Question 1

i have put on 30kg in the last 10 months due to meds and poor diet. i have lower and upper back pain, aching legs, could be due to weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Weight gain can.: Weight gain can certainly explain your symptoms. All your wait is carried by your hips, which can translate into low back pain. Also, your posture changes with weight gain. Also look for other symptoms associated with your back pain: pain or burning during urination, constipation , menses...

Question 2

mild dextroscoliosis of thoracic spine.not sure of the degree.have asymmetry in legs.have upper back pain somtimes wen doing something continuously

Accepted Answer

If mild don't worry : Mild scoliosis does not need any specific treatment as does any leg length difference under 3/4 of an inch.  In terms of the upper back pain occasionally , try some core strengthening exercises  or taking short breaks to avoid a  a continuous load or stress on your back.

Accepted Answer

: You're 5 days into a covid infection. Have you been vaccinated &amp; boostered? No worrisome chest symptoms or further fever by now is a good sign. Drink lots of fluids. Isolate until you're absolutely free of symptoms for 48 hours although smell may take a while to return. Check with your physician as needed.

Question 4

i have had extensive massage treatment for upper back pain which has really helped, but the pain has migrated to my legs ! any thoughts / advice ?

Accepted Answer

Try Massage for legs: If the massage in legs doesn't help try getting evaluation of your back for sciatica or a pinched nerve.

low/mid/upper back pain 12+ yrs. large (baseball size+) growing lump 6+ mos in muscle (?) back of upper leg- very painful. can see lump. on occasion warmer than surrounding area. non-diabetic, feet bottoms & all toes completely numb & so painful?

Accepted Answer

: Not feasible to be precise herein, but you clearly describe a polyneuropathy which needs full evaluation.  The lump, needs dermatology consultation.  Your back may benefit from physical therapy.  A lot to address.  Get busy with your doctor.

Accepted Answer

Now: I would recommend you get it checked now to determine the cause.

Question 7

Accepted Answer
