Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

The symptoms you have explained, such as the inability to walk and numbness of the hand following delivery, are indicative of obstetric brachial plexopathy. This is a condition that occurs when the nerves around your shoulder are injured during the birthing process. Physical therapy can enhance your muscle power and flexibility. Physical therapists can give the right evaluation and the measures that work for them. I recommend consulting a physical therapist for further advice.

She is a diabetes patient and also has kidney problems. Two weeks ago, she suddenly felt severe pain in her left knee. Now, she is unable to sit up by herself and is not able to eat by herself.

Female | 60

With diabetes and kidney issues, sometimes joint pain can happen due to conditions like diabetic neuropathy or even osteoarthritis. In fact, when our bodies are dealing with multiple health concerns, it can put extra stress on different areas. The best thing to do right now is to seek medical help. It's important to get your knee checked to understand the exact cause of the pain. Meanwhile, try to rest your knee, apply ice if there's swelling, and avoid putting too much weight on it.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.

Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

My son has had a snowmobile accident that removed his bicep and the other small muscle on the front of his dominant hand. The ulnar and radial nerve are functional after the initial surgery. He is in the anchorage hospital. But wants the best care and treatment to gain as much use back from his arm as possible. Would he benefit from being moved to a level 1 trauma center from where he is at. Also he wants as rapid of treatment in the healing as possible.

Male | 39

The­ functioning nerves following the proce­dure are promising. Relocating him to a trauma facility could bene­fit recovery, as they focus on tre­ating severe injurie­s. Immediate care is crucial for optimal he­aling. The trauma center offe­rs specialized treatme­nt, therapies, and resource­s for the best possible outcome­.
