Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. AVN (avascular necrosis) of the hip is usually due to a number of causes. Prolonged steroid intake is one of them. The treatment of AVN hips ranges from rest, core decompression and eventually hip replacement. Since you have had stage 1 and 2 in your respective hips, core decompression was a good choice.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. There are various causes for SI (sacroiliac) joint pain which range from: Osteoarthritis. Years of stress on the SI joint can eventually wear down the cartilage and lead to osteoarthritis. Ankylosing spondylitis. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of inflammatory arthritis that affects the vertebrae and joints of the spine.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Considering your symptoms and pain, I have a few points to mention. It is possible that the pain is due to quadriceps pull. However, a condition called chondromalacia patellae should also be ruled out. Do you have pain in climbing upwards or upstairs? I would recommend x-rays of the knee (anteroposterior, lateral and skyline patella view) to further manage it.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. The pain in your upper back is likely associated with poor posture. However, it is important to determine if you have any issues with walking, such as weakness in your legs, difficulty maintaining balance, fever, or breathing problems. If the pain is solely due to poor posture, muscle relaxants along with customized back exercises may help alleviate it.
Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.The cervical rib is an extra rib above the first rib. Nothing needs to be done as of now and she needs to be reassured. If the rib causes serious problems like arterial compression or nerve pressure in the future, then it can be removed by surgical methods. As of now, I would recommend just reassurance and some analgesics.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. First, I would like to know if the back pain goes down to your legs or if it increases on changing position. There is a possibility that the bones look normal on a simple AP (anteroposterior) and lateral x-ray (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would recommend you to go for flexion and extension views in lateral position to look for spinal instability. If you have radicular pain, then an MRI of lumbar spine would help.
