Please try to do regular back strengthening exercises and maintaing a good posture while sitting and studying will definitely help in the long run. Though the benefit of exercises and posture might take 3-4 month to be apparent.

Looks like you are suffering from shin splint. Consult sports physiotherapist for detailed treatment plan.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. It's not possible to tell medicines for anyone without knowing proper history, your investigations and treatment thus far. Obviously your knee and back has degenerative changes, you need to do - intensive physiotherapy under supervision of a physiotherapist - daily walks of 2-3 km per day - take adequate calcium and vitamin d intake as per requirement. Please send me you x rays of lower back and knees so that I can see and advise accordingly do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance.

Please do a x-ray of the knee. Do hot compresses. Do not stand/walk/sit for long at a stretch. Take mag phos 6x - twice daily 4 tablets.

Apply ice in the painful area which would definitely help to greater extent. And you can wear elbow brace which would help you to keep your elbow warm and will give you protection.

Just wait for some time. Try to use your hand as much as possible. Pain will gradually go or you can consult a physiotherapist.

Dear lybrate-user, Please do an X ray to find out cause of such shooting pain. Treatment will depend on if it is nerve or muscle related, or any other reason. Regards.
