U can do the following exercises for knee pain url/articles/311138. Php follow these dos and don’ts to help your knees feel their best. 1. Don’t rest too much. Too much rest can weaken your muscles, which can worsen joint pain. Find an exercise program that is safe for your knees and stick with it. If you're not sure which motions are safe or how much you can do, talk with your doctor or a physical therapist. 2. Do exercise. Cardio exercises strengthen the muscles that support your knee and increase flexibility. Weight training and stretching do, too. For cardio, some good choices include walking, swimming, water aerobics, stationary cycling, and elliptical machines. 3. Don’t risk a fall. A painful or unstable knee can make a fall more likely, which can cause more knee damage. 4. Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (rice) is good for knee pain caused by a minor injury or an arthritis flare. Give your knee some rest, apply ice to reduce swelling, wear a compressive bandage, and keep your knee elevated. 5. Don't overlook your weight. If you're overweight, losing weight reduces the stress on your knee. You don’t even need to get to your "ideal" weight. Smaller changes still make a difference. 6. Don't be shy about using a walking aid. A crutch or cane can take the stress off of your knee. Knee splints and braces can also help you stay stable. 7. Don't let your shoes make matters worse. Cushioned insoles can reduce stress on your knees. 8. Do play with temperature. For the first 48 to 72 hours after a knee injury, use a cold pack to ease swelling and numb the pain. A plastic bag of ice or frozen peas works well. Use it for 15 to 20 minutes three or four times a day. Wrap your ice pack in a towel to be kind to your skin. After that, you can heat things up with a warm bath, heating pad, or warm towel for 15 to 20 minutes, three or four times a day. 9. Don’t jar your joint (s). High-impact exercises can further injure painful knees. Avoid jarring exercises such as running, jumping, and kickboxing. Also avoid doing exercises such as lunges and deep squats that put a lot of stress on your knees. These can worsen pain and, if not done correctly, cause injury. Homeopathy is a very effective for this problem n has very encouraging results. And homeopathic medicines are safe and do not have any side effects at all.

Back pain back pain exercises; kindly do these exercises. Back pain is described as acute or chronic based on how long you’ve had it. Acute pain lasts days to weeks, subacute pain lasts six weeks to three months, and chronic pain lasts longer than three months. Things that make it better or worse back pain may get worse with movement or if you sit or stand for a long time. It may get better if you switch positions or walk around. Other symptoms you may experience with back pain include: •the painful spot looking swollen and feeling tender to the touch •a muscle spasm in the painful area •numbness or weakness in one or both of your legs (if the pain is due to a nerve issue) if you find you have back pain and can’t hold your urine or bowel movements, something is pressing on your spinal nerves, and you should be evaluated immediately. This condition, called cauda equina syndrome, can cause severe long-term damage to your spinal nerves if not treated right away. 6 imbalances that cause pain—and how to fix them "pain is a medical condition and a medical issue, says brett jones, owner of applied strength in pittsburgh who is certified for the functional movement screen, a system of tests and cor rective exercise strategies. "it's a warning sign. The pain is there to tell you something's wrong. And that warning sign could be more serious than "you're going too hard. Jones and the other coaches consulted for this piece all had a horror story to tell-when pain in a client meant a more serious condition such as a nerve issue, thyroid issue, or even cancer. The point: if you experience regular pain while exercising-or when you're not-go to the doctor. If you've been cleared by a doc and you're still feeling discomfort, try these simple tests to see what's truly causing the pain-it could be related to an imbalance in a completely different part of your body. The good news: with these drills, stretches, and corrective exercises, you may be able to fix them-no doctors necessary. 1. Standing extension how it helps – this standing extension helps reverse what you do on a daily basis (hunching)… since most bulging discs and herniated discs are caused by poor posture and repeated flexion of the spine (esp bending fwd in bad posture), this stretch helps push the disc back to neutral position. How to do it – begin this exercise by standing up with good posture. Now take both hands and place them on both sides of your lower back. Now with the help of your hands push your pelvis forward and extend your spine back. Follow the extension with your neck so that you end up facing the ceiling. – start with 10 repetitions and do 2-3 sets. – this one is particularly great to do when you need a break from sitting at your desk. ** this should not cause any pain. If you feel pain during it is not a good one for you. In that case, stop and try some of the other exercises below instead. 