Avatar n tn Hi, at this age the cause of knee pain are arthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, reactive arthritis, bursitis etc. As you don't have history of recent trauma, it is unlikely to be ligament or meniscus tear. Investigations like MRI, blood tests like ESR, RF, ANA etc are done to find out causes related to autoimmune diseases. Try cold compression, crepe bandage and pain killers like diclofenac etc.
Avatar f tn Hi, how old are you? Any family history of arthritis? Usually multiple joints are involved in rheumatoid arthritis, it is autoimmune disorder. Investigations like ESR, RA factor and X ray of relevant joint is undertaken. Other possibility is gout, but in gout usually single joint is involved. Please consult orthopedic surgeon.
Avatar n tn Hi Dr Ghosh My dad just came home today, and he told me that the pain is the same pain he felt while he had a gout attack in September, however, it's not on his right knee anymore. He's feeling the pain on the front area of his foot/big toe and the toe next to it. Is this still gout?
712802 tn?1274645485 For most people, gout pain usually shows up first in the joints of the big toe. However, as gout progresses, and more and more uric acid builds in the system, it has to find other joints where it can go. This means you might get gout pain in other places that can cause even more pain than that which you might feel when it is in your toe.One of the first things many do when they have gout and hip joint pain is take NSAIDS.

Avatar m tn 50years old man not aware of any medical problems complains of pain related to his joints in different places ( fingers, knee, foot ankle) it takes 2 weeks relief by ibuprofen and voltaren emulgel so the question is what is your recommendation about this case ? do you advice of some vitamins especially that he is getting older?
Avatar f tn If you click on the blue Gout at the top of this page you will see some good information. It can cause pain in the feet and legs but a lot of people suffer it in their big toes. The drug cochicine can help as well as restricting your intake of aspirin, alcohol, red meats and high fat foods.
Avatar n tn If your PCP has diagnosed you with Gout he is probably correct. Return to your physician and request more treatment. Not only should your pain be controlled....so should your symptoms. Best of luck to you. I hope you will let us know how you are doing.
Avatar n tn The episodes do not occur with drinking from what I can tell. The pain is not localized in one specific area of my knee either it is my entire knee. I experience extreme swelling with very little motion allowed if any at all. I hope that helps.
Avatar n tn Hi, It is good that xray and MRI of the knee and other tests showed good results. Was there blood test done? This will help rule out infection or presence of gout. Knee pain usually results from arthritis (rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, and gout), baker's cyst, bursitis, connective tissue disorders such as lupus, dislocation of the kneecap, iIliotibial band syndrome, infection or any trauma or abnormalities in the structures in the knee.

517981 tn?1216782018 If you notice my other posts you will see things have sucked for me lately. Gall Bladder surgery gone wrong, severe back pain which can't be repaired, MRSA what else can go wrong well Gout, last week my knee swelled up really big, I assumed I wrenched it but finally went to the dr.s she drained and luckily sent it for analysis. She was concerned about MRSA in the joint.. Today I went to the dr.s for a recheck on the MRSA and the dr.
Avatar f tn It could be a ligament or cartilage problem or displacement of the knee cap or even arthritis. There are other medical conditions that can cause knee pain. Do you suffer from gout at all, is the knee inflamed and red or just painful? I would advise you see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. Your doctor may refer you for xray. I have osteoarthritis in both knees, but my right knee is the worst.
Avatar n tn um i woke up a few day ago and also had very bad knee pain and wrist pain on the right side. i could hardly stand.but there was no swelling . I am already on a steroid for another medical issue. right now i am being tested for a muscular disease and do not have the results yet. i also have a pinching, tearing, sorta pain in my left lower abdomen alot and the doctors still dont know what that is etheir.
Avatar n tn Calcification of the menisci, known as chondrocalcinosis, is not an uncommon problem. Once calcified the menisci are more britlle and are mote likely to tear with trivial activity. The condition can also lead to an acute inflamatory reaction within the joint, similar to gout, and aptly named "pseudogout. If you do have a large collection of fluid within your knee, your orthopedist may elect to aspirate (drain) the fluid, and send the fluid to the lab for analysis.
Avatar n tn Have the possibility of the original knee swelling being gout and the pain being a kidney stone been addressed? Uric Acid can form kidney stones. Gout can occur in joints other than the big toe. I take Alopurinol to prevent Uric Acid buildup. My knee gets affected more often than my toe. When I have a kidney stone, I get referred pain in my shoulder and radiating up my neck to behind my ear.
Avatar f tn Hi there, A complete clinical examination is essential for correct diagnosis. There can fluid within the knee joint itself, or in the surrounding soft tissue. Acute injuries, anterior cruciate ligament tear, meniscal tears, ligament sprains all can lead to fluid or blood accumulation around the knee joint. If there is no history of trauma any infection in the knee joint can lead to swelling.
Avatar f tn I have been on colchicine since 7/7 and Allopurinol since 7/21. I have alot of pain in my lower back to the back of my Knee and now my fingers are hurting. My question is how long does this last and once i get the gout flareup under control will i still have the milder pain of the arthritis? I am kind of confused about this. Also at the same time -- I am now being treated for high blood pressure because my creatinine is at 1.13.
Avatar n tn tall, and about 250 pounds (in process of losing weight). He had a gout attack in September on his knee, and it was very painful for him. He went to his doctor and was diagnosed with gout. Since then, he only had one gout-like attack (not painful at all) on the toe next to his big one, and only lasted a couple of hours. He isn't complaining about pain or anything, thankfully.. but I am still worried about gout in general.
Avatar f tn Having pain in chest right side...
Avatar m tn This started 3 months ago, Knee pain that started at night worst pain ever / I went to orthopedic and he drew fluid said it was gout . Shortly after mild right side back pain that seemed to make my knee worse. Went to my Dr at home liver enzymes and cholesterol up . Suggested a low fat diet prescribed anti inflammatories . Pain in back got worse so went to Mayo Clinic , Ct scan reveled a horseshoe lesion liver . Dr said in his opinion nothing to worry about come back in 3 months .
