Could weight be a contributing factor for ankle and knee pain?
Wall weight can be a contributing factor it is most likely not the reason for you to be suffering this debilitating pain. All too often that is a quick and flippant answer provided by primary care or internal medicine physicians that don't have a clear understanding nor have done a thorough history and physical. There are a range of factors that can be part of the differential diagnosis from orthopedic problems to arthritic problems. I would encourage you to see a lower extremity specialist for a thorough consultation to determine what is the source of your discomfort. READ MORE
How to reduce the pain due to ankle sprain?
Ankle sprains are frequently under treated resulting in long-term sequelae. You need a foot and ankle specialist to determine if it is a grade I or II sprain/tear. Furthermore 20% of these injuries have an osteochondral defect or fracture associated with it and require an MRI. Failure to seek appropriate acute tear often results in long term injury, frequent re-sprains, of permanent DJD/osteoarthritis. The correct diagnosis is often missed in the emergency room. Seek the care of a Foot and Ankle specialist immediately. READ MORE
