What Causes Swelling In Feet And Ankles And Joint, Cervical And Lumbar Pain?

I have been hoarse for 3 months. The ENT diagnosed it as thrush from Advair and Gerd. I am now in medication for the Gerd, but I have come off of Advair. I have also been diagnosed with Aortec Stinosis and now my feet and ankles are swelling every day and very tight feeling in my lower legs. I also have extreme joint pain in cervical and lumbar. On medication for pain. Have had many procedures to reduce pain. Getting very concerned. Thank you for your opinion.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Most probable reason for your symptoms could be postural problem as you may be sitting for long time.

I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any disc bulge or spinal canal stenosis.
And also check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Medication like methylcobalamine and analgesic will reduce pain.

Some exercises which can be done include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.

You may consult physiotherapist for guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
If not relieved you can take epidural injection.


Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.
