Can one start TB medicines again for hip pain?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Synovitis will cause pain. I suggest you start TB (tuberculosis) medications otherwise, it will progress, and later you will develop arthritis, so begin as early as possible. Sometimes all tests are inconclusive initially, no need to do further testing for the next three months. Follow the medications according to prescription.

The ring finger in my left hand is paining and stiff. Why?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your history and symptoms, it is definitely a trigger finger. With symptoms of almost 1-year duration, it better to go for trigger release, or else if you want to try, you can try local steroid injection and percutaneous release. But better is the first option, as the recurrence rates are less..

I made a bad dance move that resulted in few slipped discs. Will I be able to dance again?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Because of abnormal posture, this can happen. That weakness and tingling are primarily transient, and no need to worry. If you do an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) for the normal individual, also there will be a minimal disc problem. You can prevent this by avoiding few postures like bending forward, lifting weights, avoid long journeys, avoid landing on to the head and back.

Due to knee injury, I am unable to sleep. Please suggest an orthosis that helps in this condition.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have a history of twisting injury with pain and swelling in the right knee. You can have a ligamentous or meniscus injury or contusion in the knee. Please mention some more information about the incident, do you have any instability while climbing the stairs, do you have a locking or a cracking sound while bending your knees, and your mobility status at present. If you do not have instability or locking, you need to give some time for the swelling to get reduced, and automatically the pain will get reduced.

Why do I have swelling and bluish discoloration of the foot after falling on knees?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. There is no need to worry about the foot as it can be due to a soft tissue injury, and you can continue with the medications and apply the ice pack for the same. However, I would suggest wearing knee braces full time and trying to walk if possible. Once the swelling is gone completely, the doctor will check for abnormality; if there is cause for concern, then we need to treat accordingly, and if not, the swelling will subside within three to four days.
