Pneumothorax Questions

Hello,
1. The diagnosis seems to be correct and you will improve gradually, the kind of problem you are having is well known and requires no surgery. You have to wait for some time and take pain killers for reducing the pain. Sometimes overvigorous physiotherapy can also cause pain, if possible you can take a break from physiotherapy for 1 week and then gradually restart it. The foot drop will recover though it may take time. The best indicatin of recovery is ongoing improvement

Good evening
ejection fraction above 60% is ok for wait. But as soon as situations are normal replacement of aortic valve should be done.
Thank you.

Dear lybrate-user ji
carotid artery has oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors in it. It suppolies blood to the head and neck area. If blood is cut off, the person may faint and even die. Kindly do not try anything funny on anyone.

They both are pretty much B complex vitamins. They are psychological medications. So nothing much to worry. Just take any of the above tab .

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In patients with diabetes peripheral neuropathy does develop. But mostly symptoms are quite manageable. However, if diabetes is not well controlled, then the severity can be bad. In your case, there is no mention of current glucose levels and hba1c% as well as lipid profile, bp.

As per your description, you might get relief with biologics, however that is a costly treatment. In that case you can go to govt hospitals and ask for help from charitable trusts or pm funds or cm funds. There is one cheap drug available but its toxicity profile is high, so it had to be used very cautiously. I hope you find your way to pain free life.

You r b27 positive but do you have any stiffness in back. If not then good. My suggestion to you will be do daily back cervical hip exercise so they are flexible (see a physiotherapist doctor). In hla b27 exercise only helps to slow down the illness. Ayurvedic medicine I have no experience so can't comment, also I have come across no ayurvedic doctor claiming to cure you completely in hla b27
in case your condition worsens then see an orthopedic consultant near you to help you better.

Hi, please get a proper evaluation done for the kidney stone size and location. You may take my appointment for the same. Thanks.

Hi lybrate-user, ankylosing spondylitis is unfortunately a disease which is disabling if not controlled. However,if well controlled you can have a normal and healthy life. Answering your question, all nsaids have potential side effects and unfortunately you cannot take them all your life without any side effects. There are new treatments which are alternatives to nsaids. Do get in touch do discuss your symptoms further so that I can help.
