Symptoms of arthritis symptoms of osteoarthritis may include joint pain and progressive stiffness that develops gradually. Symptoms of may include painful swelling, inflammation, and stiffness in the fingers, arms, legs, and wrists occurring in the same joints on both sides of the body, especially upon waking up in the morning. Knee arthritis can be painful and debilitating. For osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee, self-care early on can often help significantly. It is important to stretch and strengthen the surrounding leg muscles to provide more support and reduce stresses around the joint. The following best bet exercises will help you get started on your path to feeling stronger, more flexible and more active. Remember: exercise should not be painful – if you experience pain, discontinue and consult with your physician. Advice: 1.must take adequate rest 2.apply hot water with mild heat with cotton towel 3.avoid cross leg sitting and long time standing 4. Put the small size chair under the ankle during sitting in the chair for leg elevation 5.do the exercise given below 2 times per day 1.quadriceps setting exercise helps to strengthen the quadriceps muscle (the big muscle on the front of the thigh), an important stabilizer of the knee. Lie on your back with the leg you want to exercise straight. Place a small rolled towel underneath the knee. Slowly tighten the muscle on top of the thigh (quadriceps) and push the back of the knee down into the rolled towel. Hold contraction for 5 seconds and then slowly release, resting 5 seconds between each contraction. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions, 1 time daily. 2.straight leg raise also helps to strengthen the quadriceps muscle. Lie on your back with the leg you want to exercise straight. The other knee should be bent to support your lower back. Tighten the muscle on the top of your thigh and lift to the level of your other knee. Slowly lower. Perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions, 1 time daily. Knee pain •patellar tendinitis: •risk factor •a combination of factors may contribute to the development of patellar tendinitis, including: •physical activity. •running and jumping are most commonly associated with patellar tendinitis. Sudden increases in how hard or how often you engage in the activity also add stress to the tendon, as can changing your running shoes. •tight leg muscles. Tight thigh muscles (quadriceps) and hamstrings, which run up the back of your thighs, can increase strain on your patellar tendon. •muscular imbalance. •if some muscles in your legs are much stronger than others, the stronger muscles could pull harder on your patellar tendon. This uneven pull could cause tendinitis. •chronic illness. •some illnesses disrupt blood flow to the knee, which weakens the tendon. Examples include kidney failure, autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic diseases such as diabetes. •complications •if you try to work through your pain, ignoring your body's warning signs, you could cause increasingly larger tears in the patellar tendon. Knee pain and reduced function can persist if you don't tend to the problem, and you may progress to the more serious patellar tendinopathy. •prevention •to reduce your risk of developing patellar tendinitis, take these steps: •don't play through pain. As soon as you notice exercise-related knee pain, ice the area and rest. Until your knee is pain-free, avoid activities that put stress on your patellar tendon. •strengthen your muscles. Strong thigh muscles are better able to handle the stresses that can cause patellar tendinitis. Eccentric exercises, which involve lowering your leg very slowly after extending your knee, are particularly helpful. •improve your technique. To be sure you're using your body correctly, consider taking lessons or getting professional instructions when starting a new sport or using exercise equipment. •therapy •a variety of physical therapy techniques can help reduce the symptoms associated with patellar tendinitis, including: •patellar tendon strap. A strap that applies pressure to your patellar tendon can help to distribute force away from the tendon and direct it through the strap instead. This may help relieve pain. •iontophoresis. This therapy involves spreading a corticosteroid medicine on your skin and then using a device that delivers a low electrical charge to push the medication through your skin. •platelet-rich plasma injection. This type of injection has been tried in some people with chronic patellar tendon problems. Studies are ongoing. It is hoped the injections might promote new tissue formation and help heal tendon damage. •probably your stamina would've gone down due to over use of the joints and the metabolic activity is more due to running. You need to consume good protein diet so that your body will act as a reservoir. It will help you to fight against rather than affecting one particular area of your body for eg. Knee joint. For knee ligament pain or inflammation you need to keep ice which will help you to prevent the inflammation progressing further. •patellofemoral pain syndrome •usually fully relieved with simple measures or physical therapy. It may recur, however, if you do not make adjustments to your training routine or activity level. It is essential to maintain appropriate conditioning of the muscles around the knee, particularly the quadriceps and the hamstrings. •there are additional steps that you can take to prevent recurrence of patellofemoral •they include: •wearing shoes appropriate to your activities •warming up thoroughly before physical activity •incorporating stretching and flexibility exercises for the quadriceps and hamstrings into your warm-up routine, and stretching after physical activity •increasing training gradually •reducing any activity that has hurt your knees in the past •maintaining a healthy body weight to avoid overstressing your knees •joints, ie. In the upper limbs if the pain is present in the fingers/wrist and in the lower limbs it the pain is present in the toes/ ankle, then we shall definitely say it is rheumatic arthritis. •if your proximal joints (ie. Shoulder, hip & knee has pain) then you can pour hot (warm) water in that area to reduce the inflammation. If you have pain in the distal joints ie. Wrist, fingers, ankle, toes then you can wear either elbow brace or wrist brace which will help you to feel warm and very protective. And also immerse the distal joints in the hot water tub which will help you to reduce the pain. •knee pain during driving or watching movie. •it might due to lack of movements in the knee while the joints are immobilized during driving and while watching movies. It is important that you need to have movements in and around the knee so that the blood flow will not be disturbed. •knee ligament laxity•if you have problem in your legs then it might be due to ligament laxity where your legs would become very weak due to the old ligament injury and that should be treated immediately. •wear knee cap so that you will feel firm while walking or climbing stairs.