Answer 1

This could be neurop: Neuropathy can be irritation of the nerves with damage and burning symptoms. BUT these symptoms can be caused by other things like paresthesias. You can discuss this with you physician and be seen by a neurologist.

Answer 2

Phlebitis: You need to check with your physician for phlebitis or clot formation , if recurrent may need to rule out hypercoagulable problem or tendency to form clots.

Answer 3

See Phlebologist: You have venous insufficiency, and probably have leg discomfort and perhaps swelling. The vv may get firm when legs are in dependent position, and collapse with legs elevated above the heart level. Seek help of a phlebologist by going on www.Phlebology.Org and place your zip code to find one in your area who can evaluate and treat your problem and relieve your symptoms.

Answer 4

Phlebitis?: As dr. Halimah said, you could be having repeated episodes of phlebitis but with only firmness and no pain, redness, and warmth, it is less likely. Varicose veins will become firm with prolonged standing, even without phlebitis. Regardless, you have a varicose veins that is bothering you and it would be worth it to see a vein specialist, as dr. Isobe suggested.

Answer 5

Need exam to assess: You likly only sustained soft tissue trauma or a bruise from the force dissipated onto your elbow when the air bag deployed. A thorough examination, possible x-rays, and even an MRI may be used to figure out exactly what was injured.

Answer 6

Commonly a cyst: This can be from many things but if you have an internal knee problem like a meniscus tear or wear on your cartilage, you joint can make extra fluid and this can escape out the back of the knee joint and create a space filled with joint fluid called a poplital (or baker's) cyst. Get evaluated by your doctor first and get a diagnosis.

Answer 7

Exam needed: Are you extremely flexible in all your joints ?The knee needs to be thoroughly and properly examined and compared to your other knee to determine if there is any ligamentous or muscular deficiency. Depending on the exam a customized exercise program may be all that is needed or bracing with surgery as a final resort.

Answer 8

Keratosis pilaris: This is a sign you are irritating or over drying your skin. You may need a prescription but most of my pts with this do better if they use gentler products when bathing and a good moisturizer.
