Suggest treatment for sharp pain in the left shin
Answered by
Neuralgia vs tendinitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
Such type of pain besides the shin mostly can occur due to 2 reasons-
1. Neuralgia- Inflammation of the anterior tibial nerve in the anterior part of the leg causes such shooting pain across the shin and sometimes radiates to the thigh region.
2.Tendinitis- An unknown stress over the leg tendon causes pain while standing from sitting position.
I hope you do not have a fever or tingling sensation in the affected area.
Do you have back pain?
I would suggest you to take anti inflammatory tablets like tramadol,paracetamol along with methylcobalamin and pregabalin tablets. These will reduce the inflammation of the nerves and tendons.
Applying local analgesic gel and linseed oil locally over the painful areas twice a day followed by hot fomentation will reduce the pain to considerable extent.
A compression bandage should be worn from ankle till the knee while ambulating and walking.Once you are at rest,it can be removed.
If the pain does not subside by these measures,you should consult your doctor.
AVOID- sitting cross legged and squatting.
I hope the answer was useful to you.
You can get back to me anytime if have any doubts.
Thank you.

MD Two days ago I started getting occasional sharp pain inside my right ear and occasional shooting pains in my head, also on the right side. My head feels a little tender in that spot. I also noticed some small, painless lumps on my jaw line under my right ear. I have no idea if they re related to the other symptoms. Any ideas what this could be?
MD My period is now 16 days late, and it is very regular...I use a menstruation tracker. I have been feeling sick to my stomach, getting headaches, severe backaches, and feeling dizzy. I did take a pregnancy test, but it was negative, so I wasn't too worried because I am on the pill (although there were probably a few times where I forgot to take it and then doubled up the next night). Suddenly today, I started getting severe sharp pains in my lower abdomen (mostly on the left side, but radiating to both sides) and severe pains in my upper abdomen, like I was going to throw up...I feel weak and started to have bright red bleeding, although it isn't heavy. all day today before the pain, I was having brown discharge that had stringy clots in it. I am debating on visiting the ER and wanted to ask your opinion.
