What's the fastest way to heal a ligament or tendon injury? I was attending a wedding function where we danced so much. The following day, I could barely fold my legs or put my foot down. The doc said I have a ligament injury. I took some medications but the pain reoccurs at weird times. What should I do?

Ans: Dear anonymous,
Have you taken the x-ray and MRI of the elbow? If yes, what does that show? If not then MRI of the elbow should be done. Let me know what the reports show, will be able to guide you accordingly.

Ans: Hello Sedrick,
There are some muscles that connect the wrist and elbow so maybe you have strained that muscle.
Usually icing for 10 minutes followed by hot packs for 10 minutes relieves the pain. You can apply any pain relief gel like Volini post the icing and hot packs. This can be done twice a day for 3 days.
If still not better than please show to an orthopedic or physiotherapist.

Ans: Hi Harisankar,
To get rid of knee pain you can work on improving the strength of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles primarily. Also it’s best to diagnose the cause of the pain before you start with any exercise

Ans: Hello Dinesh,
Are you taking important supplements like Vit d3, Vit B12, Calcium, magnesium or have you done your recent blood work to test all these?
What treatment are they doing in the physiotherapy sessions? Are they doing cupping therapy, dry needling, myofascial release?
For strength training are you doing under guidance and fine tuning your core muscles and mainly hip rotators?
Before walking/running are you doing 10 minutes warm up and post the run a proper 10 minutes of stretches to cool down?
It would be a good to also do a dynamic foot scan to understand how your foot pressures are happening as at times a customized foot wear helps a lot.
You would need an in depth evaluation and proper physiotherapy rehabilitation in a very systematic way.
Which city are you from?
