Osteoarthritis lower leg
Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis lower leg
osteoarthritis
My knee and lower leg have been in pain for a few months now. I believe the pain is from jogging and putting too much pressure on my leg in general. It hurts mostly when I walk or put pressure on it. Resting my leg and taking naproxen and ibprofen to reduce inflammation does not seem to be healing it. Is it possible that this injury will require surgery? What should I do?
For about a month I have had a redness on the lower right side of my right leg and ankle. There is NO pain,swelling or itching just the redness. My thoughts are that it could be from the shower cleaner spray that I had been using. I am a 63 year old male with osteoarthritis in the right hip. I have made an appointment to see a dermatologist but that is not until March 1st. Is it safe to wait another month for that appointment ? Thank you for your answers.
Pain in the buttocks radiating into the thigh and upper part of calf could be due to damage to the nerves, strained muscles, obstructed blood supply to the muscles of the lower limb and also due to certain degenerative diseases in the bones.
In your case, as it is already diagnosed as osteoarthritis, there is a possibility of increased inflammation in the hip joint, that could happen due to stress, infection etc.
My question is whether anyone can tell me if osteoarthritis in the lower spine can cause grabbing, debilitating pain that causes the patient to cry out it is so severe. These pains act like pinched nerves, but MRS and Neurological testing shows no nerve damage from the spine. The regular arthritis pain increases gradually when the patient is walking and prevents walking altogether after about 15 yards. The grabbing pain is additional to the regular pain. The only relief for the pain is sitting.
It could also be associated with skin infections, uric acid, broken leg, Osteoarthritis and such others. You may try home remedies before considering to visit a doctor.
This is what my MRI findings said and I do not understand. Can anyone help me? This is all because my right leg has been in severe continuous pain for over 3 years and I have to stand to do my job. I need to get rid of this, I cannot do any walking anymore or pretty much anything else. Anyway, here are the findings:
"Impression: Mild multilevel lower lumbar spondylosis and lower lumbar facet
osteoarthritis as detailed below. No canal or foraminal stenosis.
it is like hot flashes sweats then cold. Very very cold feet and lower legs. Some days feel like rheumitoid but right arm weak and left leg. Have had many illnesses all my life. Someone who has same symptoms and could not get diagnosed finally was with Morgans disease. Could you please tell me if possible, what it is and how to get it diagnosed. Or any other possibility of what they have not tested for. I was born low birth wt and breech as well as blu.

Had a laminectomy in Oct. of 2005 on my lower back. What would cause a sudden loss of feeling in both legs? Has happened twice, once in 2008, and yesterday. Comes on in a split second, long enough to fall down, and feeling comes back almost instantly. Afterwards, my back muscles have a somewhat shaky or weak feeling for a few hours. Have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
/ I knew my condition was bad b/c of the amount of pain I am in but wasn't expecting that especially @ 32 with a 4 yr old and 7 month old!! Anyways, he adviced pain meds and synvisc-one injections until we couldn't control the pain enough. I tried the injections. I won't lie the are a bit painful. My right one was just uncomfortable. The left one hurt way worse. I have no idea why but it even swelled up and I had to stay off it about 24 hours b/c of all the fluid on it.
i was also wondering about the osteoarthritis as my dr told me that i have severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the lower spine (I forgot the numbers), hips, left shoulder and both feet. I had major surgery last summer and mesh was used to attach part of my bowel to my spine. My dr figures that this may have jump-started the arthritis issues. Currently i have probs walking, bending and overall it hurts to be on my feet for more than 20 mins at a time.
Do you have access to a gym? Or is this for at home exercises without any equipment?
I have Osteoarthritis in both knees and had surgery awhile ago. What can I do for exercise other than walking, which I do every day at work etc. Please help if you can, thank you.
Keep your core tight as you step forward with your left leg and slowly lower your lower body until your front knee is bent 90 degrees. Pause, then push yourself back to the starting position quickly. Complete 10 reps on your left side then 10 reps on your right—that's 1 set.
Make It Easier: If you feel wobbly with dumbbells, try placing your hands on your hips instead. Focus on keeping your core contracted to stay straight, and maintain your balance.
I've had mri's of my spine and shows osteoarthritis with bone spurs in cervical thoracic and lumbar. This was done in 2007 (i was 35), now i have this horrible tendonitis in both wrists and i'm on prednisone. Could this be related to the arthritis? i'm seeing an ortho but he doesn't know about the osteoarthritis (i was just rereading my reports and it jumped out at me). What should i expect with this diagnosis?
ve had very severe leg pain, especially the left leg. If I bend my left leg (especially for kneeling or getting in and out of bed or a car) the back of my leg behind the knee hurts terribly. I also have severe pain in the right groin/pelvic area, which also makes things like getting out of bed very difficult.
My worst complaint though is I have almost zero tolerance for standing or walking, as my lower back hurts so bad when I do.