2. Half cobra pose (prone lumbar extension) how it helps – the half cobra stretch helps to push the disc material back towards the center of the inter-vertebral disc to allow for improved healing. The goal of repeated lower back extension is the “centralization of symptoms”, which basically means pain that travels down the affected leg to the foot should come back up closer to the low back – which will in turn alleviate the pain. How to do it – begin this exercise by lying on your stomach (prone position) and slowly prop yourself up on your elbows while keeping your hips in contact with the floor. – hold the prop-up position for 10-15 seconds before returning to the prone position (lying face down). – gradually increase to holding the end position for 30 seconds. Aim for 10 repetitions of this stretch. ** initially, you may not be able to tolerate this position very well, so make sure you start slowly and carefully. If there’s any pain, try a different exercise instead. 3. Full cobra pose (advanced extension) how it helps – this stretch is based on the same principle as the half cobra pose above. This advanced extension helps to push disc material back towards the center of the intervertebral disc, with the goal of alleviating pain symptoms. How to do it – once you’ve mastered the half cobra pose, you can increase the difficulty by moving to the advanced version of this stretch. Begin this exercise by lying on your stomach in the prone position (lying facing down) and slowly press up on your hands while keeping your pelvis in contact.

It may be. So for every hypothyroid patient it's advices to repeat tsh value every 3 to 4 months. Other than that vitamin d deficiency is another major cause causing back pain. Do a vitamin d3 25 (oh) and a x tay for lumbar spine ap and lateral view along with tsh.

Burning pain or tingling sensation in hands or feet if you are suffering from burning pain or tingling sensation in hands or feet; sharp shooting pain in legs; numbness in hands or feet, then you might be suffering from neuropathic pain what is a neuropathic pain? Neuropathic pain is a special type of pain which occurs when there is damage to nerve fibres, which produces tingling or burning type of pain. It is of two types: 1. Peripheral neuropathic pain: it occurs when there is an injury to peripheral nerve fibres (a-delta or c-fibers) which carries pain sensation to the brain (thalamus) for interpretation. 2. Central neuropathic pain: it occurs due to sensitization of central pain interpreting mechanisms (thalamus) to falsely feel pain when peripheral nerve fibres are no longer sending pain impulses to them. Worldwide-estimates of the prevalence of neuropathic pain is 7% i.e. 7 persons out of 100 people are suffering from different types of neuropathic pain. Symptoms: •tingling sensation or feeling of ants crawling under skin •burning sensation •sharp shooting pain or electric current-like sensation •stabbing pain •dull pain with numbness or heaviness reasons for neuropathic pain: •diabetes mellitus: most common cause worldwide due to uncontrolled blood sugar levels, causing damage to nerve fibres. •alcohol consumption/cigarette smoking: damage to nerve fibres or damage to blood vessels supplying nerve fibres. Burning pain in feet •neck pain/low back pain/glutei pain •vit. B12 deficiency •chemotherapy for cancer patients •post-herpes virus infection •post-spine surgery •post-amputation •diseases like spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, hiv, lead toxicity, etc. Special neuropathies: 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome: tingling, burning sensation in hand which occurs due to compression of median nerve in the wrist area. It occurs in women especially due to pregnancy, hypothyroidism, diabetes, etc. And in men due to improper position of the wrist during working on computers. 2. Cervical radiculopathy: pain in neck and shoulder region (which increases with neck movements), along with sharpshooting pain radiating from neck to hand occurs in cases of cervical radiculopathy. This is due to compression of the cervical nerve root by disc prolapse, facet subluxation, muscle spasm, trauma, etc. 3. Lumbar radiculopathy: pain in lower back or glutei region with sharp shooting pain radiating from hip to leg/foot region, occurs in cases of lumbar radiculopathy or sciatica. This is due to compression of lumbar nerve root or sciatic nerve by disc prolapse, facet joint, trauma, hypertrophied ligamentumflavum, piriformis syndrome, etc. 4. Meralgiaparesthetica: tingling or burning sensation in front of the thigh, occurs due to compression of lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh, near waist region. Usual causes are tight or constrictive clothing at waist region, prolonged sitting, protuberant abdomen, etc. Prevention of neuropathy: 1. Avoid alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. 