View allMy wife has been on steroids for a week due to her higher ESR rate, and I'm a bit worried because she's recently developed some swelling around her knee. Could the swelling be a side effect of the steroids? Would love to know what you think.
Steroids can indeed cause side effects, including swelling in the legs. This swelling is known as peripheral edema and can be a result of fluid retention caused by the steroids. It is important to monitor this side effect and inform your doctor about it. In the meantime, elevating the legs and reducing salt intake may help alleviate the swelling.

I've been dealing with a really sharp pain in two of my left foot fingers for the last couple of days. Its weird because there's no swelling, and I haven't injured myself or anything. A few years ago, I got some physiotherapy treatment for ankylosing spondylitis at the Indian Spinal Centre in Delhi. Could this foot pain be connected to that, or is it something completely different? I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I should be worried about.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with leg pain and swelling for the past year, and nothing seems to be helping. We've done all the tests the doctor recommended, like thyroid checks and X-rays, and they all came back negative. We even tried two months of massage and Ayurvedic treatment, but there's no improvement. The swelling and pain are so bad she can hardly walk. What do you suggest we do next?
Most leg pain results from wear and tear, overuse, or injuries in joints or bones or in muscles, ligaments, tendons or other soft tissues. Some types of leg pain can be traced to problems in your lower spine. Leg pain can also be caused by blood clots, varicose veins or poor circulation. .. . To relieve mild pain and swelling: Stay off your leg as much as possible, Apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15 to 20 minutes three times a day, Elevate your leg whenever you sit or lie down, Try over-the-counter pain relievers .
