Very red hands and feet which have a tingling feeling?
Maybe something to do with your nervous system or a torn tissue.
Maybe go see your gp.
How do you get rid of pain in upper right foot?
2-3 IB Profin 3 times daily with food. If it does not improve, see a doctor.
Can you use your cane on the injured side?
no, because if you use your cane on your injured side you have to lean on the cane which puts pressure on your injury.
if you have the cane on the opposite side as your injury then you can put pressure on that side which will relax your injury
Why is there bruising on a broken toe?
When the bone in the toe was broken, there were also blood vessels that were ripped, torn or cut. The bruising is a result of the broken blood vessels; the color is from red blood cells that are sitting in the extravascular space. Over the course of a couple weeks the bruising should go away.
Heel spurs will only go away if they are surgically removed. These spurs may however grow back under the right conditions.
Inflammation of the fascia is known as what?
Foot drop is a symptom of an underlying problem, rather than a disease itself. It can be temporary or permanent. Causes of foot drop include:
- nerve injury
- brain or spinal disorders
- muscle disorders
What can a person do to prevent heel spurs?
the use of proper foot wear . any underlying associated medical condition should be optimally managed
Do you need a cast for a dislocated thumb?
yes they do put a cast on but they can sometimes put a spica thumb splint on it depending upon how badly broken it is but if it is really bad they might have to operate but that is very rare.
What would cause your right hand to ache?
If it has a numbness and aching feeling to it and it effects the first three fingers and symptoms are worse at night you should be evaluated for carpal tunnel symptoms. If you have finger joint pain and stiffness that starts in the morning and gets better as you move around that may be arthritis. If you have pain that gets worse with movement and it feels like it's on the top of your hand, this could be tendonitis.
Should i put my sprained ankle in cold water first or hot water?
Generally, after 24 hours.
In the first minutes and hours following the injury, follow the acronym RICE:
Rest it,
Ice it (to reduce swelling, but for no more than 20 minutes at a time),
Compress (wrap) it,
Elevate it (above the level of the heart, which for an injured ankle usually means lying down).
Once the initial damage has been minimized by doing the above, providing heat will increase blood flow, speeding nutrients to the site of the injury and promoting healing.
THe wrist may be swollen and tender and it may hurt when the wrist is moved or has to bear weight. Sometimes the wrist can look a bit out of shape. If you do suspect a fracture, get to the hospital as soon as possible.
What causes foot pain on the bottom of your feet?

How do you fracture foot no pain?
While most foot fractures are painful, you can't use pain as a diagnostic to prove a fracture. Unless you can see deformity of the bone, or you're unlucky enough to suffer a compound fractor (where the bone protrudes through the skin), pain alone is not the gold standard for diagnosing a fracture. I've frequently heard people tell me that sprains and serious contusions actually caused them more pain than a fracture in tyhe approximate area. This is even moreso the case in that treatment for an injury may be identical, be it a bad sprain or a simple fracture. Likewise, you can indeed palpate a deformity of the bone resulant from a fracture without it resulting in serious pain. The only problem is that the bump you're feeling may or may not be a fracture. The only way to tell for certain if it's a fracture is either imagery (x-ray, CT Scan, MRI and the like), or intrusive measures like surgery, which are in almost every case counterindicated. In summary, the answer to your problem is Yes, but you can't really tell if what you're feeling is a fracture.
What might be causing your left hand and fingers to twitch?
There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling:
- Sitting or standing in the same position for a long time
- Injuring a nerve (a neck injury may cause you to feel numbness anywhere along your arm or hand, while a low back injury can cause numbness or tingling down the back of your leg)
- Pressure on the nerves of the spine, such as from a herniated disk
- Pressure on peripheral nerves from enlarged blood vessels, tumors, scar tissue, or infection
- Shingles or herpes zoster infection
- Lack of blood supply to an area, such as from atherosclerosis, frostbite, or vessel inflammation (vasculitis)
- Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body
- A lack of vitamin B12 or other vitamin
- Use of certain medications
- Nerve damage due to lead, alcohol, tobacco or chemotherapy drugs
- Radiation therapy
- Animal bites
- Insect, tick, mite, and spider bites
- Seafood toxins
- Nerve entrapment from the muscle (Nerves pass through multiple locations in your muscle. When scar tissue builds up sometimes the nerves get "trapped" or compressed between the soft tissue. This can also cause a tingling/numbness sensation)
medical conditions, including:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (pressure on a nerve at the wrist)
- Diabetes
- Migraines
- Multiple sclerosis
- Seizures
- Stroke
- Transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes called a "mini-stroke"
- Underactive thyroid
- Raynaud's phenomenon (narrowing of the blood vessels, usually in the hands and feet)
What could a painful lump below the back of the knee be?
i don't know but i got it as well just below the knee is it small and hard?
i believe it could be a condition known as "Osgood Schlatters Disease"
"A small, tender, bony bump may develop a few centimetres below the kneecap. This occurs where the patella ligament attaches to the tibia ('shin bone'). The small bump is permanent, although in time it becomes painless."
taken from patient.co.uk
or you could say osgood schlatters disease/or osteochondritis....inflammation of the tip of the tibia below the knee cap usually from adolescent growth and physical activity such as sports
How can you tell if your hand or wrist is broken?