•this is a general strain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, if pain still persists you can stretch your body by twisting the waist on both sides how we used to do in the school drill similarly you can try! one time you can do hot water fermentation that would help to reduce the muscle strain. •legs becoming numb and also pain is there when the patient walks for 10-15 minutes?•it looks like you are anaemic. If you feel that the legs are becoming numb then keep your legs warm which is important, probably you can wear mcr chappals inside the house/ socks inside the house. Put a door mat when ever you sit so that you will feel comfortable. Also pour warm water in the legs which would help you to get better circulation. •knee pain. If you are overweight, losing weight will also help to reduce pressure on your knee. Knee pain this is a general knee pain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, it looks like you are is important to check that.

If you have back pain after you sit for long hours then it is due to your haemoglobin levels as it is important to check that. Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having back / leg pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for back pain. It looks like you are anaemic. And also you have to check with your vitamin and calcium, if the bones are weak then automatically the pain gets triggered more as there is less severity of the painbe strengthened 1.resisted terminal knee extension: make a loop with a piece of elastic tubing by tying a knot in both ends. Close the knot in a door at knee height. Step into the loop with your injured leg so the tubing is around the back of your knee. Lift the other foot off the ground and hold onto a chair for balance, if needed. Bend the knee with tubing about 45 degrees. Slowly straighten your leg, keeping your thigh muscle tight as you do this. Repeat 15 times. Do 2 sets of 15. If you need an easier way to do this, stand on both legs for better support while you do the exercise. 2•standing calf stretch: stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall at about eye level. Keep as arthritis is very common that you get generally bilaterally. Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone •stretching exercises. Regular, steady stretching exercises can reduce muscle spasm and help lengthen the muscle-tendon unit. Don't bounce during your stretch. 3•strengthening exercises. Weak thigh muscles contribute to the strain on your patellar tendon. Exercises that involve lowering your leg very slowly after extending it can be particularly helpful, as can exercises that strengthen all of the leg muscles in combination, such as a leg press.•this is a general knee pain and for this you can follow these measures: one keep a pillow right under the knee while sleeping, next is you can keep ice in the painful area for about 5--10 minutes, it looks like you are is important to check that.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query, In long standing diabetes peripheral neuropathy is a commonly occurring complication. This is particularly seen if the blood glucose control is not good enough. Plus it is observed even when there is a fairly well controlled diabetes. Since there is no mention of your blood glucose levels and HbA1c%, it is not possible to know how well is the condition controlled. Tramadol does help in giving some pain relief. But there are some other drugs like Gabapentine and Pragabalin which could be useful. But most important is strict blood glucose control with fasting < 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and notice that you do have multiple issues. In addition your BMI is 29 kgs/Sq Meter, which is very close to grade 1 obesity. This itself is a major contributor for improper control of diabetes and high BP. Plus it is possible that due uncontrolled hypothyroidism there is excess weight gain. Your ideal weight should be around 59 kgs, as against that you are now 79 kgs (20 kgs excess). When one is on adequate dosage of levothyroxine TSH is usually maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at that all the symptoms are well in check. Since there is no mention of details of glucose levels like fasting, PP & HbA1c%, it is difficult to comment. A level in the range of 325 mg is too high, suggestive of totally uncontrolled diabetes. Which means there is an urgent need at updating the drug treatment, plus giving a serious look at diet and exercise and weight control. Even BP will be well controlled when there is weight reduction, plus initially there is again a need for adding some suitable drug. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no drugs can be prescribed. In case you are looking at online help, then please come in a private conversation (paid consultation) with following details: fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, present dietary pattern in detail, extent of daily exercise being done, BP readings, lipid profile, serum creatinine and urea levels, then I will be able to give specific guidance and even prescribe the necessary drugs if required. Otherwise, please get in touch with your physician or diabetologist and get the treatment upgraded. A stricter control of all the conditions is essential to postpone or prevent long term complications of these underlying conditions. Thanks.

Go for angioplasty don't take any risk because it's the complicated situation. If % of blockage is more so don't go alternative things. If less then 30% so you can think about it.
