The Changes seen in your musculoskeletal system are age related symptoms, Cartilage are Outer lining of the bones which in your case as you say, its broken, please understand, Cartilage cannot be regrown naturally as other tissue in the body.

Hello Doctor this is Emmanuel Nice to hear from you, actually my skin is not extremely very dark but compared to a 'White skin' it is, I'm not very pinkish, but I'm fairer than the other dark people. If I come under bright lights I look fair I don't know what medicine changed my skin colour as I'm not good at medicine. My toes, feet, neck, Hands and other private parts like me penis are also dark, I've tried the Vitamin C Calamine lotion Multani mitti allovera face wash drank water used sunscreens accordingly these only work to certain extent and I feel these are meant for people who are looking to improve their complexion and not to restore the original skin colour. I actually look like a South Asain. It took some time may be about a month my complexion became dark. I don't have any other symptoms except for skin darkening and don't have any dark spots either Please advice me with the best medicine. Thanks & Regards Emmanuel

Hi Emmanuel, Thank you for the photographs. The areas you mention - hands, feet, penis and scrotum are naturally darker than the rest of the body. The reasons for this are different. The penis and scrotum are darker because they have a very rich blood supply and this makes the skin darker. No treatment is required or indeed effective here. The hands and feet are darker because of tanning and also racial pigmentation (acral darkening). This can be treated with measures I will detail below but pl ...

Received an IV just over 3weeks ago in my wrist (ouch). In the last 7days or so my entire arm is in pain, with my vein protruding along the forearm, making a slight bruise along the path of the vessel. I notified the doctors office asap, and was told by a nurse that I should use a warm compress and "move the vein around." Um no thank you- not comfortable with that. So here I am only a few days after being reassure that I am OK, but NOW both my hands/fingers are also very cold with my left foot + toes extremely numb and discolored. Clearly an issue, but it's 330am and I'm desperately seeking some piece of mind so I can finally sleep for a few hours. Definitely going to the clinic in the morning tho!!!! Please help

Hi I'm 26yrs old. Unmarried. I feel some nerve burning or itching sensation in hands, fingers and legs below knees and toes. I feel pain too. This has been for long days. I feel more in left hand and left leg more than right. My hands shake when I hold a tea cup or something. My legs too shake when I ride a bike. So I cant drink a tea infront of others. I get tired soon when I work. Does this nerve problem comes due to cancer or HIV? I'm very much afraid. can I get my nerves and hand shaking well? I'm very afraid to get marry due to this. I feel I cant have good sexual intercourse with my partner and healthy baby after marriage. Pls guide me to get me well.

Hi, If you are having had shakiness only in front of other people then it is simply due to under confidence or anxiety or fear of a big crowd for this you should consult some psychaitrist or pschologist and not neurologist. For shakiness of leg , it could be the same reason under confidence or anxiety or may be any kind of addiction so you will have to give up all addiction if any , like smoking , alcohol or drugs. Sex should not be a problem if you are having erection , but if you are having ...

This is not a very common complaint and no it is normal so i would say if its significant problem then you should get it checked up to a neurologist or a dermatologist. ...
