Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

It's tough to consider surgery as an option. A slipped disc can cause nerve blockage, leading to pain and discomfort. But there are many cases of slipped discs can improve with non-surgical treatments. Physical therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle modifications can often help relieve symptoms. It's essential to follow advice of your neurosurgeon while also exploring conservative treatments. Stay in touch with with him for regular check-ups and adjustments to your treatment plan.

why do the bottom of my feet hurt actually painful aftera work day

Male | 66

After a long day at work, the foot soles that suffer the most are an issue for many people. One of the reasons could be having to stand or walk for a long time, wearing uncomfortable shoes, or not having time to rest your feet. It can be like hurting or having a sore. Some of the ways that may offer relief are: soaking your feet in warm water, massaging them, or using supportive shoes might be the solutions. Not only will it make your feet feel better, but it will also help with the pain.

You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.

I am 25year old female and have backache for last 2 months. Numbness in hands ,right feet pain and right stomach pain for last 3days. Which problem? How relipef the pain.

Female | 5

It’s important to understand that your symptoms, including back pain, numbness, and discomfort in your feet and abdomen, could be related to various conditions, such as nerve irritation or muscular issues. Relief may often be found through gentle stretching, applying heat, or over-the-counter pain relievers. However, considering the duration and combination of your symptoms, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your situation. Take care, and seeking professional advice is a smart step towards relief.

Hey, what I’d like to check is what the implications are that I seem to have symptoms developing after having the first vaccine. The bite mark has swelled and is itchy/prickly. The muscles in the affected leg feel tired and heavy. Might be totally unrelated but I woke up today with the hamstring in the other leg feeling pulled, I don’t think I was doing anything that would pull it. Facts are - I was lightly bitten by a wild dog on the evening of the 15th. By noon of the 16th I had the vaccine (Rabivax-S). Since then the symptoms above have appeared around the bite mark.

Female | 25

Swelling and itching near the bite, tired legs, and muscle heaviness are likely due to the dog bite and the vaccine. Your body might be overreacting to the vaccine. The hamstring pain in the other leg may not be related to the bite or vaccine. Use cold compresses and OTC antihistamines for itching and pain. Rest your legs and avoid physical activity to ease fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Ensure rabies prevention by following your doctor’s advice.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.

Female | 18

If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

I am 18 years old.Suffering from knee pain on right leg left side.i decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kgs.feeling neck pain and spinal cord pain

Female | 18

The knee pain on the outer side might be from some trauma or strain. The hurting of the neck and the spinal cord can be from bad posturing and muscle tension. You need to let that affected region recover, apply ice to the area, and do light stretching with the injured or painful part. Always keep your posture in the right way and make more decisions to reach out to a physiotherapist as a part of your strategy to get better quicker.

I am 27 years old . During a month I suffered from knee pain and pooping sound coming from there . Even I noticed sounds coming from every joint.

Male | 27

You may be suffering from crepitus, a condition involving joints made from popping or cracking sounds. When the knee or another joint, like the knee, expands, you can hear the sound. This says that sometimes air bubbles may be in the joint space. Or the Cheerios cereal-like cartilage surfaces of our bones are responsible for creating noise.
