miles a week. I haven’t ran for 5 days this week because I began to get paranoid about this injury still lingering (last thing I want is to turn a shin splint into a fracture). It’s strange the injury hasn’t gotten worse, and like I said, the pain fluctuates from day to day, but never exceeds a 3 out of 10 on the pain level scale. I’m wondering if you have any recommendations and if it’s worth visiting a doctor in person soon. My ultimate goal is to still run my marathon the final weekend of April, but I’ll need at least 5 to 6 more weeks of training - therefore if my rest time exceeds 3 weeks, I probably can’t do the race. Obviously it’s not the end of the world if I have to sit out. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon! Take care, Dominic

I am 23 year old female having quadricep tendinitis from 3 months in both legs now my pain is moving knee to thighs and having extreme pain

Female | 23

You might be having a rough time with your quadricep tendinitis. The symptoms you're going through, like pain moving from your knees to your thighs, can be a challenge. This kind of injury can be caused by overusing your legs or not warming up properly before exercise. To help with this, try doing some gentle stretches and avoiding activities that worsen the pain. As well, applying ice packs and elevating your legs can provide some relief.
