mri for my knee. the results: - acl sprain with full thickness disruption, chronic proximal mcl sprain, patella alta w/o pf malaligment. english?

Question

Why pain after cortizone (hydrocortisone) injection. Mri says grade 2/3 sprain in both knee mcls, joint effusion, patella tilt &chrondomalica patella. Result of fall.

Answer 1

Stretch of ligaments: Sprains occur when ligaments (tissues holding joints together) stretch. The ACL is a ligament in the inside of the knee. The MCL is on the middle side of the knee. Disruption os ACL means it was probably/partially torn. Patella alta means that your knee cap is higher than usual. You should discuss these findings with the ordering physician so she/he can determine appropriate treatmen

Answer 2

Depends on direction: This depends on the direction of fracture. If the fracture is horizontal, the knee has to be immobilized to prevent possible displacement of the fracture and disruption of the knee extensor mechanism. If the fracture is vertical, you don't have to do much. Just don't do anything that causes pain in the knee and try to prevent any further trauma for about 2-3 months.

Answer 3

Not Surgery!: The treatment is conservative. I would suggest a hinged knee brace with or without crutches. This should get better without any surgery though. Sometimes a short course of therapy is helpful as well.

Answer 4

Yes: It is very successful and very wildly used for this type of conditions:.

Answer 5

Usually: Yes, it is beneficial for a number of causes of back pain as well as sciatica. In acupuncture we often treat the source of the pain rather than the location of the pain. So by treating the back problem - it usually causes the radiation down the leg to resolve.

Answer 6

Neural irritation: There are several causes of low back pain and thigh pain. Problems with the hip joint can often cause back/buttock pain that radiates to the groin and thigh. Irriation to the lumbar nerve roots in the lower back can also cause leg pain. Thigh pain is often seen with irritation to the l2, l3, and/or occasionally L4 nerve roots.

Answer 7

L34 disc herniation: Ppressure on the L4 nerve cause front of thigh pain.This can be caused by degenerative settling and crowding.

Answer 8

Sacroiliac joint: Sacroiliac joint dysfunction, unlike lumbar spine disorder with neural impingement, is known to include radiation of pain to anterior thigh & groin. For more information about this topic see my chronic pain board at quora.Com.

Answer 9

Depends: If it's one ankle, then it's a sign of an ankle injury.

Answer 10

Yes: Swelling in ankles can many things. Heartfailure is just one. Gout, arthritis , venous insufficiency, hypothyroidism , are just a few others you need a full exam with detailed history along with labs, cxr, ekg and possibly an echo of the heart.

Answer 11

Have it checked: It's best to he a vascular ultrasound to rule out a popliteal aneurysm or an avm.

Answer 12

Popliteal aneurysm : The only pulsating object in proximity to the knee is the popliteal artery. Usually this is not easily felt. If it is then it may need further evaluation with an ultrasound, especially if you have a history of other aneurysms.

Answer 13

Unsure: I suspect that you need to see a vascular specialist as this is not normal and needs to be further evaluated.

Answer 14

Get checked: Ultrasound will give answer usually. Easy test.
