Hi I'm 52 yrs old female with torn ACL ligament, worn cartilage and torn meniscus I'm confused wether to go for surgical reconstruction or to go with life style modifications. But without medicines the pain gets aggressive.

Disrupted ALC, injured cartilage, and torn menisci are often associated with more pain while moving. After all, surgical reconstruction helps in restoring normal function and thus relieving the pain, if all other measures remain unsuccessful. Lifestyle transformation including physical therapy and diet management also will help with symptom relief. A consultation with an orthopedist, who will give you options based on your problem, can be another approach.  You should also consult an orthopedist.

I am 21 years old. I have been having a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade for up to four months now

Male | 21

You may have a muscle­ strain in your left shoulder blade. This happe­ns when you use that muscle a lot or have­ poor posture. You may feel sharp pain, e­specially when moving your arm. Try gently stre­tching and putting ice on the area. Do not do things that make­ the pain worse. If it kee­ps bothering you, you might need to se­e a physiotherapist for help.

My 8 year old daughter recently got diagnosed with a 63 degree thoracic dextro curvature (scoliosis). Will she have to have surgery?

Female | 8

A 63-degree thoracic dextro curve in an 8-year-old is hardly a short one. Your daughter may need surgery at some point, but careful watching is essential. Sometimes, bracing or physical therapy can help. Surgery is usually the last option considered for severe curves or if the curve is worsening rapidly. Hence, let us monitor it and collaborate with the doctors to come up with the best plan.

I'm a volleyball player who had ankle sprains over a year ago I have been having ankle pain and wondering if it was a stress fracture

Female | 15

You might be having a stress fracture in your ankle. A sports activity can sometimes be followed by the bone becoming too stressed and hence, this can happen. Symptoms consist of pain, swelling, and the inability to walk properly. To heal, you'll need rest, ice, raising your foot, and probably a brace. It's good to let it be and let your ankle heal.

Male | 65

If your belly fe­els upset after taking me­dicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tire­dness can occur due to certain drugs. Whe­n you consume lunch and feel ill, your body re­acts to the medication. Ensure hydrating we­ll and eating smaller, lighter me­als until you feel better.

After bypass surgery there is significant pain in leg after months of surgery

Male | 75

If you're feeling a lot of pain in your leg months after having bypass surgery, it could be due to a condition called peripheral artery disease. This is a situation in which the blood vessels in your leg are not functioning properly, thus, pain is caused. To help, try to walk periodically as directed, keep your leg elevated as much as possible, and take any prescribed medications. If the pain doesn't go away, tell your surgeon about it.

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.

Vitamins or medication for joint and bone health because I have knee pain

Male | 25

It is suggested to get in touch with an orthopedic doctor while you suffer from knee pain. They can advise you to receive X-rays or CT scans to find out what is the cause of the pain and how severe it is. Based on the diagnosis, they might offer some medications or supplements like the vitamins of type D and Calcium because they are bone health essentials.
