Question 1

can you get a blood clot from compression knee high in your ankle the reason i'm asking cause i have some pain only on my right ankle?

Accepted Answer

Usually not : Usually compression stockings help prevent clots, not cause them. However, if they're tight enough, it may feel like it's cutting off circulation, or fascially restricting muscle movement. So perhaps your ankles feel this way. In any case, have it checked out by your doctor. S/he can tell right way what the problem is. Usually blod clots in the leg are swollen, hurt, and are hot or warm to touch.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

You : You have a complex problem that truly requires a comprehensive analysis of the situation. Giving you a simple answer would be inappropriate. You may want to seek a second opinion with a board certified orthopedic surgeon.

Question 3

last summer i dumped my dirt bike and my right ankle was trapped, on a angle, underneath the motorcycle. could this be the reason i'm feeling pain in hip, knee, shin, and ankle of right leg after walking for a half mile.

Accepted Answer

It's a common: fact that pain in the joint above (and/or) below a strained/sprained joint develops pain from the altered ability to use the injured joint....you had incident resulting in a sprain/strained ankle ..thus pain in knee etc. Hope this is helpful

Question 4

i was walking my dog when my knee cracked and it hurt to use my leg to walk, and now the pain come and goes during my day at school. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Tricky: but it sounds like more than the usual minor tendon sprain; in which case evaluation by an Orthopedic doctor is going to be important.

Question 5

i have an aka on my left leg sometimes when i walk it pops & cracks and hurts on the outer side of my left knee  in about the middle of the knee that is in the prosthetic other people can hear the cracking it real hurts for just a second  hard  walk?

Accepted Answer

Reassessment: The obvious response would be that the prosthetic that you’re presently in is not immobilizing you to the point that the doctor hopes. You might need a cast to be placed around your knee and leg to give you greater immobilization to prevent movement the Pain. Report back to your doctor so that he can either adjust what you’re wearing or come up with a different solution

Question 6

what is the reason for foot pain when i stand after waking up or sitting for a long time then standing or when i walk for a long time. sometimes the pain is to my knee if its cold around. could it be related to my hand/arm nerve pain?

Accepted Answer

: You need to be seen and evaluated. The information provided would allow a guess at best what is happening. My guess is plantar fasciitis. The involvement of the knee and other structures could be secondary. Or from favoring your foot pain. See your podiatrist or family doctor

Question 7

i have pain in my spine, hips and legs. i can't stand straight or for very long, my legs will start to tingle and go numb. the pain travels through my left leg at the knee area and when i walk it wants to crack. if i stay idle i began to stiffen up?

Accepted Answer

: Please take OTC advil or aleve as needed for pain if there is other health issue then see your doctor as soon as possible. The evaluation will be best done by either a rheumatologist or an orthopedist but I doubt you can see them directly without referral in Canada. Good luck.

Question 8

what could be the reason for pain in my right ankle when i try to walk up the stairs?

Accepted Answer

Ankle pain: Ankle pain can because by many different things. Some of the most common things are tendinitis and an ankle sprain. If you continue to experience pain you should see your podiatrist for further evaluation.

Question 9

my ankles and knee are swollen and brused. i didn't injure them. it hurts to walk. i also gave hard bumps on my shins. what could cause this ?

Accepted Answer

Erythema nodosum: Possible autoimmune response or purpura due to clotting disorder.
