Doctor, my father is 60 years old. He said his feet hurt when he sits for too long on the floor. Why is that so? How do we treat this?

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

Hello and thank you for contacting us. The pain in the feet can be due to a variety of factors. One of the possibilities is what we term "referred pain". This means the source of the pain would be from a site away from the foot or ankle , such as the spine. Please consult an orthopaedic doctor for assessment and evaluation.

I have a problem with pain in my shoulders if I take a bath with cold water. Is this a rheumatic condition?

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

Hello and thank you for contacting us. The pain in the shoulders can be of a rheumatological cause or it could be from other more common conditions such as inflammation or injury to the rotator cuff muscles. The rotator cuff muscles are a group of special muscles in the shoulders that can be injured. Please see an orthopaedic doctor for consultation and evaluation.

Doctor, I am 25 years old. Two days ago, when I kicked a ball, I heard a cracking sound from my knee. After that, I felt my feet lost their balance, the cracking sound persisted and now is aching a little. Is this dangerous, Doc?

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

good morning. Thank you for contacting us. The cracking of your knee while kicking the ball can result in an injury to the meniscus or ligament in the knee. This can be the reason why you feel a sensation of instability in the affected joint. Do see an orthopaedic surgeon and have an MRI scan done.

Doctor, what is the cause of calcification of knee bones? My parents were diagnosed with it.

Hello and thank you for contacting us. Calcification in the knee is usually in the meniscus. It can be due to a degenerative process or can due to diseases such as gout. It would be important to see an orthopaedic doctor to have an accurate diagnosis and treatment can be recommended.

I have a pinched nerve problem and aching hip. What is the appropriate medicine?

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

Hello and thank you for contacting us. It is common for a pinched nerve to present with pain in the hips and in the lower limbs. The treatment options will depend on the severity of the problem, and the level at which the nerve is being pinched. It can vary from taking medicines to surgery to the spine. It would be beneficial to see an orthopaedic surgeon to have the condition properly evaluated and appropriately treated.

Good evening, Doctor. My hip hurts and the pain on my knees makes it hard for me to stand. What is the medicine for this, Doc?

Ahun answered 3 years ago

Hello, Doctor. My name is Ahun, and I am 43 years old. On my neck, I have minimal spurs in the anterior side cv c3 s/d c6. A slight narrowing in intervertebral disc cv c3-c4 and foramen cv L4-L5. What is the treatment for this?

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

hello and good afternoon. Thank you for contacting us. The condition of your cervical spine is due to degeneration. The severity of the condition depends on the involvement of the bones, nerves and the discs in the affected area. If the condition is mild, simple treatment with medications and physiotherapy will suffice.

Yuspita Silalahi answered 3 years ago

Hi Doctor. I have been feeling pain in my knee for 4 years. My orthopedic doctor said it is due to a narrowing joint. I have received 7 injections and also had therapy. What is the treatment for this? I am 61 years old.

dr. Lee Eu Jin replied 3 years ago

hello and good afternoon. The pain in the knee appears to be progressing, despite 7 injections. This would most commonly be due to osteoarthritis of the knee as your orthopaedic doctor had explained. You should go back and have your knee assessed again and discuss with the orthopaedic doctor what other treatment modalities are to be considered.
