Movement problem of limbs. Can't walk and hold any thing with hands. Pain on legs and hands.

Hello Prema Ji,

Knee locking and knee pain can happen due to several reasons, such as:

🔹 Meniscus Tear – A torn cartilage in the knee can get stuck, causing pain and difficulty in movement.
🔹 Ligament Injury – Damage to ligaments, such as ACL injuries, can lead to instability and locking.
🔹 Osteoarthritis – Wear and tear of knee joints can cause stiffness, pain, and locking, especially in older adults.

What You Can Do Now:

✅ Rest & Avoid Strain – Try not to put excess pressure on the knee.
✅ Apply Ice – This helps reduce swelling and pain. Use an ice pack for 15-20 minutes at a time.
✅ Gentle Knee Movements – If possible, try slow, controlled bending and straightening of the knee.
✅ Pain Relief Medication – Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen may help, but consult a doctor before use.
✅ Physiotherapy – Strengthening exercises guided by a physiotherapist can help in many cases.

Since you are unable to walk properly, we highly recommend seeing an orthopaedic doctor as soon as possible. An X-ray or MRI may be needed to diagnose the exact cause of the problem and provide the right treatment.

Please take care, and let us know if you need more guidance!

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello Vijay Ji,

To provide the best advice, we need a little more information:

1️⃣ How long have you had the pain? (Days, weeks, or months?)
2️⃣ Where exactly is the pain? (Lower back, upper back, or middle back?)
3️⃣ Is the pain constant, or does it come and go?
4️⃣ Did the pain start after lifting something heavy or an injury?
5️⃣ Do you feel numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs?
6️⃣ Does the pain worsen with movement or while resting?
7️⃣ Do you have any existing medical conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or diabetes?

Precautions & Self-Care Tips:

✅ Rest, but avoid complete bed rest – Too much inactivity can worsen back pain.
✅ Apply Ice or Heat – Ice packs (first 48 hours) can reduce inflammation; heat (after 48 hours) helps relax muscles.
✅ Maintain Good Posture – Sit and stand straight to avoid straining your back.
✅ Gentle Stretching & Walking – Helps improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.
✅ Avoid Heavy Lifting – If necessary, bend your knees and keep your back straight.
✅ Use a Supportive Mattress – A firm or orthopaedic mattress can help relieve pain.

When to See a Doctor?

🚩 If pain lasts more than 2 weeks or worsens
🚩 If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your legs
🚩 If pain is severe at night or wakes you up
🚩 If you have fever, weight loss, or difficulty controlling urine/stool

If your pain is mild to moderate, physical therapy, posture correction, and simple pain relievers may help. However, if your pain is persistent or severe, a doctor's evaluation, X-ray, or MRI may be needed to check for issues like a herniated disc or arthritis.

Hello Suraj,

ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury can be treated, and the right approach depends on the severity of the tear and your activity level.

Treatment Options:

👉 Non-Surgical Treatment: If the tear is partial or if you have a low activity level, physiotherapy, bracing, and strengthening exercises may help stabilize the knee.

👉 Surgical Treatment: If the ACL is completely torn and you want to return to an active lifestyle (sports, heavy work, etc.), ACL reconstruction surgery is usually recommended.

With advancements like keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery, the procedure involves smaller cuts, less pain, and faster healing. The use of autografts or allografts provides better stability and long-term success. Improved surgical techniques also help in faster recovery and reduce the risk of re-injury, allowing patients to return to an active lifestyle within 6-9 months.
