Question 2

when me and my sister go out in the cold we get ankle,back and knee pain and was wondering why ?

Accepted Answer

Joint pain: Joint pain in relation to the weather may be a real phenomenon. The good news is that the weather, including cold weather, is not associated with inflammatory arthritis. If your symptoms persist, I recommend seeing a rheumatologist.

Question 3

what can cause  ankle pain and  knee pain on the right side of my body?

Accepted Answer

Get diagnosed first: There are a number of things that can cause swelling in the ankles and feet. This is a very nonspecific symptom.  I recommend that someone swelling in these areas should be seen by orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon for a definitive diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be started.  You can find one in your area at:
www.Orthodoc.Aaos.Org/foot ankle.

Question 4

i have swelling on both ankles and some knee pain on the left with some unbearable pain coming from the top of my right foot?

Accepted Answer

Swelling &amp; Knee: The ankle swelling is likely from a circulatory issue and the knee pain may be a torn meniscus or arthritis.  Both need to be diagnosed by your doctor who can then help you.  Peace and good health.

Question 5

i am experiencing  leg swelling, ankle swelling and knee pain. the following also describe me: obesity and knee pain. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Simple things first: Hi Minam,
Sorry to hear that you are experiencing struggles with your health. I am assuming that your symptoms have been going on for awhile? Or at least gradually worsening? If so, the best thing will likely be lifestyle improvement through developing healthy habits in areas of fitness, eating, sleep, and mental wellness. The emphasis is developing healthy habits, the results will come naturally.

Question 6

dorsiflexion osteotomy caused hallux limitus. inversion compensation causing ankle sprains and knee pain. surgeon only give shot. can this be fixed?

Accepted Answer

IT CAN BE FIXED: To be clear, you had a dorsiflexory osteotomy of the 1st metatarsal, and it was raised too much? If so, the surgery is essentially reversed to drop the metatarsal down. That should be done, to avoid arthritis at the bunion joint. You're young, so this should be done. Why was it done initially? Good luck.

Pain in hamstring: Since you had trauma to your leg, have your hamstring checked for a deep vein thrombosis

Question 8

Accepted Answer

You should know if-: -there was an injury 2 so many joints, so I would lean toward an inflammatory process. You should be worked up for DJD, or rheumatoid disease or other autoimmune disease.
