Struggling with Sciatica Pain: What's my Next Step?
I m suffering from sciatica pain for the last 5 months. No relief after physiotherapy, pain killers and stretching exercises. What to do now?

Answered on 7th Dec '24
Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. The result could be sharp pain down the leg. In case physiotherapy, pain medications, and stretching exercises have been ineffective, a change to other treatment methods such as epidural steroid injections, acupuncture, or surgery should be considered. Be sure to bring these treatments up with an orthopedist for the best plan to follow.

Can foot drop be treated without undergoing surgery?
Male | 44
Yes, Electro acupuncture has given great results in treating foot drop.
Foot drop is mobility impairment of an ankle, foot and toes which causes foot drop. It is usually caused by a stroke.
Acupuncture point along with electro stimulation, combined with Moxibustion ( passing heat) showed significant improvement in the condition of the patient.
Acupuncture helps in improving motor function in patients with foot drop. Some physical exercises ( at later stages) will be given which will also help in correcting the foot drop completely.

Male | 57
Negative effects on the back may come from several sources including muscle stress, improper body position, or even spine issues. Because you have already tried several methods, it is time for you to get a second opinion. Consult an orthopedist who could pinpoint the cause and suggest the most effective strategy for your condition.

I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist I'm suppose to have surgery on in the morning, the cyst disappeared 3 days ago. Should I still have the surgery or will they do the surgery still
Male | 37
Your ganglion cysts aren't often painful, though sometimes annoying or movement-limiting. Since yours vanished naturally, surgery might not be required anymore. However, inform your doctor about this development so they can reassess if the operation is still necessary or not.

I am sorry to say this, but the information provided is not sufficient, with X-ray it is difficult to diagnose osteoporosis.
Please provide detailed history for further diagnosis. You can reach out to me or any doctor from the following page - Rheumatologists in India.

Male | 23
This is often the case for runners who have to deal with this type of pain. The factors may be, first, overuse, second, wrong footwear, and third muscle imbalance. As a first step, try to diminish the volume and the intensity of your running. You can also try icing the area, gentle stretching, and strengthening exercises for your leg muscles. It's crucial to listen to your body and if you feel pain, take breaks when necessary during the training. If it still hurts, it's better to consult with an orthopedist or a sports medicine expert.

Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

there is a lump on my calves i’d like to know what is that
Female | 16
This might be caused by a muscle knot or cyst developing whenever a muscle tightens or a sac fills with fluid. When you touch it, you may feel pain, tenderness, or no symptoms at all. It is important to use warm compresses, massage gently, and perform stretch exercises. If the situation doesn’t improve, seek medical advice for further assessment from an orthopedist

Male | 19
Pus is a sign of infection; hence, your wound can be infected. The next steps are to keep clean areas, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover them with a bandage. Moreover, you need to talk to a doctor to be sure the wound is healing well.

Im a 29 year old male. Since 10 to 15 days experiencing fatigue all over body, knee and leg pain even for a 5 minute walk. Join pains
Male | 29
Fatigue and joint pain, particularly in the knees and legs, originate from diverse reasons like inflammation, overuse, or even nutrient shortcomings. You must be able to tell among rest, water, and exercises that apply to gentle stretching and low-impact movements to help you move about easily. Furthermore, proper food ingestion of vitamins and supplements that can assist the entire body is another way for people to generally be healthy. Nevertheless, continuous symptoms push you to visit an orthopedist.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb
Male | 26
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

Wrist movement after tendon cut joining
Male | 27
Accidentally cutting a tendon that moves your wrist means trouble getting it to bend or straighten. An injury or surgery could cause this. The symptoms? Difficulty bending or making your wrist flat. To fix it, surgery reconnects the tendon ends. But after, physical therapy helps regain wrist movement.
