      Hello Dr. Sharma,

      My mother is 70 years old. She is a patient of hypertension, arthiritis . Had a uterus removal 20 years ago. Also had a brain tumour operation in 2001. She was pretty OK. But around 20 days back she claimed some stairs and started complaining of pain around ankles. Right one with more pain. Within three days her ankle swelled up and pain worsened. The doctors diagnosed with E. Coli infection and gave Norflox 400. The infection was cured but feet and ankle swelling didn’t reduce. We consulted an orthopedist. He suggested medicines (Nucoxia and Etofree tabs) but the effect is very slow. She has lots of pain and ankles are swollen red. Please help. She is in lots of pain.

  2. De.Saab, Good Morning, staying in Delhi only, I am suffering a lot because of my peripheral area, As per doctor’s advise I done a surgery of hammarhods & fissure but problem remains there. Now in the morning at time of toilet/pressure blood at least six drops & pain & little bit burning sensation is there. So my surgeon said it must be gastroenterologist problem so requesting with folded hands for some medicine which is highly effective.
