Question 3

leg hurts with  bump on back on knee?

Accepted Answer

See below: Sounds like a baker's cyst, which is a collection of excess joint fluid which makes it's way out of the knee capsule to the back of the knee between two muscles. It is not a serious condition, but usually indicates an arthritic issue in the knee. It can cause discomfort. Sometimes we drain these but they usually come back. You shoud get your knee examined to determine if this is what it is.

Accepted Answer

The choice is yours: You could ice it and take antiinflammatories and see how you feel, or can see the foot doc who will likely take an xray to see if just a contusion or if you broke anything. Ice it on/off 20 minutes when you get a chance for the next 24 hours.

Pain in calf: that makes it difficult to walk is definitely something you want to have looked at by your provider! The rash may or may not be related.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Dvt: given your description your pain and especially its location and lack of distal congestion it is unlikely to be due to dvt. However, since we don't have your medical history or meds it's not possible to be absolutely certain. If you are for some reason really concerned discuss with your doctor and have a vascular study.  It is likely neurological like sciatic or muscular due to strain or both.

Question 8

which genital hpv stains cause bump appear on finger? (cmv+hsv1+genital hpv) co-infection then which virus cause foot & leg pain? any possible chance to clear hpv with this co-infection?

Accepted Answer

: No genital HPV types are likely to do this, only the non sexually transmitted types that cause hand and foot warts, especially HPV type 1. None of these three viruses is a likely cause of foot and leg pain. Most HPV infections are cleared by the immune system over time. It is unlikely you have an active CMV infection just because you have a positive blood test:  discuss with your doctor.
