I am feeling pain in the right knee joint. the pain is felt starting from lower back spine , then in right kneew joint, then in the muscles below the knee join and in the foot . Also on movement of the knee , bending or unfolding or folding, a sound like tuk is heard. I had an x-ray which is stating that possible loose calcific opacity in the joint. Please let me know is this is a serious problem, can this lead to arthritis or is this the start of the arthritis. Is there any permanenet treament to get rid of this and can this be permanently cured. I am very much worried about the problem, please help me on this. thanks.

Hi, Yes if you had only laminectomy then it might have been possible for you to go a little earlier(around 2 weeks) to your usual activities but when you have spine fusion to then you actually have to wait a little longer (around 6-8 weeks ) is the average resting resting period. Infact only to realize that your back pain has reduced, it will take around 3-4 weeks. If you had the same pain, that is enough a message for you that it is not the right time to come back to your routine. It also dep ...

Hi, Most common cause of small height is inherited from parents,but since your parents have a good height i would recommend you to get your hormonal tests like growth hormone or consult an endocrinologist because they might be really helpful to you,since your height is to small as compared to your parents. The problem can also be related to your spine but spine can never make such a big difference to your height. The tablet you are taking is fine and can be taken for a few months,you should avo ...

I changed the doctor and he given me the isotretinol for 2 months and given vitamin A and D combination for 4 months which improved my condition alot. Now I am taking a dosage of 6000 IU Vit A and 1000 IU Vit D once for every 3days.

All of my wisdom teeth came in straight when I was about 21 except for one. It would come in and go back down and then repeat. They never gave me any pain and there was room for them. Well the one tooth that would appear and go back has came back in again. I noticed it is badly decayed I guess from being under the gum. Since it has come in, I have been fighting brain fog, slight dizziness , and slight nausea. I've made an appointment with my dentist. But was curious if these symptoms could be from this decaying tooth.

dizziness ,nausea ,brain fog does not occur due to dental caries..if there is any abcess formation relating peri apical region it causes pain in that region and can also cause referred pain ... it is prefered to under go impaction done for the tooth as the decay wisdom tooth effects the teeth adjusent to it which is sound ..,,, ...
