Avatar n tn He will most likely also be given exercises to do at home to rebuild the strength and mobility of his leg and ankle. I hope he has a speedy recovery!
Avatar n tn Why do older women sometimes have a hard time walking or leg stiffness upon arising?
Avatar f tn Yes, I would certainly suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician with the detailed MRI report, for an expert opinion. A repeat MRI would not be necessary. Meanwhile rest, leg elevation and ice-packs (if inflamed and swollen) and NSAIDS may help relieve the discomfort. You could use a crepe bandage as well to restrict mobility. Hope this is useful. Take care!
1251333 tn?1445218215 However, when I first stand up - my left leg almost buckles on me. My left leg feels like a noodle. I stager and limp for the first few steps until my leg gets going. WHY is that??? Once I "get going" - If I keep going... I can walk. If I have to stop and start again? I might stumble a little bit. It's almost like I have to get my balance again. I'll limp for a few steps and then I'll be able to walk without stumbling. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Avatar n tn I have decreased my nerve pain however I am left with this leg pain that is still thru my leg. It feels like I have no flexability when I try to stretch. My mobility is gone and it hurts so bad to stretch. My therapist says its ok to strectch now. Just wondering if anyone has been in this situation and will I get the mobility in my leg back?
Avatar f tn hi I am 31 weeks FTM and since 2 weeks ago my back,pelvis and right leg have been hurting non stop, I can't walk properly, can't turn around in bed easily and the only way to sleep without pain is with my maternity pillow (it is heaven)... I also had a prenatal massage, it was amazing but didn't help with my back pain.I feel like a broken grandma. My doctor said its normal, but she says everything is normal. Are you guys experiencing this too?
Avatar f tn It feels like my vaginal bone is broken.. I know it is not but it sure feels like it.. I mean it burns and hurts to where I am I'm severe pain.. This is my second pregnancy and I'm having twin girls.. What could it be or what can I do.. I already get up and try and walk it off but it won't help..
Avatar n tn That means before I can walk it will be 9 weeks from the injury date. All for a broken fibula and sprained deltoid ligament. I think the doctor is being extremely conservative, I need to be weight bearing to get back to work. Does this seem like a rather stiff sentence? Shouldn't it be 6 weeks from the injury date assuming normal healing occurs on the bone?
Avatar f tn It felt my leg was broken and it would not bear weight. Mobility became increasingly worse. I was living in Holland at the time and after a lot of testing the diagnosis was unspecified autoimmune disease. Rest and anti-inflammatory was would help. Skip forward to now. I moved back to usa thinking I could get better healthcare. I am practically crippled. Standing or walking more than five minutes causes unbearable pain in my legs and lower back. Sed rate is at 70.
Avatar m tn The 2 weeks were filled with stiffness, immediate mobility loss, nagging pain, no swelling, loss of grip strength, and pain when spreading fingers. Most terrible symptom was pain when pushing on bottom of hand like if i were to do a push-up. After 2 weeks and no improvement, i visited the doctor under the impression that i had broken one of the carpal bones inside of the wrist.
Avatar n tn My orthopedic surgeon isnt worried at all but my life is controlled by my hip pain and lack of mobility.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to our little MS community, Hmmmmm i'm not at all sure why this particular issue, would seem weird to a neuro in the first place, a neuro treating you for MS and being unaware of how common an MS issue it is and the why's of it, is what i'm finding more weird! There are a few different common reasons for why MSers with mobility issues can trip and or fall........'basically' every muscle in your leg needs to work together so your leg functions normally.
Avatar n tn The next day the swelling was down by half and I could stand on it very easily, although it was still tender about moving around. The swelling and pain dropped and my mobility increased each day afterwards. It is now eight days later and I can get around almost normally. I am in no pain, although there is a little discomfort and a little pocket of swelling below the inside knob of my left ankle.
Avatar f tn Hi, it's been quite a few hours since I banged my knee and I couldn't sleep from the pain that was going down my leg. My leg around the knee area hurts a lot when I got up this morning my knee was pretty stiff and I have pain going down my leg all the way to my ankle should I get this checked out? Could I have fractured something or could it be just banged up? Is it even possible to fracture anything in that area? Can some one advice me please.
Avatar n tn I broke three fingers on my right. Ihave three pins in my little finger, three pins in my ring finger, my middle finger is also broken but didn't require pins. They are all broken in the first bone right above the knuckle.I am very concerned about the mobility of my hand after the pins come out. Next week is my surgery to have them removed.
Avatar f tn About 3 weeks ago, I punched someone and broke the 5th metacarpal in my right hand, at its base, right above the wrist bone. It is angulated and there is a large bump on the top-rigth side of my hand. I was told by one orthopedic surgeon that I needed a pin because it was angulated. I was then told by another orthopedic surgeon that I did not need a pin because the angulation was under 40 degrees. I realize that each doctor will have their own opinion.
1709674 tn?1308131529 I have ostoperous and have broken both wrists. I have to exercise to strengthen them,and keep fit and keep my weight down so I don't break anything else. Keeping weight down is the hardest. I would get advice from a dr. as to what you need to do, have it X-Rayed.
Avatar f tn labor day of 2007 i was on my friends inflatable water slide in her backyard and i went down headfirst and her mother who was a little heavy went down before me and popped a hole in the end pool that catches you and i didnt realize so there was no air in the ending and i went flying out the end and landed full weight on my left shoulder. i went to the er and they said i broke my clavicle put me in a sling and sent me on my way.
Avatar m tn Also when I lay my hand flat on the table and hold down my finger from the third to second knuckle the remainder of the finger 3nd knuckle and above can bend backwards while the uninjured finger can not. Which seems to me like it could be broken or ripped tendon granting it increased mobility. I don't want to get an xray without just cause because my mom thinks I am overreacting and don't want to go an end up proving her right.
279234 tn?1363105249 t want to cause more damage and would like any advice on what to do, to regain, if I can, some mobility in that leg/ankle. I feel like the doctors are just sitting by and watching me deteriorate with their preverbale thumbs up their keisters. LOL Sorry about the confusion.
Avatar f tn nothing came up on the hip X-ray and now I’m waiting for a letter from the hospital as I’ve been referred to a section there as we don’t know why it’s hurts. However recently, along with the leg and hip pain, the top of my backs been excruciating. Although it’s had the feeling like it needs to click for months (around the same time my hips been hurting for, so around August 2017), for the past few days it’s had a strong burning pain which hurts when I touch the area, bend or if I lie on it.
Avatar m tn February 7th I twisted and hurt my back and managed to lose mobility in my right leg. My employer lined up a chiropractor and I had visits to the chiropractor three times a week. After the second week of bone alignments and acupuncture I was able to walk near normal again up to March 10th - where things went bad with the acupuncture and I walked out of the office in worse shape than when I went in.
Avatar n tn I have found a black vulture with a broken wing. The wing is broken between the joints. It is my understanding that they can be fixed with plates, pins and or screws unless the bird is a species that has air in it's flight bones. Is the black vulture a species with air in it's flight bones? or can it be fixed in this manner?
368646 tn?1208393887 A TOS Specialist diagnosed me with "probable" TOS and prescibed Physical Therapy (PT). My mobility and overall health continue to decline. Therapists have now told me it can't be TOS since my leg is affected (I use a walker, but now pretty much need a wheelchair. FYI - I'm F/40.) Is it reue that TOS does not have leg involvement? Thank you!!