2. Maintain ideal body weight/bmi (body mass index) 3. Lifestyle changes: daily exercises (>30 minutes per day) or brisk walking or swimming; avoid prolonged sitting or standing (>30 minutes). 4. Food/diet should have following components: •green vegetables e.g. Spinach, fenugreek leaves (methi), radish, etc •coloured vegetables e.g. Tomato, carrot, capsicum (green/red), ladies-finger (bhindi) •milk products e.g. Milk, buttermilk, curd, cheese (paneer) •protein-rich foods e.g. Fish, egg, chicken, pulses (daal) •fibre-rich foods e.g. Bran, oats, brown-rice •fruits e.g. Apple, orange, guava, papaya, pomegranate, berries 5. Blood sugar control (in diabetics) 6. Care of feet: •regular inspection of feet (with mirror) •comfortable, well-fitted shoes •regular consultation with a podiatrist •treatment of wounds, foot deformities 7. Adequate sleep 8. Warm water bath (increases blood flow to the affected area) treatment: •consult pain medicine specialist. •neuropathic painkillers e.g. Amitriptyline, pregabalin, gabapentin, capsaicin, duloxetine, etc. •vit. B12 supplements, anti-oxidants, multi-vitamins. •transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tens) •acupuncture •relaxation and yoga •neural prolotherapy.

In that case, stop and try some of the other exercises instead. 4. Cat-cow how it helps – this is one of the most popular herniated disc exercises. By combining two yoga poses, the cat-cow stretch can help to relieve pressure on the herniated disc by opening the intervertebral disc space. It also improves mobility of the spine, which may help to relieve disc herniation pain and speed recovery. How to do it – begin this stretch on your hands and knees. Inhale and let your stomach “drop” towards the floor as you look up towards the ceiling. – follow this by exhaling and slowly rounding your spine while pressing into the floor with your hands and slightly curving your neck to look at your feet. – aim for 10 repetitions of this stretch and do 2-3 sets. How it helps – this exercise will help strengthen and stabilize your lower back and deep spine muscles. This will help you to maintain a good posture and avoid future episodes of herniated discs. How to do it: – begin on your hands and knees with your hands positioned under your shoulders and knees positioned under your hips. – raise your left arm and reach it forwards until it is aligned with your torso; at the same time, kick your right leg backwards until is it aligned with your torso. – hold this position for 2-3 seconds before slowly returning to the starting position. – repeat with your right arm and left leg. – alternate sides for 10 repetitions and do 2-3 sets. ** ensure that your head, neck, and back maintain a neutral alignment to minimize stress on your neck. 5.plank: how it helps – just like the bird dog, this “core” exercise will help bring your pelvis into right position by strengthening the deep spinal muscles and glutes (butt muscles). How to do it – begin lying on your stomach with your forearms against the mat. – engage your core and lift your body so that you are resting on your forearms and toes. – start with 10 second holds and work up to 30 second holds, do 2-3 sets. ** ensure to keep your back straight throughout the entire exercise – spine in neutral position. Thoracic expansion if you’re using a chair, sit facing forward and allow your upper body to fall over the back of the chair. Extend your arms above your head for a deeper stretch. Hold either position for 10 seconds.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing these symptoms. There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling in the hands and legs, as well as muscle aches and pains. Some possible causes include nerve damage, circulation problems, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and neurological conditions. Given your low vitamin d levels, it's possible that your symptoms could be related to this deficiency. Vitamin d is important for maintaining healthy nerves and muscles, among other functions. However, it's also possible that there could be other underlying causes contributing to your symptoms. I would recommend that you speak with your doctor about your symptoms, as they can help determine the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment. They may want to perform additional tests or refer you to a specialist, depending on their initial evaluation. In the meantime, it may be helpful to focus on maintaining a healthy diet and getting adequate rest and exercise. You could also consider taking a vitamin d supplement, if your healthcare provider recommends it.
