Why does my leg swell when sitting at work?
My mother's leg has been swollen for almost a year since she started sitting at the shop, but when she stays at home the swelling goes away...why
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 8th Aug '24
Your mom may have peripheral edema, which can cause swelling in her legs. For example, sitting still for too long can cause fluid to accumulate in her legs, leading to swelling. This happens because sitting reduces blood circulation. When she's at home and moving around, the swelling reduces because movement helps the fluid flow back up. Encouraging her to take short walks or do leg exercises while at the shop can help reduce the swelling.

Low back pain down to both legs
Male | 36
Sciatica causes your back nerve to feel squeezed. This makes both legs hurt, tingle, or go numb. You can try resting, using ice packs or heating pads, and gentle stretches. But don't wait too long - if leg pains remain, you should see an orthopedist. Further exams and treatments may be needed to address this common back problem.

Mild Pain at the left thigh what's the best remedy
Male | 37
Muscle strain or overuse might cause this. Long periods of sitting or standing could also be the reason. Rest your leg, use a warm compress, gently massage the area - these may help ease discomfort. If pain persists or worsens, avoid activities aggravating it, give your leg rest. Stay hydrated, do gentle stretches. But if pain lingers after a few days, consult an orthopedist for proper treatment.

I have low back pain for 16 days now. It started mild at first – first seven days and it hurt when I sit down. When I stood, pain almost completely went away or when I lay down. Later, I had spasms in my back for a couple of days and I wasn't mobile for a while. Now I'm but I feel dull ache in the lower back. When I bend over, I need to be careful. Pain is localized and it's not radiating. I don't have any other symptoms.
Female | 29
Back pain is often caused by muscle strain. It occurs when muscles are overstretched by heavy lifting or quick movements. If bending over hurts, that likely indicates a strained muscle. To ease the discomfort, apply ice packs and do gentle stretching exercises. However, avoid any strenuous activities that strain your back further. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

I have congenital problem of hypoplasia of both lower limbs to deformity of axle foot with locomotor disability of 65 %. Need recovery treatment by completely
Female | 22
Your legs did not develop properly at birth, which has caused your feet to form abnormally and made it difficult for you to move. Treatments like therapy, braces, or surgery could help improve your condition. These treatments may help you walk better and feel more comfortable. Because your limbs do not fully form, your feet are bent, and movement and balance are difficult. However, with the right therapy, braces, or surgery, your mobility and balance might improve based on your specific case. While this issue has made movement challenging, it does not mean you are helpless.

Pain left thigh since Oct 2022. I fell down from an e-rickshaw while boarding on it. One leg on the rickshaw and another on the ground and I was dragged for about two meters until I fell on the ground. Since then got this pain.
Female | 55
Your left thigh pain since last October might be from that fall. Typical signs are aches, swelling, and leg troubles. You likely strained or bruised thigh muscles during impact. Try resting, icing the spot, and gentle stretches. But if there is no improvement or worse pain, it's wise to visit an orthopedist. They'll check and properly treat the injury.

Female | 52
Your MRI shows a disc problem in your lower back, specifically at the L4-L5 level. This is causing pressure on nerves, leading to back pain and sciatica on the right side. It occurs when the soft material inside the disc pushes out. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain medications, and possibly surgery if severe. Make sure to follow up with an orthopedist for the best advice.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?
As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

Nerve swelling like bulb in lower leg near tibia
Male | 21
You've got the symptoms of a ganglion cyst. These are small liquid-filled bumps that can evolve near your tibia. Typically this doesn't hurt but sometimes it can be uncomfortable or give a feeling of being under pressure. They oftentimes disappear on their own, however, if you are hurt by it you can attempt to apply ice and rest on your leg. It is important to see an orthopedist to examine it, in case it doesn't improve.

Please I have severe pain in my lower back down to both of my legs
Male | 24
You might be suffering from sciatica, a condition where pain starts in your lower back and goes down to your legs. This happens because a nerve in your back is under pressure. The pain can be shooting, sharp, or constant. To relieve the pain, it is important to rest, use heat or ice packs, and do gentle stretches. If the pain persists, it's best to see an orthopedist for further tests and treatment options.
