Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Managing rheumatoid arthritis and degenerative disc disease can be challenging, often leading to persistent discomfort and emotional challenges like anxiety and depression. This is due to chronic inflammation and nerve irritation in the spine. Solutions include physical therapy, medication for pain relief, and mindfulness techniques for emotional support. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and gentle exercise can enhance overall well-being. It’s essential to consult your orthopedist to tailor an effective treatment plan that meets your unique needs.

Hello, I had a partial tear in the patellar tendon in the right knee. The doctor gave me a belt to stabilize the leg, which was loose for more than a month. At the appointment, he said that the tear had healed without me taking an x-ray. He sent me to physical rehabilitation to do the classes. My question is, can I walk without that belt and crutch? To strengthen the thigh muscle

ذكر | 38

Your kneecap tendon has healed, which is great! If you feel unsure about walking without support, that's normal. It's important to start slowly and listen to your body. If you experience any discomfort, continue using a knee brace or crutches. As you grow stronger and more stable, gradually reduce your reliance on them.

Female | 21

If you are experiencing lower abdomen pain while doing perineal exercises, it may be because you are overexerting yourself or performing the exercises incorrectly. Consult a physical therapist to assess your technique and ensure that you are performing the exercises safely.

I’m really anxious about something that happened recently and wanted to get your thoughts. So, I went to see a doctor today because I’ve been dealing with some pain in my shoulders. He said it’s due to a deformity in my spine and that it should go away in a few days. The pain is sharp, burning, and kind of aches—it’s definitely worse than what I’ve felt before, but he didn’t seem too concerned. Here’s where I’m stuck: I noticed some scratches on my shoulders, but the doctor didn’t seem to pay much attention to them. When I talked to my dad about it later, he noticed the scratches right away, which freaked me out a bit. The doctor did say that I was vaccinated against rabies a year ago and also for other infectious diseases, so I should be protected, but my mind keeps going to worst-case scenarios. I’ve also been feeling nauseous, but the doctor thinks it’s just nerves. I got super anxious after the whole thing, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I barely slept last night because I’m so worried. I even asked my friends who were there, and they said it didn’t look like anything bit me—just that something flew by. I know I’m probably overthinking this, but should I be worried, or is this just my anxiety getting the best of me? Would appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks!

Pain in left knee. Its been a year and more now. Pain inside the knee. It gets worse when I take sprint or bend or play football.

Male | 25

Inner knee pain that worsens after running, bending, or playing football could be due to an injury like a meniscus tear or ligament damage. Try resting, applying ice, and avoiding activities that increase pain. A physical therapist can guide you through exercises to strengthen your knee and relieve pain.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.
