Spinal cord complete injury

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

Complete spinal cord injuries often result in permanent disability, and the exact level and severity depend on the location of the spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation therapy, assistive devices, and adaptive strategies are often used to help those with complete spinal cord injuries to regain as much independence and functionality as possible. Recovery from a complete spinal cord injury can be limited, but there have been improved outcomes for some.

Muscle knots due to stress all over back and neck. Very healthy but slightly high lymphocyte count but doctors say its fine. I am so freaked out

Female | 15

Muscle knots are usually caused by stress. Stress & tension later develops in the form of muscle tightness and discomfort called muscle spasms.
Regarding your slightly high lymphocyte count, if your doctors have reassured you that it is not a cause for concern, it's generally best to trust their expertise. Minor variations in blood cell counts can occur without indicating a serious health issue.

I had an accident on November 27 2022, A cut near my right hand wrist and later I had stitches on it now my last two fingers are not working properly

Male | 22

Consult an orthopedist soon if you're experiencing reduced function in your fingers after a wrist injury and stitches. The cause of your symptoms may be nerve damage or reduced blood flow to the affected area, which results from certain types of injuries or surgical procedures.

A couple of days ago I was getting up off the floor after some push ups and lost my balance a bit and felt several cracks/pops from my left knee. I was crouching on the balls of my feet falling backwards and to try to regain balance I was leaning my knees forward in full flexion, with my thighs pressing onto my calves. I kind of collapsed one the spot, more due to surprise than in pain but it was sore after that. Now it's not really hindering me while I'm on my feet at all aside from a sense of fragility if that makes sense, though that could be more mental to be honest. However I do start to feel a tiny bit of pain and a combination of discomfort and weakness when I flex my knee approaching a 90 degrees with my thigh, both behind my knee around the end of my thigh and on top of my knee towards the outside and a bit below the kneecap.

Male | 25

Flexing your knee at around 90 degrees causes pain behind and on top of the knee. It's essential to seek medical advice to diagnose and treat the issue properly. Avoid putting stress on the knee and consider resting and elevating it until you see an orthopedist.

Back burning and chubhan

Male | 25

This might be a result of many things like straining your muscles, sleeping in a bad position, or even having problems with the nerves. You may also experience it if you have been sitting or standing for long periods or lifting heavy objects. To relieve this, you can do some gentle stretching exercises, correct your posture, and use warm pads. In case this feeling continues, visit an orthopedist.

I am 16 years old and my left knee joint is paining from yesterday night and I haved X ray the joint can you check my x ray and tell me what is the problem

Male | 16

The knee joint has a little swelling. This swelling could happen due to an injury, for instance, a sprain or strain, or perhaps an overuse. The pain you are suffering from is the common symptom of this inflammation. To aid your condition, I suggest you rest your knee, apply ice, and do easy workouts to develop the muscles around your knee. If the pain remains, you may have to visit an orthopedist to make sure everything is fine.

I'm a 18 year old female and I've been having cramps in my left hand, mainly from elbow under to wrist and my fingers feel kind of stiff. It happened for the first time 3/4 days ago and went away automatically in about 20 mins. It happened twice today and again went on it's own. Nothing done to trigger it. A bit of neck pain. Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache. I can't call it painful as it does not cause pain but a bit uncomfortable.

I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz

Male | 43

It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.

Female | 18

If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

I have pain in the ring finger of my left hand, I also have a lot of pain in my left leg, I also have pain in the nerves of my hips and this pain goes from the back to the neck, goes all over the back, and I also have pain under my left breast and feel very weak in the abdominal area.

Female | 17

You have been suffering from severe pain and discomfort in many parts of your body. The discomfort in your fingers, legs, hips, back, neck, and the area under your breast, besides a loss of strength in your abdominal area, can be nerve problems or an injured muscle. It is paramount for an orthopedist to thoroughly check and give an exact diagnosis to receive the correct treatment for your symptoms.
