Why do I have leg, back pain, swelling with diabetes?

I am 60 Years old( I have diabetics) and I am having bad leg pull and lower back pain from past few days. My ankles and thumb are a bit swollen. This will remain for few days and go after a good rest/ or take a DOLO 650. This will return after few days. There are no other complaints.

Answered on 23rd Oct '24

These symptoms may be related to your diabetes, which can cause nerve damage and poor blood circulation, leading to pain and swelling in the legs and feet. While DOLO 650 can provide temporary relief, managing your diabetes is key to preventing these issues. Follow your treatment plan, maintain healthy blood sugar levels, and exercise regularly to improve circulation. Remember to elevate your legs when resting and wear light shoes to reduce swelling. If the pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

I am 59 years old and since I started taking Tasigna 200mg, there has been a stiffness in my thumb. I do not know if this is related to the medication, but I have been having a stiffness, twitching, in my thumb, mostly the joints, especially in my knuckle. Sometimes it also spreads to my wrist and other fingers. Also, if it touches anything (the finger) it kind of has a sore and burning sensation.

Female | 59

It seems plausible that the rigidity and spasms evident in your thumb may be indicative of arthritis. Arthritis usually leads to soreness, lack of mobility, as well as a burning sensation felt at the joints around such parts as the knuckles and wrists. This could linked with the Tasigna you’re taking. To alleviate the symptoms of this condition, try doing some easy exercises, using hot or cold packs on the area or discussing potential drug changes with your physician.

Its advisable to get proper diagnosis and treatment from an orthopedic. General approaches can be used like medications/ pain relievers or anti inflammatory drugs, physical therapy to improve joint mobility, hot and cold therapy for pain relief etc. Also maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet may also be beneficial.

I am 30 female recently i fall down from activa and got bruises just wanted to know if it is infected or not

Female | 30

If you have any bruising and are worried about infection there are some things to look out for. An infected bruise may become more swollen, red, warm, or painful. If you notice these signs then it could be infected. Gently clean the bruise, apply a clean dressing, and keep an eye on it. If in doubt, get it looked at.
