Asked for male, 35 years old from Bangalore

Hi I met with an accident on april 2016. I injured my knee and foot in the process. I neglected it as a small injury. With each day progressing I started to experience more pain. My knee used to pain and my foot used to pain. I used to get cramps on my thighs. I sensed weakness totally on my legs. I consulted a doctor. The doctor advised me for a MRI scan. After seeing the report the doctor told me that I have a minor dislocation of bones near my knee due to patellar injury and I am suffering from chondromalacia patella grade 3.he advice me to a vitamin d test. By seeing the report he told me I have vitamin d deficiency and prescribed me cholecalciferol and some leg exercises. I am still not satisfied with diagnosis. The pain hasn't had vanished. I feel like a prick piercing from inside of my knee when I walk. I am confused. Please suggest me how can I recover completely Regards.

MRI of Knee for My 18 years old cousin shows below findings :- 1. Patchy Areas of altered signal intensity with hypo-intense on T1/T2 and Hyperintensity on STIR seen involving distal femur. 2. Joint effusion seen in retro patellar, suprapatellar recess and tibia-femoral compartment. Is there something to worry? What may be reasons for this effusion and knee pain? Should we go for surgery or can it be cured with medication? Request for advise.

Asked for male, 66 years old from Calicut

I had a scooter accident on 25th march 2018 and I was not able to stand properly on my left leg. It was only after a crape bandage was put around my left knee could I stand or walk. I had to take rest for two days and there was no inflammation or swelling and the pain also got subjugated. A few days after this there was pain in the inner side of my left knee bend and it spread to my feet a point just at the joint of little finger and ring finger at the inner side of my left feet. Consulted a doctor and a mri was taken and the impressions are: * degenerative tear in body of lateral meniscus oblique tear in posterior horn of medial meniscus joint effusion with effusion in sprapatellar bursa bone contusion in medial patellar facet and lateral femoral condyle - possibly reduced patellar dislocation. No high grade tears in patellofemoral ligament tricompartmental osteoarthritis. I have been under treatment since april and tried allopathic and ayurvedic treatments with no reduction of the pain and also I get numbness in my left leg from feet onwards and left lumbar down words within a minute or so of my standing on my legs, which continues for two/three minutes and start disappearing, but the numbness of the feet still persists till I sit down. Once I sit, the numbness goes. Can any of your doctors help me to get the right kind of treatment. Will homoeopathy would be of any help? I have taken paracetamol injection, neuron injections, pain killers and vitamin tabs. Now I am on vibralon plus - 1/day (methyl cobalamin, alpha lipoic acid, benffaliamine, inositol, folic acid, chromium and selenium tablets) & gabazen (gabapentin tab) -1 tab at night. Kindly help me with your expert advice pl. (vijayan)

Health Query

On feb 9, I had a blow to the head from a martial arts event. I had a brief loss of consciousness, daze/confusion for the rest of the day. I was diagnosed with with concussion, which i've had 2 prior. Ct scan was done in the emergency department which showed no evidence of bleeding. On feb 12/13, I started developing more symptoms. Mainly, issues focusing with my eyes, positional headaches, vomiting, further sensitivity to light/sound, stiffness, difficulty getting words out of my mouth, and soreness. I'm mildly hypertensive, pulse is resting at 65, oxygen saturation is 99%, pupils are perrl to 3 mm, no weakness, moderate hyperflexia in bilateral patellar tendon reflexes which has always been normal for me, no gait problems aside from feeling stiff. I feel like I should be getting better instead of worse though. Do you think it's likely that I have some sort of brain bleed, or that I need to go back to the emergency department & be re-scanned? Is this stuff that can come up suddenly several days after a concussion? Thank you.

Asked for male, 23 years old from Delhi

Hi. Ten days back I had slept in a wrong position and noticed pain in my shoulder joint whenever I lift it at a particular angle. Later I went a tooth extraction where doctor gave me pain killers to relieve tooth pain. With them the shoulder pain also nullified. Recently before 2 days when I stopped my pain killers course I started noticing a pain when performing activities like head bath or wearing shirt. I approached a physiotherapist who diagnosed it as supraspinatus tendonitis. She recommended me for physio therapy for 10 days where daily session cost is quite expensive. I can use my hand normally but the problem arises only some times whenever I make abrupt motion at some particular angle. As the problem now became mild I can not decide whether to continue physio or stop it keeping in mind its expensiveness. The physiotherapist gave me dry needling in my first session and tomorrow is my second of ten sessions. Please answer me whether I can stop in middle? Is it ok to avoid those huge expenses for a mild pain? Will my condition heal naturally?

Dr. Vasuki

Dear lybrate-user
supraspinatus tendinitis gives issues in overhead activities. Strengthening exercises for a period of 4 to 6 wks coupled with moist heat therapy should take care off this issue.
Constant exercises thereafter will prevent this problem recurring.
Avoid sternous work with the shoulder affected.

Health Query

I had joint and probably tendon pain for 3 months (cannot grab things, everything hurts, sleeping on shoulder hurts, my muscles all gone, stiff in wrist and elbow, cannot run, walk, exercise as joints hurt) and at first thought it could be arthritis but I tested negative for rheumatoid factor and all and doctor said it wasn't autoimmune problem. If I am negative for rheumatoid arthritis, does that mean I don't have arthritis at all or I could have a different type of arthritis like osteoarthritis etc. Also, I was given arcoxia before test results that said was for joint pain and arthritis and it did made my joints feel better the day after consuming it, no knee, shoulder, wrist, elbow pain (maybe still a little but not as usual). If the arcoxia pills were effective then does that mean I have arthritis or tendonitis? Also they said could be because of stress and anxiety depression that I have unexplainable pains and I do feel a little stressed and anxious these days with depressive thoughts, so could be because my neurotransmitters are low but I am not sure and haven't gone to psychiatrist that doctor recommended cause I was too young for arthritis he said (19yo) so he suspected other things as my test results were also negative saying I am fine. Please, I need explanation before my body dysfunctions and falls apart and then doctors come and notice, I cannot image not being able to use my body.
