i awaken with sharp burning pain in the posterior aspect of my ankle along my achilles tendon for the past couple of months. is there any home treatments that might help?

Question

Ankle MRI report - ant tib tendon bowing, tendonitis in ant tib, tenosynovitis in posterior tib, mild tendonitis in Achilles'. Best treatment?

Answer 1

Yes: You can do stretching and use ice to the area. If it persists seek treatment by a podiatrists.

Answer 2

Does it only hurt: When yo uawaken? Does it hurt when you walk? Is there any swelling? I would try wearing a night splint on it to see if that helps. Gentle stretching during the day, if swelling present take an anti-inflammatory. If pain persists see a doctor. Aside from possible achilles tendonitis, sural nerve neuritis is another possibility.

Answer 3

Stretching: Nsaids, i suggest you see your dr. Two months duration may indicate you have a partial tear.

Answer 4

Back pains: The word "serious" calls for need for assessment by an orthopedic specialist for diagnosis & recommendations.

Answer 5

Probably normal: If you do not have pain and no fever then this may be normal. All of our tongues have bumps on the back of them and just maybe you never noticed them. The tonsils can collect debris and dead cells that slough off and these can collect as small white plugs in the tonsil itself. If there is no pain it is unlikely that you have an infection.

Answer 6

Infection: Pus is an absolute sign of infection. You may have a bacterial infection. I suggest you see your primary care physician promptly for a diagnosis, which may include a painless culture & a regimen of the appropriate antibiotic. You should recover quickly.

Answer 7

Seems ok: Is DPO days post ovulation? If so, your HCG roughly doubled in 48 hours...That is a good textbook rise! a mild cramp is common, and no bleeding is always good. Seems to me you are pregnant! no indication of ectopic, no reason to think cancer (hcg producing cancers are typically seen in much younger women ie teens and 20's) and menopause doesn't give you rising hcg. So for now, congrats and luck!

Answer 8

Not usual for disk: With the muscular atrophy and neuritis, it might be best to undergo further testing. There are many possible causes, including diabetes, autoimmune, endocrine, to mention a few. At your age, a complete workup is indicated.

Answer 9

Maybe: However, bulging discs are usually normal findings . A further workup may be needed to rule out other sources such as a neuropathy ( which may have various causes like diabetes) or a higher level problem with your spine. You should see a neurologist for a detailed workup.

Answer 10

Many causes: Some common causes 1. Bulging disc 2. Diabetes 3. B12 anemia (alcohol) 4. Medication side effect 5. Nerve degeneration 6. Poor circulation.

Answer 11

The flu?: The symptoms indicate your body is fighting off some nasty infection. Serious and treatable infections need to be excluded. If none found, most likely it is viral flu.
