Answered by Dr. Suman Saurabh

A injury happened during my 5K run on the treadmill with normal jogging speed. Does it indicate that my bones are weak?

Hi,Welcome to icliniq.com.I am sorry to hear about your injury and hope to help you. As per your MRI report (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity), you have a fracture of the proximal tibia, which is undisplaced. Continue the above-knee cast for two more weeks, and then it will be removed, and a fresh X-ray will be done to see the status of the fracture, and further management will be done afterward.Warm regards.

How long will a back injury take to heal completely?

Hello, Welcome to the icliniq.com. I am sorry to hear about your accident and I am glad that you are recovering well. As you have mentioned that the pain started after lifting weights, so it must be because of disc prolapse or muscular strain of back. I think, as per my experience, you will take two more months to recover and return to activities. Meanwhile you should start gentle back exercises.

What is the correct dosage and duration for taking Akurit 4 and Akurit 3 for my bone TB?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. To monitor the treatment response, you should get an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and a CRP (C-reactive protein) test. Repeating an MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) after four months is unnecessary. Tablet Akurit 4 (Isoniazid 75mg, Rifampicin 150mg, Ethambutol 275mg, and Pyrazinamide 400mg) should be taken for three months, followed by Akurit 3 (Rifampicin 150mg, Isoniazid 75mg, and Ethambutol 275mg).
