Ankle

I had a fall 6 months ago . Broke some cartage in my knee. My knee does a fast give out when I am walking. dont know what it is. Now I got told i have tendonitis of the ankle. It is so pain full. What is causing this and what can be done to help me. The doctor said I will some day need knee surgery and foot surgery to fuse all my bone toes together.

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. The knee give out fast, because your whole body weight is been carried by the weak knees while you walk, this in turn could lead to impaired gait cycle which ultimately result in pain in ankle causing tendonitis. if you take proper medication / physical a ...

I am a diabetic and about 5 years ago I borke my ankle and had medal screws put in my bones because I broke the ankle so bad. I am feeling like the medal has slipped in my foot because of the neurophathy I can not feel the pain Is there any way this could heal without surgery again.

Diabetic patients have diabetic neuropathy which can be very disabling and chronic and there is no cure as such. i need more work up and clinical details to guide you including Xrays and details of surgery and whether frature has healed or not. I personally treat these patients with ESWT/RSWT with good results so far. drugs donot help. pl refer my webiste www.**url** and see case reports peripheral neuropathy. ...

I am 62 & have osteoporosis. I hit my lower leg 3 days ago getting decorations out. No bruise or swelling but bad pain. I hit the mid of lower leg but pain goes down to ankle when I walk. Any ideas?

Hi thanks for the query. From the complaints you had explained i would first like to consider your age and osteoporosis. I advice you to visit your local orthoaedician and get an x-ray of leg to rule out any injury to bone. Some time it could be injury to the soft tissue around the bone giving pain down to the ankle. ...

I have had for a long time a very painfull and at times swollen ankle, afater falling in a rabbit hole and badly twisting the ankle took a week off from work and to be honest went back to work to soon, the ankle has over the years become more painfull and after a very busy shift on a very busy NHS ward I can hardly walk, have been many times to the Drs all they advise is give up your job and keep taking Tramadol and paracetamol I have arthritis in most joints for which I take the medication, recently the ankle has started to click in one position causing agonising pain this usually last a few minutes until the ankle unclicks, as its quote making your condition worse, What other test can I ask for , as all I get offered is x rays?

You can get X-rays done but MRI would be more informative. As per your history it seems to by soft tissue problem more than bony problem. ...

Hi, I used to feel pain from past one year in right leg , in between ankle n knee, when I sit on legs putting weight completely on one leg. I witness some muscle or Achilles tendon tear that can be felt through hand examination. However, I used to do regular physical workouts including running, now my same leg knee joint has pain. Can't walk properly, there s light swelling on right top corner of the knee cap of my right leg , viewing from my perspective. Do u think it's a ligament tear or anything that damages siverily? Kindly suggest , also I feel a sound in my ankle n knee joint , knuckle sound!

I strongly advise you to meet an Orthopaedician or Sports Medicine Consultant to assess your problem. There is high chance that you have ligament tear that could need really treatment. Regards, Dr Saseendar, Consultant Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine ...

My husband, Dr Gautam Khastgir, an Infertility Specialist in Kolkata, has been afflicted with severe joint, wrist and ankle pain for the past one and a half months. He has also been diagnosed with TB and is on ATK drugs for the past 15 days. However, his pain, instead of subsiding has flared up beyond endurance. Since he is diabetic for 12 years, the doctors here are reluctant to start him on rheumatoid arthritis drugs. Upon advice, I can send you his reports and even fly him to Bangalore to meet you in person. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Respected Mam, This is clearly not Tuberculosis as TB does not affect multiple joints. TB Arthritis is known to affect single joint only. Hence his joints are getting worse. As such he can be started on RA Medications without any issues as arthritis needs to be managed accordingly. If you can, you can bring him here. I practise in Delhi. Will stream line his treatment accordingly ...

my dad did a test for leptospirosis a week after exposure to contaminated water, the result is negative. I have read articles saying that incubation period of the bacteria is up to 3 weeks. Is it possible to become positive even if the first test is negative? 2 or 3 weeks after exposure, my dad got fever, headache, muscle pain, swollen ankle (I dont know if it's because of his gout. his uric acid result is at 420). He said that it is just flu. He had his urine test recently, color: yellow orange. transparency: slightly turbid. reaction: acidic ph 6.0. specific gravity: 1.030. sugar: negative. albumin: trace. RBC: 4-6/HPF. PUS CELL: 1-3/HPF. CAST: NONE FOUND. crystals: amorphous urates few. epithelial cells: rare. mucous threads: +++. bacteria: rare. Can this urine test result determine if he has leptospirosis?? Can this urine test result determine of his kidney is fine? What does 4-6 /hpf mean? thank you very much for your answer.

Hi, the clinical feature of your father is suspicious. Leptospirosis may sometimes present with fever and muscle pain. There is RBC in the urine which is also abnormal. I suggest you to repeat the antibody and urine test. And don't bother to visit a doctor if the fever worsen. Thanks ...
