Pectus Excavatum with 2.6-2.7 cm Concave Chest Concerns

Patient's Query

I think i have pectus excavatum i have a 2.6-2.7 cm concave chest i do not have problem in breathing but i think it might cause problem in future

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Pectus e­xcavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens be­cause of how your ribs and breastbone de­velop. Although breathing troubles can happe­n, you said you're okay there, which is good. To kee­p an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. The­y can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.

Allopurinol cause urate lowering resulting in urate crystals being shed from articular cartilage into the joint space, resulting in acute inflammation ,hence it should not be used.

wrist pain alternating between both wrists, lower back pain, knee pains resembling bruising above the knees and sometimes bruise like pain in the thighs and sharp hip pain all the way to the foot (like a pulled string feeling) - most are often after overuse (phone, walking, sleeping wrong). They don’t always happen at once but sometimes all together. Other discomforts involve stabbing pain inside the foot from under when walking for too long, finger joint pains usually worse the second day after overuse and shoulder and elbow pains after sleeping slightly wrong or overuse. Occasional Tingling/numbness in fingers (I can’t feel my fingers for a few seconds sometimes) and most often stiffness in finger joints occur in the mornings. Occasionally, affected areas exhibit slight redness and warmth. Recently I’ve found that stretching the pained areas helps a lot. General tiredness persists. These symptoms have persisted for nearly a year, fluctuating in severity. There haven't been any major accidents. Tests * anti ds dna is negative * HLA-B27 is negative * Ana is positive — * RF factor negative. * Knee X-Ray shows some cartilage thinning * MRI done: report says Signal loss due to degeneration was observed in the L4-5 disc * vitamin d3 at 28

You need to rest and avoid excessive strain. You may take pain killers, try heat or cold therapy. Do gentle stretching exercises and maintain good posture.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

Hello I’m male 40 aged Fall down from scooter extact 2 weeks. This is my chest CT scan. I have no issue in breathing. Having little pain back side while walking. I have left collor bone have air crack. Now I am in complete rest. Chest CT scan Impression: Calcified parenchymal nodules measuring 13-12mm in the left lingural. 4th rib fracture and 6th rib fracture lateral aspect with adjustent hemothorax 3rd rib fracture- posterior aspect

Male | 40

Based on your CT scan, it looks like you have some fractures in your ribs, which could be causing the pain in your back when walking. The hemothorax next to your rib fractures is a collection of blood outside your lungs. This might be making it a bit tough for you to move around comfortably. It's great that you are resting, which is really important for healing those fractures. Make sure to keep monitoring your pain levels and follow up with your doctor for any further guidance.
