Impinged nerves (from spinal stenosis) not only innervate muscles and skin...they also innervate organ and gland physiology! That is the result of mechanical stenosis! Find a well READ MORE
Impinged nerves (from spinal stenosis) not only innervate muscles and skin...they also innervate organ and gland physiology! That is the result of mechanical stenosis! Find a well trained Chiro that will not twist your spine because stenosis is the direct result of a vertebrae that has shifted backwards and this causes narrowing of the openings in your spine that house the spinal nerves...I talk about stenosis on my website www.FIX24WellnessSudio.com

Depending on how much trauma you sustained, I wouldn't suspect a fracture based upon those pictures...I suggest ice and elevate a few more days. try to avoid locking the leg out as this will prolong the healing. keep the leg slightly flexed. Swelling after a week or so that does not go away...may have to see your Doc.

Yes.. as long as the joint is not twisted! A bulging disc is the result of a malaligned vertebrae. The disc is mostly fluid and acts like a water balloon. if you step on a water balloon at an angle...the ballon will bulge away from the compression. When a vertebrae shifts backwards, from bending forward or looking down too much, the vertebrae will compress the disc at an angle and cause the bulge.

Roll up a towel and place it behind the knee joint...grab your lower leg and gently flex your foot towards your rear-end cheek on the same side...hold for ten seconds....repeat!
