How to treat an injured ankle that is swollen and painful?
Hi doctor,
Before seven months, I sprained my ankle due to a track and field injury. I postponed crutches for a week due to a trip the following day but went on crutches the next week. I never went to see a doctor. I just went through PT with my athletic trainer. I spent three weeks without rigorous exercise and was able to return. The pain finally subsided after three months. But, it is still swollen and sometimes, painful to flex. Why?

How to treat back pain caused by lifting heavy weight?
Hi doctor,
I was sitting half-bent while washing the clothes. There were a few buckets full of water one over the other. I got my back hurt when I tried to bring one of the buckets down. My body has tilted a bit towards the left. I am unable to move and walk and was painting a lot. Usually after work I do will have a slight pain in my back. But today it has increased so much that I cannot even move. Please tell me what medicine and what precautions should I take. Today I have taken Flexon-MR but it did not reduce the pain.

What is the treatment for persistent right lower back pain?
Hi doctor,
I had an injury in the left SI joint two years ago. Because of it, I am lying, walking, and sitting only on my right side. Now the left side is fine, but I have developed tingling and burning pain in the right lower back. My MRI, X-ray of the spine, and SI joints are normal. Blood tests for ankylosing spondylitis, RA factor, hemogram, LFT, and KFT are normal. Pain in the right lower back continues. Pain is like pins and needles and also like burning. I had a bone scan done which showed some abnormalities. I have enclosed my bone scan report for your reference. Please advise on the treatment for persistent pain in the right lower back area.
