Why is my right leg vibrating with heavy pain?
I m SANJAY I have sleep disc problem right leg vibret in feet and right side but heavy
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 30th Oct '24
It looks like a slipped disc is the main reason for your complaints. This is because one of the discs in your spine has shifted away from its normal place and has come in the way of the nearby nerves. Consequently, you may experience a vibrating sensation and a feeling of heaviness on one side of your body, especially in your left leg and foot. To help with this, it's necessary to take a rest, stay away from heavy lifting, and perform light exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist.

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.

Maybe, your mom is facing some problems with her blood circulation on the left leg. If your mom's leg puffs up and then it becomes normal, this can be a symptom of circulation problems. The pain she's feeling might be because her leg is receiving insufficient blood. She needs to consult with an orthopedist about this to know what is happening with her and get the proper treatment to her feel better.

Can I Have a Cortisone Injection with Testosterone Ethanate?
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?
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
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.

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.
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd Oct '24
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.

Why are my hands swelling and painful?
Hi There, I recently had a full blood count test and a kidney function test to check for any abnormalities, and the results were normal. However, lately, my hands have been feeling full and it’s difficult to open and close them, sometimes causing pain. They do swell slightly, particularly in the morning after I wake up. At night, I can feel blood flowing to my hands, and I experience the same sensation during the day at work.
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Answered on 22nd Oct '24
This can happen if there is pressure on the nerves in your wrist. Repetitive hand movements or certain health conditions are the main culprits. You can do it by using a wrist splint, taking breaks, and doing hand exercises. Also, if the symptoms continue, you should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.

The pain in your upper back, especially at night and after smoking, along with breathlessness after exercises, could be a sign of a lung or heart problem. These symptoms are also the cause of concern, which is why it is important to have an orthopedist check you as soon as possible. These symptoms may be due to inflammation in the lungs or heart, which in turn, requires medical treatment.

Chronic lower back pain can have various causes, such as spinal herniation, muscle strain, or spinal stenosis. If the pain feels nerve-related and affects your ability to walk, it could indicate nerve compression or damage. If medications like Lyrica and Palexia aren't effective, consider discussing other options with an orthopedist, such as physical therapy, injections, or surgery.

Why Have I Been Suffering Little Toe Pain?
Little toe pain for 4 months
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 18th Oct '24
Little toe pain for 4 months is quite a long time. Shoes that do not fit well or a small injury may be the cause. At times, however, some diseases such as arthritis may be responsible for the long-lasting pain as well. To relieve swelling and discomfort, ice the area, rest your foot, and wear comfortable shoes. If the pain persists, it's advisable to see an orthopedist.
