Answered on 23rd May '24
Occasionally, patients may develop new symptoms or complications following spinal fusion surgery even after a few years. The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health. It is also advisable to watch for any changes and consult a spine specialist. In this case, the best doctor to visit should be a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spinal disorders.

I am 18 years old.Suffering from knee pain on right leg left side.i decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kgs.feeling neck pain and spinal cord pain
Female | 18
The knee pain on the outer side might be from some trauma or strain. The hurting of the neck and the spinal cord can be from bad posturing and muscle tension. You need to let that affected region recover, apply ice to the area, and do light stretching with the injured or painful part. Always keep your posture in the right way and make more decisions to reach out to a physiotherapist as a part of your strategy to get better quicker.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road
Female | 22
I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

i have severe pain in posterior back thigh for more than 2 year.it leads to my lower back. i can barely walk because of it.i have taken alot of medications but it just gave me a temporary relief and i haven't got any improvement.
Male | 20
It is possible that sciatica, which involves a nerve in your lower back getting irritated, is the cause of this. This can give you a hard time in your thigh. Stretching exercises and physical therapy may be a good idea. Likewise, you can use heat for pain relief, plus rub the area gently. If you find that your discomfort continues, please contact an orthopedist.

Low back pain down to both legs
Male | 36
Sciatica causes your back nerve to feel squeezed. This makes both legs hurt, tingle, or go numb. You can try resting, using ice packs or heating pads, and gentle stretches. But don't wait too long - if leg pains remain, you should see an orthopedist. Further exams and treatments may be needed to address this common back problem.

Iam 21 years old male backache for 2 months and some health issues that I don't understand what should I do?
Male | 21
Back injury's roots can be different, due to incorrect body posture, overworked muscles, or stress. Any other signs you may have, including numbness or tingling in your legs, are equally important to listen to. Attempting to correct your posture, and undertake light stretching exercises, and hot or cold packs may also be beneficial for pain relief. When the pain does not diminish, it is advisable to consult an orthopedist for a second opinion and treatment.

I had bypass surgery from left to right leg, balloon was placed to open blood flow, had stent put in on left side, im home now but experiencing leg pain and every once in awhile sharp pain on top of foot , is this normal ? I can find pulse on top of foot , dr said to find that if i can
Female | 57
Having some pain and discomfort in your leg after bypass surgery and having a stent put in is normal. The cause of the leg pain might be your body getting used to the new blood flow and the healing process. The sharp pain on your foot's top may be nerve irritation. It's good you can feel the pulse on your foot, but if the pain gets severe or doesn't improve, it's important to let your orthopedist know. Meanwhile, keep your leg elevated, take any prescribed pain medication, and gently massage your leg to ease the discomfort.

Sir two years back. A man hitted on my upper back. From then on my heart functioning disturbed. It started pounding fast, heavy back pain very uncomfortable with my heart. My question is if anyone hits very harshly with hand do it damage heart back side
Male | 23
A forceful blow to your upper back is troubling, but your heart is protected in your chest. While direct harm is unlikely, muscle strain or nerve issues can arise. This might bring rapid heartbeat, severe back pain, and discomfort. Getting checked by an orthopedist is advisable for proper assessment and care.

I have an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my left and right leg, and two on the small toes of the left leg. Four in total. I have three questions regarding the same: 1) Will all four toes be operated on the same day? 2) Will it be done under General Anaesthesia? 3) Can I resume a Work from Home job two days after the surgery?I appreciate your time and response. Thank you.
Male | 24
Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.

Hi, I'm taking 1.5ml of Testosterone Ethanate 300mg/ml once per week but I'm due to get a cortisone injection in my hand for trigger finger in 2 weeks time. Will this be ok to have whilst I'm taking this?
Male | 40
Testosterone Ethanate (T.E.) is a hormone, while cortisone is a medication used to reduce inflammation. Getting a cortisone injection for the trigger finger shouldn't be an issue while on T.E., as they work differently in the body. However, always inform your orthopedist about all medications you're taking. Trigger finger occurs due to tendon inflammation, causing fingers to get stuck in a bent position. A corticosteroid injection can reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms.

It's for scapula problem
Female | 17
Scapula is the big bone in your upper back area - the shoulder blade. Scapula issues arise from overexertion, poor posture, or injury. You might experience sharp pains, stiffness, or arm mobility issues. Try gentle stretching exercises, apply ice packs, and take pain medication for relief. However, it's crucial to rest your body and avoid activities worsening the condition. If discomfort persists, consulting an orthopedist would be advisable for proper guidance.

Ankle swelling no pain But all time swelling
Female | 49
Painless ankle swelling may come from fluid buildup or poor blood flow. Our bodies retain too much water at times. Blood circulation issues in legs can also cause swelling. Raising your legs and cutting salt may help. But if swelling remains, see an orthopedist for evaluation.

Female | 17
Yes, you can do exercise or yoga in case of scapula pain as long as it does not increase discomfort. Nevertheless, it is wise to seek advice from an orthopedist before starting any exercise or yoga, as they can offer a proper diagnosis and give the right treatment based on your health history.

Please I have severe pain in my lower back down to both of my legs
Male | 24
You might be suffering from sciatica, a condition where pain starts in your lower back and goes down to your legs. This happens because a nerve in your back is under pressure. The pain can be shooting, sharp, or constant. To relieve the pain, it is important to rest, use heat or ice packs, and do gentle stretches. If the pain persists, it's best to see an orthopedist for further tests and treatment options.

Male | 16
You suffer from back and leg pain as well as numbness and excess sleepiness. These symptoms can be caused by a nerve block in your lower back which can produce discomfort and strange sensations in your leg. Your doctor has prescribed some medicines to you to aid in managing pain and inflammation. Adhere to them, and take a break from your doctor if there are any changes or concerns.

I am 36 years old and i had got injured two years ago and bone of my foot was cracked and doctors bind it with plate and it was recovered but now a major infection arose in foot that cause redness in my foot and it is spreading toward leg and whole body is swelled and i am feeling pain in my chest
Male | 36
The redness, swelling, and pain spreading from your foot to your leg and chest could mean the infection is getting worse. It may be the case that bacteria attack cells resulting in a serious health condition called sepsis, characterized by the infection invading the body. This requires immediate attention. The treatment of sepsis consists of antibiotics and other medications to maintain the infection under control. To avoid any complications it is necessary to act quickly.

Female | 20
This is a situation where the discs that act as cushions to separate the spinal bones slip out of position and eventually start compressing the neighboring nerve roots. This condition could cause pain in the back as well as difficulty in sitting or bending. Some measures like soft movements of the body, hot and cold compresses, or physical therapy may be helpful. If these treatments do not work, you can consult an orthopedist for further treatments.
