View allI'm really worried because we've had to increase the insulin dose to get blood sugar under control, and now there's swelling in the face and feet. Could this be a side effect of more insulin? What should we do about it?

Given your history of previous shin bone injuries, it's essential to take this injury seriously and follow a proper recovery plan. *Immediate Action* 1. *Stop activity*: Avoid putting weight on the injured leg or engaging in any physical activity that may exacerbate the injury. 2. *Apply RICE principle*: - Rest: Give your leg a break and avoid activities that aggravate the injury. - Ice: Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. - Compression: Use an elastic bandage or compression wrap to help reduce swelling. - Elevation: Elevate your leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Pain management*: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and inflammation. *Medical Attention* Consider visiting an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. They may recommend: 1. *X-rays or imaging tests*: To rule out any fractures or other underlying conditions. 2. *Physical therapy*: To help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected leg. 3. *Customized rehabilitation plan*: To ensure a safe and effective return to sports. *Recovery and Prevention* 1. *Gradual return to activity*: Once cleared by your doctor, gradually return to football and other physical activities to avoid re-injury. 2. *Wear proper gear*: Always wear shin guards and other protective gear during football games and practices. 3. *Strengthen your legs*: Engage in exercises that strengthen your leg muscles, particularly the anterior tibialis muscle, to help prevent future injuries.

I really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.
