Hello , It is a substitute of plaster and can be opted for . The aim is immobilisation and it shall be fulfilled.

For pain take tablet paracetamol 650 mg and it can be postural or due to defeciency of multi vitamins and get your blood checked for cbc.

Disuse and overuse both will affect you. Be some what active not more neither less. Ice massage, crepe bandage will prevent further damage. Whenever you are tend to use knee for day to day activities just ware crepe bandage and just remove it while rest.

Advice. Avoid sitting cross legged. Avoid squatting- quadriceps exercises- lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain. Core strengthening exercise- straight leg raised with toes turned outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day. Hams stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. Repeat 10 times, twice a day. Sports taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area contrast fomentation (hot and cold).

Yes it is harmfull to bear more weight on single leg. There may be so many reasons in this case. May be you have weak left hip joint or may be your left knee has arthiritis that's why your left leg is not taking equal weight. Or weakness of left leg muscles can also be the cause. So first you should visit some orthopedician and get yourself checked and diagnosed properly. A proper diagnosis is must for a proper treament.

First of all you need to test your blood for thyroid and uric acid, then change your shampoo into a baby shampoo, apply alovera gel extract, apply hot oil massage with olive oil and coconut oil, apply natural henna powder dipped in liquor of tea overnight, next day add whole egg, curd, 10 ml coconut oil, few drops of lemon juice, with this you need proper homoeopathic treatment to cure your back pain as well your hair problem also, do some yoga.

Start with physiotherapy sessions and learn exercise. Stop driving. Take calcium and methylcobalamine supplement with omega3 for three months minimum.

Hi lybrate-user. This pain might be due to wear and tear in your knee cartilage which is osteoarthritis. It is the most common problem in elderly age. Walking is fine but if you have pain stop. I would suggest to do cycling which is a better form of exercise in OA knees. Do not squat or sit cross legged and also climbing stairs to minimal. Pain killer you can take for few days etorocoxib 60 mg twice a day for may be 5-7 days. Take an antacid with it. Also get your knee xray done to see what stage is your osteoarthritis. I hope this helps you.

Dear lybrate user use hot pack 15 minutes twice a day. Avoid cross leg sitting prolonged standing and walking, both ankle move up and down 10 times, roll big towel keep it under your knee press it against towel hold 5 to 10 sec 10 repeataion, put up pillow between both knee give inward pressure hol 5 second repeat 10 times, alternate bend straight your knee with foot bed contact 20 times repeat, straight leg raise upto 10 inch hold 5 second repeat 5 times, sit and stand 10 times from bed or chair.
