For the last two years, I have had a swelling of the bursa sac on my knee. The swelling gets worse with moderate exercise. Is there any way to relieve the swelling? Should I be concerned? Could this problem lead to degeneration of the knee?
I was recently diagnosed with 2 Tarlov cysts on the S1 section of my back. I get sciatica nerve pain constantly. Meloxicam stops my pain for a few days. But as soon as I stop the medicine, the pain restarts. I read quite a bit about it on internet, but treatments dont look very hopeful. What do I do now?
Ive been active in sports my entire life. I had debridement surgery on my right ankle one year ago. Its still painful. Have there been any medical advances to either replace the cartilage (synthetic or real) or re-grow cartilage?
I fell during skating last year. Since then, I have daily low back pain. I was offered a steroid shot at the ER, but declined it. Should I have gotten the shot? Is this something I should ask for now?
I have heel spurs. The pain is under control, but I worry about this getting worse. What causes heel spurs? Is it caused by ingesting too much calcium? How about a vitamin deficiency?
Over the past 3 weeks, Ive developed pain in my ankles, Achilles tendon, knee and elbows. The pain is minor to severe, and it feels like the pain moves from joint to joint. I havent changed my routine or had any injuries. So what could cause this?
