Physiotherapist - Answered on Aug 23, 2024

I am 72 year old, active, regularly go for walk and exercise regularly. I had my spine surgery 6 months back. I am doing better now except for getting cramps on my feet and leg at middle of night almost every day. I used to take evion lc for a month on doctors advice, which helped me for a while and started reoccurring again for the past 2 months. Please provide me some solution.
Ans: Dear Sir, Than you for your query. As I am a Physiotherapist, my advise would be from Physiotherapy perspective. Considering your history of spine surgery and the recurring cramps in your feet and legs, here are some physiotherapy strategies that might help.Start with stretching exercises before bed. For instance, you can try a calf stretch by standing facing a wall, placing your hands on the wall, and stepping one leg back while keeping the heel on the ground. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds and then switch sides. You can also do a hamstring stretch by sitting on the edge of a chair with one leg extended straight out. Lean forward slightly while keeping your back straight until you feel a stretch in the back of your thigh, holding it for 20-30 seconds on each leg.

In addition, focus on ankle and foot mobility. Perform ankle circles while sitting or lying down by rotating your ankles for 20-30 seconds in each direction. You can also point and flex your toes slowly, holding each position for 5 seconds and repeating 10-15 times.Incorporate strengthening exercises like heel raises. Stand behind a chair for balance, slowly rise onto your toes, and then lower back down. Perform 2-3 sets of 10-15 reps. You can also do toe taps by sitting in a chair and lifting your toes while keeping your heels on the floor, repeating 15-20 times.Hydration and nutrition are key as well. Ensure you're well-hydrated throughout the day and consume a balanced diet rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium to support muscle function. Applying a warm compress to your feet and legs before bed can help relax tight muscles, and elevating your feet slightly when lying down or using a pillow under your calves may improve circulation and reduce cramping. Lastly, it’s recommended to consult a physiotherapist for a personalized assessment. They can provide tailored exercise program and potentially offer manual therapy techniques that specifically address your condition.
These exercises and tips can help alleviate the night cramps, but a physiotherapist’s guidance is important for long-term relief. I wish you quick recovery.

Sir, I am running one social website. I have spent around One lakhs in making and its monyhly expanse is 10,000 per monyh for updating. I believe that it is best web site but sorry to say that no body is sponsering, No advt. or thers is no readers(hits). It is like chuengum. I want to earn. But Nothing happens. My concious says continus but my economic capacity is not sound. Please guide me.
Ans: I can sense your passion for your website, and understand the frustration you must be feeling. It's clear that you've invested a lot of time, effort, and money into building something you believe in, but the returns aren't coming as expected.

This can be disheartening especially when the financial aspects weigh you down. Let's break it down and see how can you turn things around by not increasing much of your budget.

First clear this question for yourself, Who are you building this website for? You may have created what you feel is an amazing platform, but is it truly aligned with what your target audience wants? Sometimes, we get so involved in the project that we lose sight of what the users are looking for.

I suggest researching what your potential audience needs and altering your content or services accordingly. If your website isn’t hitting the mark for your audience, even the best design and investment won’t bring in traffic or sponsors.

And currently, your priority should be driving traffic. Without readers or visitors, sponsorships and ads won’t come. Start by creating valuable, shareable content that addresses real problems or interests.

Utilize social media to promote your content. Engage with communities that are interested in the niche you’re catering to. Join forums, groups, and discussions where your target audience hangs out. Organic traffic takes time, but it's the foundation for sustainable growth.

If you’re considering ads, start small. You don’t need to spend much in the beginning. Platforms like Google Ads or social media ads allow you to target specific audiences and gauge interest without spending a lot.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will help you a lot if done correctly. By optimizing your site with relevant keywords, ensuring it’s mobile-friendly, and improving loading speeds, you’ll increase your chances of being discovered organically.

Consider forming partnerships. Collaborating with other sites or influencers in your niche can expand your reach. Even a guest post on a more established platform could bring attention to your website.

If advertisers aren’t interested yet, explore other ways to earn. Affiliate marketing, premium content, or offering services can bring in income while your traffic builds.

It will surely take time but being consistent and patient is the only way. Lastly, if you feel like you’ve tried everything, don’t be afraid to pivot. Sometimes, a small tweak or a shift in focus can lead to breakthroughs.

I am 45 male married with a cute 4 year old son.Arranged marriage and wife is a teacher.Recently in the absence of my wife and son her younger sister aged 30 and married was sleeping in my bedroom wearing my wife's clothes.After returning from office i mistook her in the dark bedroom to be my wife and lip kissed her.She didn't resist which tempted me for intercourse.Now she is saying I ruined her life.I have lost sleep fearing legal action and what if she tells everyone in the family.Please help.
Ans: This is a complex and delicate situation, and the first step is to take responsibility for what happened. It seems that what started as a misunderstanding led to a situation that has spiraled out of control, and now both of you are facing the emotional and moral consequences.

Your sister-in-law's reaction, feeling that her life has been ruined, indicates deep distress, and it’s important to approach this with empathy. Apologize sincerely to her, acknowledging the mistake and the harm caused. Let her express her feelings, and be prepared to listen without defending yourself. You should make it clear that you are willing to do whatever it takes to correct the situation, even if that means keeping the matter private and ensuring that it never happens again.

As for the fear of legal action, it's understandable that you're anxious, but it’s essential to remain calm. It may help to have an open and respectful conversation with your sister-in-law to understand what she wants moving forward. If she feels betrayed or wronged, consider suggesting mediation or counseling, where a neutral third party can help resolve the situation.

Whatever happens next, it’s crucial to maintain honesty and integrity in your marriage. This experience may bring up feelings of guilt and anxiety, but how you handle it from here will shape the future. Seek legal advice if you're genuinely concerned about legal consequences, but focus on rebuilding trust and ensuring such a situation never happens again.

I am my cousin sister are in serious relationship with each other for 7 years. My and her mother are cousins. We both want to marry with each other but we know our parents never agree for this at any cost. I am a government employee. We want to marry against our family how can we approach it? Plz tell.
Ans: Given your long relationship of seven years, your bond seems strong, which is a good foundation for moving forward. However, it’s also important to be realistic about the potential fallout from family disapproval. You may want to try having a calm, private discussion with your parents, explaining that this relationship has developed over time and is not a rash decision. Focus on expressing your genuine commitment to each other and the values that you share, rather than just defending the relationship itself. They may still oppose, but at least you've shown maturity in your approach.

If family opposition remains intense, and you both are determined to move forward, you might have to proceed independently and elope or register the marriage without their blessing. Understand that this could create a rift for some time, so you’ll need to rely heavily on each other for emotional support. Over time, many families soften when they see their children are happy and stable, but that’s not always guaranteed. It’s important to make sure you're both fully prepared for the consequences, both emotionally and socially.

Also, considering professional counseling might help you both navigate this difficult situation, especially in balancing your relationship and family dynamics. Ultimately, staying strong and united as a couple will be key to overcoming whatever challenges lie ahead.
