Treatment is a Good Physiotherapy in you case.

Treatment and Recovery time depends upon the severity of injury.

You didn't mention your complain and difficult in Activities Of Daily Living ( ADL ) if any.

Usually it takes three to four weeks for maximum and optimal recovery provided proper rehabilitation is done.

Rehabilitation = Pain Relief + Strengthening + Proprioception training.

Good luck.

Asked for male, 18 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.

My right hand fingers got sprained while lifting heavy objects. Have no sensation. Using flexabenz zel. I do not want to take pain killers. Please advise.

You need to use finger splint as a method of skin traction (the most effective method for jammed fingers). No need to take painkillers, it will subside itself. For getting back the sensation you need to opt for some ayurvedic neuropromotive remedies. You may consult me privately or whatsapp on mobile for a proper ayurvedic consultation.

Hi lybrate user ,The most common causes include injury, arthritis and normal wear and tear. Depending on the cause, you may feel pain or stiffness anywhere around the ankle. Your ankle may also swell, and you may not be able to put any weight on it. Usually, ankle pain gets better with rest, ice and over-the-counter pain medications.

thanks and regards

It looks like you are anaemic. 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 energy during any ...more

Asked for male, 23 years old from Chennai

I am 23 years old male working in it. I am going to gym for 1 year. Suddenly last week my wrist was paining. After 1 week now I am getting sharp pain while closing my hand or doing activities like pressing ball, closing tap. Something (tendon) is moving visibly and causing the pain. Pain killer is helping but not getting cured. Kept ultrasound for 4 days still having pain. I am resting for week with ice and heat therapy. Still pain is there. The main thing is something is moving in wrist. Is it any major issue (like tentonits or carpel tunnel syndrome). Is it curable without surgery. When can I lift weights.

Hi, I am 36 years old. Currently I am having swelling in both my ankles almost all the time. Also my weight suddenly increased like 3-4 kgs in a week. What could be the reason. I have checked my blood and everything seems to be normal. I have done abdomen scan, that also seems to be normal. I did doppler test to rule out varicose veins. But even in spite of all tests being normal, the swelling and weight gain is not reducing. Please help.

1. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water per day. 2. Prop your feet on cushions, pillows, or even things like phone books, when you sleep. Also try elevating your feet several times a day as well. 3. Get moving- if you sit or stand in one area for a long period of time (like at work), this can lead to swollen feet. Try to move a little bit each hour, even if it’s a walk to the break room, a walk around the block at lunch, flexing your knees and ankles, or a lap around the office.
4. Make some dieta...more

I am a 22 year old male. I had a mid-shaft oblique humerus fracture which is fixed by ss plate implant. After 10 weeks post surgery, I met with my surgeon and he said that your bone is 90% united by looking at the x-ray. I can still see an oblique gap in my humerus. I have been taking calcium supplements since surgery. Was the gap supposed to fill within 12 weeks?
