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.

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 19 years old, female. I have been suffering from a clicking sound on my right side jaw for last 5 days. And also I am having problem to open my mouth widely. Is this tmj problem? And what should I do now? Please help sir
Female | 19
You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.

Hi, I'm taking 1.5ml of Testosterone Ethanate 300mg/ml once per week but I'm due to get a cortisone injection in my hand for trigger finger in 2 weeks time. Will this be ok to have whilst I'm taking this?
Male | 40
Testosterone Ethanate (T.E.) is a hormone, while cortisone is a medication used to reduce inflammation. Getting a cortisone injection for the trigger finger shouldn't be an issue while on T.E., as they work differently in the body. However, always inform your orthopedist about all medications you're taking. Trigger finger occurs due to tendon inflammation, causing fingers to get stuck in a bent position. A corticosteroid injection can reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms.

I have an ingrown nail in the feet. Now i geel my feet weird and my leg like a tendon ahs been pulled
Female | 44
This occurs when the nail’s edge grows into the skin, resulting in pain and redness. If left untended, an infection can develop. Your strange foot feelings and the pulled-tendon-like sensation in your leg could both be tied to this condition. To help reduce discomfort, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently massage the area. However, if the pain continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to seek help from an orthopedist.

hi im zarina 40 yrs old since few years i have neck and right hand pain but nowadays its pain is extremely and i did an xray can u assist me plz
Female | 40
You sound like you're in pain with your neck and right-hand issues. The X-ray procedure you suggested was an excellent way to find out what was wrong. The pain in your neck and right hand might be caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or even arthritis. You can do sciatic stretching, apply heat or ice packs, and exercise good posture to improve your health. If it remains, see an orthopedist for additional tests and therapy solutions.

Hi I am 33 years old weighing 75 kgs approx.I have 3 kids with natural delivery.Since 10 days I am having pain in my left knee which occurs only while bending or climbing up the stairs.I have no problem while standing or doing any heavy related work.Its only at bending time that the pain kicks in. I am healthy with no allergies,infections or any other ailment. I haven't been injured in my legs.I feel it's happening due to increase in my uric acid. Kindly advise on my course of action to alleviate the pain.
Female | 33
Your left knee hurts when you're bending over or climbing stairs. This kind of pain, which occurs only on bending, might be due to a condition called patellofemoral pain syndrome. It is likely to be triggered by activities such as climbing stairs. Increasing uric acid levels are not generally associated with knee pain. To help ease the pain, you can begin by taking it easy on your knee, applying ice packs, gently stretching, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If the pain persists, it's best to seek advice from an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I'm 25 years age. I have several issues some of them from my childhood and some of them are from 15 age. I have back pain. Back muscles are usually very tight. Plus I have right shoulder pain right knee pain right feet pain. And tremor in my both hands from childhood. I have one small eye and one comparatively large eye. Have asymetric eyes. And I have tight pelvic floor. Whenever I sleep on right side bladder leaks at night in the bed. But when I sleep on the left side it doesn't happen at all. From past 3 4 days I have pain under my eyes.
Male | 25
It sounds like you have multiple health issues that need attention. For your back, shoulder, knee, and feet pain, as well as tight muscles and tremors, it is best to see an orthopedic doctor. The asymmetry in your eyes and recent pain under your eyes should be checked by an ophthalmologist. For pelvic floor tightness and bladder issues, a visit to a urologist is recommended.

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.

Joint pain is difficult to manage. It results from arthritis or injuries. Wyslone 5mg tablets provide relief. However, caution is necessary during breastfeeding.

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.

Leg ankle heavy pain and swelling
Female | 25
An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

I'm a 42 year old male diagnosed with undescended testes and now my joints and back are painful I've tried medication but pain is not going anywhere. Other symptoms 1.No facial hair 2. Male breast 3. Difficulty in Concentration
Male | 42
Based on your symptoms it seems that you might have a Klinefelter syndrome which can lead to undescended testes and joint pain. Executed in males who have an extra X chromosome. The inability to grow facial hair, the development of male breasts, and the trouble to concentrate are also other frequent conditions. So, it's crucial to consult an endocrinologist for the correct diagnosis and treatment which may include hormone therapy and pain management strategies for this condition.

Conclusion: Hypointense fracture of the metaphysis of the tibia proximally with stress edema of the bone. Moderate suprapatellar and minor intra-articular effusion. Irritation of suprapatellar fat. ACL femoral condyle distension. Possible partial rupture of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus. Distension of the proximal tibiofibular joint.
Female | 27
After going through your tests, it looks like the shinbone is fractured near the joint with a gradually progressive fracture inside the bone. Besides, there is liquid in the knee with some tension in the fat pad over the patella. The anterior ligament of the knee may be strained and the meniscus, a disc in the knee, may have a minor tear. The bones are separated, namely the shinbone, and the smaller leg bones are stretched. This will bring about pain, swelling, and at times impaired mobility of the knee. Resting, elevating the lower limb, using ice, and probably a brace could be an excellent start for a cure. In some situations, physiotherapy or surgery might be required for the knee to become stronger and better. You mustn't put any weight on the leg with the problem no matter what until an orthopedist advises the opposite.
