What's causing my left knee pain and swelling?
Your mom might have hurt her knee after falling off her bicycle. The pain and swelling she experiences when walking could indicate a knee injury. Injuries cause tissues inside the knee to become inflamed, resulting in such symptoms. To help recover, she should rest her knee, apply ice to reduce swelling and elevate her leg. Gently moving her knee can also prevent stiffness. However, if the pain and swelling persist, she should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment options.

Should I worry after open wound injury without plaster?
Keep the wound clean and monitor for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain. You did well by cleaning the wound and applying Betadine. It's good practice to carry a small first aid kit with plasters and antiseptics for such situations. If you notice any signs of infection or concerned, it's best to consult an orthopedic specialist to ensure proper healing and care.

What Does ESR Drop From 70 to 26 Mean?
An ESR test measures inflammation levels in your body. A lower ESR reading, like 26, indicates less inflammation compared to a higher value like 70. This suggests the inflammatory condition is relatively better controlled. Ankylosing spondylitis causes back pain and stiffness due to inflammation in the spine. Effective management involves staying physically active through exercise routines, adhering to prescribed medications, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use.

Could a 2 kg weight drop cause thumb pain?
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.
