Answers to patient questions

• General topics
  Hello, my shoulder is about a few centimeters out of place since i landed on it strangely. My question is how serious this can be since I still have full range of motion although it does feel unstable in certain positions when I do sports and which doctor I need to see to put it back into place.

  • Hello,
    You have to go to the hospital to make exams because a shoulder not stable can be serious. Never let this without seeing it by a professionnal.
    
    Take care

• Knee pain
  Hi, I think I sprained my left knee. So, I got a knee support from the pharmacy to support recovery. As a self-diagnosis, I have no problems walking, the inner side ligaments seem to be healing better, but even after 8 weeks, the knee still feel sore. I can swim, but not really run and certainly not do any contact sports. It's probably best to finally see a general doctor. After seeing a general doctor, in case it is necessary, what could be the possible next steps to investigate what is wrong with the knee?

  • Hello,
    You are right, you have to see a doctor to prescrib general exams in a hospital like IRM, radio, ... to see what's going on because there is something but you need specific examens before.
    After, you can go to a kinesist to help you.
    Kinds regards

  Hi, I have a small Hernia (L5-S1) which pushes on the sciatic nerve. The pain is now extended to the knee/calf/foot. Which is the specialist I should get in contact with?

  • Hello,
    You should see a neurologist (specialist of the nerves). I think it could be the sciatic nerve that has problem and create the pain sensation in the leg.
