Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. From the history, it sounds more like a muscle strain or you can say it is DOMS which is sometimes common as one lands or take a flight for taking up the shot but the pain is not reducing, is not making things clear, whether it is a DOMS or muscle strain as both of it should resolve within 3-4 days. So what I can advice is to continue with TENS and take proper rest. TENS will never make the injury worse. It's a modality for reducing pain.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. What I see there might be some changes in the muscles which may have led to compression over the lymph nodes? Few basic things to ask before I proceed. Are you having pain in the neck? Is the pain sharp shooting or dull aching? Are you feeling any kind of muscle tightness near the neck? Any signs of swelling? The pain in the knee and wrist can be of different pathology and need a different approach. Coming back to the history, the swelling in lymph node if you suspect then you need a physician approach than the chiropractor. We need to check out why the lymph nodes got swollen.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thank you for providing the brief history. As per your query, it can be either of the things in the mind, but I would like to know if you are using more of a computer, or having any respiratory problems in the past, or did you had a fall. If there are no respiratory problems and no direct injury, then it should be a trapezius muscle spasm that can happen due to abnormal posture or carrying extra baggage. You need to do strengthening exercises, and free exercises for the same as this will help the muscle to become more functional.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I do not think that because of a chiropractor, there will be any trouble with the lymph node. If the pain is radiating in nature, then it can be related to intervertebral disc injury which can be a past injury and due to which you had a sore neck. As the intervertebral discs are located in between the two vertebral bodies and the muscles are the supporting structures any trouble with the disc can first make the muscle sore and change the normal curvature of the cervical spine. The radiating symptoms can arise due to nerve root entrapment by the muscle as well as the intervertebral disc.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The spondylosis has caused a reduction in the intervertebral spaces. This occurs due to the weakness of the muscles of the neck. I will advise following the exercises which help regain muscle strength and improve the space in the intervertebral cervical region. Activities include static neck exercises and neck stretching exercises.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Sorry to hear about the injury. The first thing you should do now is to take an X-ray for a safety case. Ignoring cannot be beneficial. Usually, the fracture is uncommon but still have to take an X-ray to rule out any fracture possibility.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It sounds more like the lower back ligament sprain. You may have injured the back. The first thing to do is to look for an MRI, like any soft tissue Injury if not focused, then might become chronic. I will advise you to do some exercises for strengthening the paraspinal muscles.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. What I feel is mixed martial arts would damage the tissue more for now until we come up to some level of muscle strength. I would advise you to focus on some exercises which are listed below. This exercise should be gradually increased from week to week and continued for 12 to 15 weeks. First set of exercise to lay on your back and performed for both the lower limbs.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The doctor you consulted is right. These symptoms can be caused due to a slipped disc. To confirm this and we may need to take up an MRI of the lumbar spine. Also, the piriformis syndrome symptoms are similar, but they are not radiating in symptoms as piriformis muscle tightness may lead to compression over the nerve root and can misguide the diagnosis.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As it is a year-old injury now I will suggest doing some physical tests like the McKenzie maneuver to see if the radiating symptoms stop and the pain gets centralized to the lower back. The McKenzie maneuver is simple, and you can read about it and practice it. Now I think there is still a muscle weakness that is leading to nerve root entrapment like the lateral spinal muscles, paraspinal muscles, hip muscles, etc. I advise you to not use cold therapy as it is aggravating the pain symptoms.
