injured right knee possible meniscus tear plus lcl. 24 hrs later foot is swollen. mri in 2 days. should i be worried about swelling in foot?

Question

Treatment for torn meniscus and partial torn lateral collateral ligament in left knee diagnosed by MRI scan?

Answer 1

If it is only: in the foot and if it is not severe. If the swelling or pain extends into calf or it worsens, it could be DVT, so re-consult with your doctor.

Answer 2

Lymph nodes: Doing breast cancer surgery the lymph nodes are removed. This causes the lymphatic fluid to back up in the arm.

Answer 3

Lymphedema: Arm swelling after breast cancer surgery used to be an all-too-common occurrence secondary to the removal of many of the lymph nodes under the armpit . The incidence of lymphedema increases in response to radiation therapy that encompasses this area.Modern techniques for lymph node evaluation (sentinel lymph node biopsy) remove far fewer lymph nodes, dramatically reducing the risk of lymphedema.

Answer 4

Lymphedema: If a person has had surgery in the axilla to check for lymph nodes, they can be at risk for lymphedema or arm swelling. This surgery disrupts the passage way for fluid to drain from the arm which then causes swelling. Thankfully, lymphedema from breast surgery is not a profound as it once was since less lymph nodes are removed.

Answer 5

Pain happens after: most surgical procedures. In mastectomy, a nerve that exits the side of the breast is usually injured or sacrificed and irritation of is causes pain or noxious tingling especially when the arms swing during walking. Swelling is independent of that and can be caused by removal of lymph nodes and exacerbated by not putting the limb thru frequent adequate range of motion- usually out of fear of pain

Answer 6

Unlikely: Ethanol is a sugar. Humans do not demonstrate allergies to sugers, but rather, to proteins. Alcohol is a vasodilator and this could be what is causing your symptoms. Regardless, although it seems fun, try and reduce the binge drinking because it is taking a toll on your health.

Answer 7

Could be: Alcohol itself rarely causes allergy, but beverages have hundreds of other substances in them, particularly red wines, beer and whiskeys, and it is possible to have allergy to any of them. However, itching and swelling of palms and souls would be unusual as the sole manifestation of allergy. I would talk to your health care provider and seek a referral to an allergist.

Answer 8

Possible: It depends on severity, location, extent and associated defect of spinal cord or nerves.

Answer 9

Yes and no: You need to be seen by an orthopaedic spine specialist. The l5/s1 does not affect your arms but it can affect your legs. You will requires x-rays and mri's of your spine.

Answer 10

Many possibilities: See a doctor. This combination of symptoms should be evaluated and treated if necessary.

Answer 11

It depends.: I do not think that a heart condition is likely, given your age and results under normal conditions. It depends on when you get these episodes, and under what circumstances. If they happen during a hectic period in your day, like at work, etc., i would say anxiety is likely. However, if they occur at random points during your day, or after exertion, i would say get a stress test, etc..

Answer 12

Could be: Anxiety is a plausible explanation. There are so many other possibilities that are beyond the scope of this forum.. Best bet is to continue searching for a cause. These symptoms are also consistent with a neuromuscular bite problem. A bad bite can stimulate the hpa (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal) axis (selye) as well as alter cervical vertebral, position and compress axiallary nerves.
