Health

I am 52 years old active man , i have a left side back pain( above left hip) ) , the problem become severe when i on bed ( sleeping) .. otherwise no such problem occurred during my daily work.. pls guide

Ans: Hello Ashim,

Thank you for reaching out. I recommend consulting a physiotherapist for a personalized assessment and treatment plan. Based on your description of left-side back pain that worsens during sleep, it’s essential to examine your sleeping position and mattress quality. If you sleep on your back, try placing a pillow under your knees to maintain the natural curve of your spine. For side sleepers, a pillow between the knees can help keep the hips aligned. It’s also important to evaluate your mattress; a medium-firm option is typically best for support. Incorporating gentle stretches, such as Child’s Pose and knee-to-chest stretches, can help relieve tension, while strengthening exercises for your core and glutes will further support your back. Wishing you a swift recovery!

Sir, I m 53, am Diabetic since 8 yrs. my HBA1C is between 6-7. I am doing well but recently in a month I have a left side low back/hip pain (point) going down along the outerside thigh bone till knee. Pain is more when I seated. There is feel of pull and radiating pain from low back to thigh to knee.( Just like one line). I do 1 hr walking everyday. The pain killers like Zerodol SP a course didi not help me. Kindly advise for the right therapy, course of action.Thank you Dr

Ans: Hello Sir. To address your symptoms, it's crucial to consult a physiotherapist for a detailed assessment and diagnosis. A physiotherapist can then design a personalized exercise and treatment plan for you, which may include stretching exercises to relieve nerve pressure, strengthening exercises for your back and hip muscles, and posture correction techniques to prevent further strain. Depending on the assessment, imaging studies such as an MRI or X-ray may be recommended to provide a clear picture of your spine and hip condition. I wish you quick recovery.

Health

Madam, i am 38yrs old last 3-4 months i am suffering back pain and front pain hip side.

Ans: Hello Soubhagy,
Have you done an x-ray? have you done your blood reports recently?
When is your pain worse? When is it better? How did it start? How is your overall diet? Are you overweight? Are you sitting for long hours?
It would be best for you to visit an orthopedic or physiotherapist once as they need to understand the root cause of your back pain and accordingly help you out.
All the best!

Career

Hi My daughter get 72 percentile in jee mains 1 i dont know what happened to her otherwise she is a good student scored 94% in her 10th boards ..if i will look for some private engineering college in india pls suggest i will go with pune or will look for management quota seat for csc from banglore. Pls suggest preference order of btech college in banglore

Ans: Hello Vandana.
Requesting you not to panic at this early stage. Let her appear for JEE session 2 and the state-level engineering entrance test. Let all the results out. You have ample time to think about the available options for engineering admission. At this stage, no need to think about management quota unless and until you want a particular branch in a particular college. Depending on her score in upcoming exams, she may get admission to reputed engineering either in Pune or Bengaluru
Here are some colleges in Bengaluru: (1) R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE) (2) B.M.S. College of Engineering (BMSCE) (3) M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) (4) PES University (5) Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) (6) Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) (7) Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) (8) BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT&M) (9) Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT) (10) RNS Institute of Technology (RNSIT)
Suggestion - Don't panic. Keep cool yourself. Ask your daughter to focus more on JEE 2nd attempt and state-level engineering entrance test.

If you are satisfied with the reply, pl follow me or else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
