Question

Does having osteopenia only on the hip the same side as a five year old knee replacement make sense?

Answer 1

Bones Joints & Life: We grow up thinking bone health is all about milk. And, perhaps as a child or infant that is true. But, as we age bone health is about physical activity: keeping your muscles active and getting enough movement to keep your bones healthy and strong by straining them, using them to move. You are out of shape. You must get up and move and move a lot while eating a diet high in protein.

Answer 2

Possibly: They are of two types. The leiomyoma occurs in the skin or gut but the common form is the uterine fibroid. Rhabdomyomas are rare tumors of muscles, they occur in childhood and often become malignant assuming this is a uterine fibroid, if it were in the proper anatomic location it could cause vascular compromise, nerve compression, pelvic cramping or even a referred pain pattern.

Answer 3

Several suggestions: Evaluate your routine to determine how long it takes before the discomfort begins. This will help you determine when to stand and stretch, do isometric exercises, or a combination of both. Evaluate your chair and if possible, obtain one that has at least three adjustment. Seat height, armrest, and lumbar.

Answer 4

Nerve related: Sound like a nerve related condition: ie: neuroma, neuritis.

Answer 5

Nerve entrapment: Definitely is an entrapment of the intermediate dorsal cutaneous nerve. Visit your local podiatrist for an evaluation and possible nerve block as described in a previous answer.

Answer 6

Neuroma: It is possible you have a neuroma. Make an appointment with a podiatrist

Answer 7

Morton's neuroma: Morton's neuroma is also a consideration versus other neuropathic conditions. Fracture, osteoarthritis less likely. Pinch between the web space of the toes and see if it happens. No matter what try a wide toe box shoe with a firm sole until you get it examined.

Answer 8

Blisters under: Toenails are quite common in sports participants. If you're able to drain it, apply a topical antibiotic and wrap it in a band aid, that's about the best you can do short term. You might want to check on the size of the soccer boots. If too small, they can be making things worse. Also, i hope the coach/trainer has them wearing running shoes for the pure running workouts.

Answer 9

See your Podiatrist: Her overuse plus ill fitting soccer shoes are the most likely cause. I would make an appointment with a podiatrist he or she can evaluate her bio mechanics and help her.

Answer 10

Try: Wearing 2 pair of socks. The blister under the nail should be treated first though. With a sterile instrument lance it and apply a bandaid. If you feel uncomfortable doing the procedure, see a podiatrist.

Answer 11

Maybe...: We suggest rest, ice, elevation, compression and NSAID of choice. You don't necessarily have to stop, but you may need to back off some. If it worsens, you may have to stop and get it checked out.

Answer 12

Not neccesarily: If the pain is sharp or persistant, than i would stop and seek medical relief when you have the time. If the pain is mild, check your shoes as they may be worn out, or purchase a stabilizing brace to help as you run.

Answer 13

No: Change shoes if it persists see a podiatrist.

Answer 14

Never continue: Running when you have pain you can cause damage. Try to assess what is causing the pain. Is it your sneaker? If you can't figure it out or the pain persists see a podiatrist or orthopedic foot ankle specialist.
