View 4 RepliesOrthopedics :: Hip Pops And Hurts For Months
For over about two months now I have been having pain in my right upper leg near the joint. Better way to explain it is when you sometimes put it in a weird position it pops and kind of hurts. Well it's like that but all the time all day sometimes. Recently it makes getting into my car and crossing my legs a task. Also, I feel light headed a good majority of the day. The light headedness only started with my leg issue. I have tried stretching my leg and rubbing it maybe thinking it's a pulled muscle but nothing seems to work. Is this something I need to worry about?
View 1 RepliesShoulder Injury From Car Accident 4 Months Ago - Still Hurts
I was in a rollover car accident about 4 months ago and my shoulder hurt pretty bad right afterwards due to the seat belt. The docs took x rays but nothing on it. I had several weeks off from work and thought the pain was getting better. Ever since returning, the pain has come back and has not gone away. I finally went back to the doctor about a month ago and they prescribed me some ibuprofen and muscle relaxer and also referred me to physical therapy. Well, a month into physical therapy, the shoulder really still hurts. It's hard to lift my arm and do overhead activities. It's also hard to reach in the back and put on my coat for example. Any kind of pressure on it makes it sore and it feels pretty weak now. I was told from worker's comp to possibly ask a referral to see an orthopedic surgeon but I am not sure I want to go down that road. I am thinking of asking the doc to order an MRI.
View 6 RepliesHigh Ankle Sprain 6 Months Ago Still Hurts
I sprained my ankle 6 months ago REALLY bad. I jumped so high (+35") to block a dunk and there was a lot of contact in the air, than on the way down I rolled my ENTIRE ankle when I landed. I swore to god that it felt like it was broken, I mean I sprained my many times before but this one was by far the worst.
The ambulance came in because I couldn't move my ankle or put any weight on it what so ever and the pain was 10/10 non stop for almost 1 hour. They gave me 2 ibuprofen pills that reduced the pain a little bit to 8/10. They put me in some supported thing in my ankle as well. Then I went to the x-ray room and the Dr said that he didn't see a fracture. So, he said it's a regular ankle sprain and he gave me crutches and supported boot. I'm pretty sure it's grade 3 sprain but the Dr said it's regular sprain. After few months I went back and they found a fracture and they said I should see an orthopedic but unfortunately I can't afford it and I don't have a car.
In the first month and half I'v been in a crutches for 2 weeks and supported boot for another the entire first month. At the same time I was using RIICE regularly (Rest, Ice, Ibuprofen, Compression, Elevate). Than, I started to put weight on it with little pain. After that, I started the PT for almost a month that helped me a little bit to walk and do some light physical activities with no pain. Finally, I started to play basketball slowly and doing the PT exercises everyday as well. After few weeks, I started to play full court 5on5 basketball with no to little pain as long as I wear my ankle brace.
The problem is my ankle still swollen to this day after almost 187 days of the injury. My lateral movements have decreased tremendously, I can't get by any defender what so ever. My 1 leg running vertical jump decreased by at least 8". I feel like my ankle is only 60-70% to what it used to be. So, I went to PT again for another month with no improvement at all. What should I do? Is it over for my professional basketball career? I'v been selected to be in my national basketball team "the youngest ever did that" I'm willing to do what ever it takes to get back to what I used to be.

View 1 RepliesBell's Palsy :: Back After 14 Months
I had Bell's Palsy last year and with in 14 months i got it back. First time i think it took around 6 weeks to recover 90%. I still have some signs of it. During First time - i had pain behind my ear for 3 days and on 4th day - I started noticing something wrong and by the end of the day - i had total facial paralysis on my left side.
Now for second time - it is so weird that i had pain for almost 5 days and on 6th day i started noticing changes and by end of the day i am still normal and by end of 7 day it got worse.
I went to Doctor and he kind of confirmed Bells Palsy ( not sure whether he is 100% sure) and gave me Steroids and Antivirals.
Weird part is why is it so slow this time - after 2 complete days of initial symptoms - i am still able to close my eyes ( forcefully and not like the other one) and i am still able to smile little bit ( very slightly). Is it something normal to Bell's Palsy or i have something else.

View 1 RepliesPleurisy :: Pregnant 7 Months - Pain In My Right Chest And Back
I was just recently diagnosed with pleurisy after spending hours running through every test imaginable. I am also pregnant, 7 months, with my second child. I have never felt a pain like this before. The pain is in my right chest and back; at first I was tested for gallbladder problems and that came out clear. I was sent to the ER for further testing where they did extensive blood work ups, chest x-ray, tested for reflux and finally a cat scan. When everything came back clear, they diagnosed it as pleurisy and sent me home with a pain killer. Unfortunately, the pain got worse and I was readmitted to the ER by my OB for more testing. Again everything was clear, this time they were given the green light to give me ibuprofen but only for 3 days with a follow up visit to my OB on day 3 to make sure the baby was alright. So far, the ibuprofen is helping considerably. I hope I never have to suffer through this again. I found the information provided here about pleurisy very helpful especially since I had never even heard of it before this happened.

View 2 RepliesUterine Fibroids :: Nerve Pain In Buttock That Goes Down To Leg
I've just come out of hospital, having been admitted due to chronic pain. I had MRI which showed 10cm fibroid, benign cyst and thick lining of uterus - I'm 53 and pre menopausal. I have been having sever nerve like pain in buttock and goes down leg. I assumed gyno consultant would put this down to fibroid pressing on nerve. However, she was adamant pain nothing to do,with fibroids and ordered MRI for back which orthopaedic looked at and said was fine. She was still certain the pain and my enlarged uterus were not connected so has referred me to physio and out me in Esmya, and I then left hospital with many pain meds. These get me through the day with a background niggling pain, occasionally peaks and I roll for a bit. She is away at present, but will see me when gets back, my husband has made a private appointment with consultant who is covering. I am so sure the two are connected as they began together. Is he likely to disagree with a colleague? I can't go on with this level,of,pain - when I was admitted to hospital it was via a&e due to pain, and I'm scared the pain may escalate again. Any views/thoughts welcome.
View 31 RepliesDisc Prolapse :: Sever Buttock Pain When Standing Up
For the last 3 weeks I am getting severe buttock pain when I stand up after sitting or lying on the bed. Thereafter when I walk for 2 min the pain subsides and I feel absolutely normal.
Again when I sit the cycle continues. Sometimes the pain moves from bottom to back of thigh.
I have consulted few doctors, one said Hamstring strain, other said SI joint and piriformis muscle issue and finally the last one said disc prolapse.
Has anyone experienced such issue before and if yes what was the diagnosis.
