Have you tried? was it good to go for Hijama?

Dr. emmad in karachi is a neurosurgeon at civil hospital I have worked with him when I was doing my house job, he is good with hijama and neurosurgery. He sits near KESC defence main office as far as I remember, he gave me his card but I lost it.

Hi few years ago I had an accident on bike.. Which resulted in grade 3 tear of acl in my knee.

It was treated by rest. Therapy. And takore.

Couple of weeks ago my motorcycle tube blasted and I luckily avoided a fall or crash but but I stopped it with my feet which gave me pain in knee.

Went after a week to doctor in shifa hospital showed him old mri and xray. They advised exercises. I am still having pain should I continue them? I can walk somehow normally but with pain..

I looked on net about it it seems pretty grave damage to knee and requires very devastating surgery followed by pretty long rest of few months .. What I am at loss to understand is that if it's grade 3 tear which means complete tear then how it recovered ? How I was almost normal worth it?

He might advise mri after second checkup with him if he felt the need..

I am feeling pretty tired in that leg.

Well there are two conditions from what I can understand, either when you were diagnosed in the first instance with grade 3 tear it was wrong meaning it was not grade 3 or second instance can be, doctor thought that it is a grade 3 tear but as you are not involved in sports or much activity and the knee is also quite stable so the doctor might have taken the conservative approach. It can recover with conservative approach, as it does in old people who cannot undergo surgery but the strength of the ACL is not to the extent as those who have undergone surgery.

In your current situation as it was not surgically corrected so there is a chance that the tear might have taken place again, so best thing is to continue the exercises do not stop them or it will aggravate the condition. Because when you are exercising it strengthens the muscles which help in stabilizing the joint hence reducing the pain and extent of damage. If I were you I would get another fresh MRI even if doctor has not told so. X rays are near useless in such tears.

The other thing is, it is not at all a devastating surgery, if you do it arthroscopically a camera is inserted through a small hole and graft is placed. So do not fear so much even if you have to go for surgery, but make sure you go to a very good orthopedic surgeon if you require surgery. Dr. Aamer Nabi Nur seems to be better of the three of what I can find on shifa international website.

The condition you are describing is a spot on diagnosis called plantar fasciitis. Very common. The treatment is painkillers and stretching exercises. If all of these fail then go for steroid injection in your foot but this will give temporary relief, lastly there is surgery as well. The closet differential diagnosis is tarsal tunnel syndrome, in that when you wake up and put your foot down there is no pain as soon a you start to walk there is sever pain.

This is treated by a orthopedic surgeon because it is a common case in orthopedic wards in pakistan but our regular or even the most renowned general physicians do not have a clue about this condition. I am forwarding you some articles read them:

As far as I have read this lakra kakra is chickenpox in medical terms. Obviously it occurs in children but less commonly in adults. And the presentation you are telling is no way in the world of chicken pox. Antibiotic you are telling velodim is velosef and in no way it is the treatment for chickenpox, for that matter chickenpox has no treatment, it only has a vaccine for prevention. So this proves either the doctor is wrong meaning he did not even have a clue what is your condition or he might not be a doctor. Please I insist again and again to all of you ask your doctors about your condition in detail and get them in writing what is their diagnosis in english on the prescription they are giving you, then come home and search on the net what they are saying is correct or not. Most of our docs just do not like to talk and get angry when patients ask questions.

As far as I can tell this is looking like allergic dermatitis or may be psoriasis or ringworm. But cannot tell you anything without a picture. So kindly PM me a pic or share it here. Or another option go to a good dermatologist I can tell you very good ones in lahore, please avoid such doctors whom you cannot differentiate from quacks.

Please do not mind my lecture and forgive me if I was harsh.

So that is why I am saying you have plantar fasciitis thats it.

Read my post correctly and thoroughly i say you have plantar fasciitis in the first line and you do not have tarsal tunnel syndrome I just added tarsal tunnel syndrome so you can understand the difference.

Secondly do not read the symptom portion of the links I forwarded you or you will get confused I only forwarded the links so you can see the stretching exercises and other treatments.

You did not tell me where do you live so I can suggest a good orthopedic surgeon.

Nothing can be done medically. Try natural treatments google it and you will get some home remedies. Please avoid the hakeems and herbalists sitting here and there.

Try contacting government hospitals, like go to civil hospital, jinnah hospital or abbasi hospital. Or may be khidmat-e-khalq foundation, edhi or chippa might help. Other than this there are no options. You can get all their phone no. from the net google them.

For cheap treatments of any condition you can go to indus hospital korangi or DOW university ojha campus near suparco.