1. if the area is area around the fracture swollen
2. Finger pressure over the fracture causes severe pain
3. You can't move the hurt part.
4. It may look deformed (if the bones are not displaced, it will not look deformed, but may still be fractured.)
These are all signs a bone could be broken.
What are black spots on your fingernails?
Ridges that run vertically are often caused by natural aging. In some cases, however, they can be an indication of nail injury, rheumatoid arthritis, various skin conditions, or poor nutrition. Horizontal ridges or lumps may be a sign of a serious health issue, such as a tumor or chronic illness.
How do you get rid of heel spurs?
Many people have eliminated heel spurs without surgery by supplementing their diet with a good calcium formula. To understand this, it is important to understand how heel spurs form. Our conclusion is this:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body but may also be the most deficient. The amount of calcium that we absorb from our food varies widely. Our age is one factor. An adolescent may absorb up to 75% of the calcium obtained from foods, while in adults the maximum absorption rate ranges from 20% to 30%.
Even though our bones feel solid and seem permanent they're just like any other body tissue - they're constantly being broken down and formed again. In an adult, 20 percent of bone calcium is withdrawn from bones and replaced each year. Thus, every five years the bones are renewed.
Calcium is found in the extra cellular fluids and soft tissues of the body where it is vital to normal cell functioning. Much of the calcium in soft tissues is concentrated in muscle, although it is contained in the membrane and cytoplasm of every cell.
When the body is deficient of calcium it begins to leach calcium from the bones. In many people this happens to be in the heel of the foot or some other weak area of the body. As the calcium is being leached, it forms an eruption (similar to a volcano). This eruption is the bone spur.
Many people that have suffered from bone spurs found relief when they properly supplemented their diet daily with "good" calcium. They found that providing their body with "good" calcium along with other vital minerals stopped the "leaching process" (calcium deficiency) thus allowing the bone spur to shrink down and eventually disappear. With the bone spur gone, the surrounding damage from the spur is able to heal also.
Important: The calcium+ must be carefully formulated to be easily digested to accomplish the "good" calcium environment in building healthy body/bone cells.
What causes of hand and foot cramps?
This problem can be caused by an under active thyroid. However cramping can also be the result of mineral and salts deficiency, however what ever the cause it may be wise to consult a physician if the problem persists. Many people would put this down to a problem with arthritis, however that would not be consistent with an arthict problem as arthritis is a joint disease which can attack muscle but will not cause cramping.
most likely arthritis. there are water therapy classes, check out the arthritis foundation. focuses on movement of all joints with minimal resistance created by warm water. the water must be 86 degrees. check out pools near you as well. the arthritis instructor could be of some help. a doctors opinion would be good as well.
Your questions wasn't specific enough but i get that sometimes. I'll stretch my legs and straighten them as much as possible then my toes start to cramp up and i cant move them any more.. TEMPORARILY though. for maybe 10-30 seconds and man does it hurt. I'm guessing its your muscle being stretched farther then it is used to or then it can and it starts to stop working to get you to relax.
Are feet in nylon more ticklish?
Feet in nylon can be more ticklish for some people due to the combination of the fabric's texture and its ability to create a heightened sensory experience. The smooth and often slightly restrictive nature of nylon may enhance sensitivity, making the skin more reactive to touch. Additionally, the psychological aspect of wearing nylon can amplify ticklish sensations, as it may elicit different feelings compared to bare skin. However, ticklishness varies greatly among individuals, so experiences may differ.
First what you do is cut the pinkie a Little at the joint then soak it in 2 cups of warm water that has 2 tsp. of salt and 5 tsp. of peroxide.
How do you say the word pain in Latin?

What is causing your right foot to sting inside along the right side of your foot?
There are too many possibilities to say with certainty without an exam by a health care professional such as your primary doctor or a podiatrist, which would be recommended if this persists.
Some common causes would include:
Plantar fasciitis - inflammation of the fascia tissue connected to the heel and bottom of your foot, especially if the pain is first thing in the morning (which can be aggravated or caused by lack of good arch support in your shoes.)
Diabetic neuropathy - nerve damage in your feet due to long term or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
Nerve damage - could be temporary from minor bruising of nerves from trauma or from repetitive pressure on the nerves of the foot, poorly fitted shoes, etc. Can sometimes become permanent if evaluation and treatment is delayed.
Bunion pain - if the pain/stinging is near the joint at the base of the big toe.
Insect bites or stings.
Tumors of the tissues of the foot pressing on nerves.
Neuromas -" tumors of the nerves", more appropriately called swelling in the nerves, since not actual tumors.
Toxic exposure to some chemicals causing nerve damage.
Other Neuropathy - e.g., from chronic kidney disease or alcoholism/liver disease.
Vitamin B deficiency.
Septic arthritis.
What could be the cause of a pain in the right heel when standing or when you sit and then get up?
Plantar fasciitis(heel pain)
Occupation: Standing workers,walking people are generally suffered from it.
AGE GROUP:40-60 YRS USUALLY SUFFERED
AS A RESULT OF OSSIFICATION OF PLANTAR FASCIA GIVE RISE TO CALCANEAN SPUR(Demonstrated by radiograph).THERE IS PAIN,TENDERNESS AND SWELLING IN THAT AREA.
It can be managed by having proper homoeopathic treatment
