The conservative management would be to keep ice in that inflamed area during one time in a day and also to sit in a hot water bowl where the penetration of the heat would help to reduce the inflammation. To break that fatigue it is advisable to drink or eat protein and mineral food which would be a reservoir for you to store the energy. . And also you can check with your calcium & vitamin levels in your body by consulting a general physician. You can also improve the protein diet in your bo...more

At present no permanent cure for ankylosing spondylosis. There are newer drugs but you need to select drugs carefully as many have side effects. Preventing or controling further damage is important. Swimming walking yoga bhujangasan is important.

My wife is 30 years old and she has AVN in her right hip. 3years back we meet Dr. he had informed us that its deteriorated to Arthritis and we should do the hip replacement surgery when the pain will get unbearable. My wife is against the surgery. Off late the pain has increased and she has started to limp more. Are there any medicine which she can take to over come this pain? Is there any way around without the surgery?

If her hip is bad its best to get surgery for long term. More you delay it more difficult surgery can get. Also with whatever medicines you take you will never get relief as much as surgery. She will be in continuous pain and it will affect her life. Better to get one time job and finish it.

Hello, please follow the doctor prescribed medicine. Which controls the diabetics and will not allow you increase. But along with medication, you need to concentrate on food also.

Asked for male, 17 years old from Allahabad

My right knee is swollen and it got fluid inside it. It's been 4 months when I first consulted with a doctor, took his medicines for 2 and half months but nothing got better, then I consulted another doctor and he prescribed me some test like hla b27 and it's negative, got vitamin b12 deficiency it's 190. He's also unable to tell what's the exact problem, currently in prayagraj and done with my mri and the results are nothing it's just my knee is swollen and that's why it's filled with the fluid. The second doctor took the water outside from my knee 2 times in a day (64 ml and 32 ml ), with the help of an injection, the problematic fact is that as soon the doctor took the fluid out, it got filled within just 10 mins. The third doctor also did the same yesterday in pryagraj after watching my mri results but nothing helped, the condition is getting worse. I got maybe every test reports a doctor needs and I just want the right medication, please help.

Sir, I smoke regularly, and my doctor prescribed me indocap 25 for hip pain. Can I take this medicine.

Dr. Subhajit Maji

Avoid smoking altogether. It may be causing your hip pain in the first place. Taking indomethacin in smoker has increased chances of gastric bleeding.

It looks like you are anaemic. If you have shin and hip pain as well as neck sprain 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 shin pain/ hip pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for such pain.

Good morning, of recent I realized that after ejaculating I get to feel pain in my upper right at the hip joint close to the groin area. It feels like the pain is coming from a vain or something. And at times this pain spreads to my right thigh and leg. I have done culture and test but nothing was found, I was placed on strong antibiotic injections for wide range of of infection, still the pain is there, if I happen to cum twice in a day I will almost be limping on my right leg because of the pain which spreads from my heap socket down to my feet. Thanks for feed back sir.

Asked for male, 29 years old from Nagpur

The part just above my hips is paining. I can feel the tailbone through the skin. I've searched on google the possible things it could be. I think it's tailbone/coccyx pain. Actually I have this from a couple of years but it is occasional and only pains a bit for a couple of days and then it's fine for a few months and then pain again. This pain is tolerable. But this time it's paining very much from a couple of days so far as it's making it quite difficult to sit or sleep or even walk. Please suggest some fast and effective remedy.
