This could indicate a serious ankle injury, possibly a fracture. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention to determine the extent of the damage and receive proper treatment. Rest, elevate your leg, and apply ice in the meantime, but prioritize getting medical help as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

Leg-lengthening surgery is a delicate and dangerous operation that has to be undertaken by experienced specialist orthopedic surgeons. It will be better to avoid “cheap” clinics for this surgery that is not about saving money at all costs, but rather ensuring the highest level of care and expertise.

I have alot of swelling in my leg i cant walk and its painful
Female | 17
You might have a disease called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It begins when occurs a clot in a deep vein, most often, however, in the leg. Swelling, pain, warmth, and redness are the symptoms. To cure DVT, blood thinners may be required to stop the clots from getting bigger. Intensive care interventions also require a raised leg and rest. However, it might be necessary for the veins to be compressed further if your leg swelling and pain do not go away or worsen.

I'm an 18 year old female, has an old unattended back injury from 10 years ago hurts from time to time recently has been feeling some chest pains and difficulty in breathing what could it be?
Female | 18
Judging from the information that you have given, your past back injury and these new symptoms could be linked. Often old injuries can be a cause of problems later. The chest pain and breathing problems may indeed be caused by your spine affecting the nerves and muscles in that part of your body. An orthopedist needs to check everything to make sure you are ok and that you feel better.

Tibia and fibila frecture
Male | 29
Tibia and fibula fractures involve broken lower leg bones. Pain, swelling, and inability to move the leg characterize symptoms. Falls or accidents commonly cause these injuries. Treatment involves casts or surgical repair of bones. Ice, rest, and leg elevation help relieve pain and swelling. Recovering full strength and mobility often requires physical therapy.

Waist pain that extends to your thigh may be caused by muscle strain due to activities such as bending or lifting, and the nerve problems of sciatica. You may also experience tingling or numbness in your leg. To feel better, try resting, applying ice, and doing gentle stretchings. If it doesn't get better, then it's best to see an orthopedist for more advice.

I was about going to sleep at night when I started feeling some twitching around my eyes coupled with some electric-like shocks on my face. When I slept and woke up, I discovered it had increased. My face looked swollen, and my mouth was somehow tight. I couldn't whistle with it or shape it any way I wanted to. I couldn't open it wide. I couldn't close my eyes without pain and It was blinking even when I closed it and it was like a stress to my nose when I closed one of the eye or both. All of these relieved me in two days time. And my eyes could close better without pressure and my mouth functions was back to normal. But after some days I discovered that my posture has changed and my left hip bone is tight. My left leg has some rotation making it look like it's tight. My glute seems tight and my left hip look like it's forward, making my Left leg to appear longer and my walking posture to change. I can run, I can shoot with my both legs. Just that I'm having tighness in my left hip or pelvis. This has made me to walk in a different manner. Pls what can I do?
Male | 32
You may have experienced a condition called Bell's Palsy, which causes facial muscle weakness and can affect your posture. Bell's Palsy is usually due to nerve inflammation that controls facial muscles, leading to symptoms like twitching, facial swelling, and difficulty closing your eyes or moving your mouth. While most cases heal on their own, it's important to monitor any new symptoms. Initially, your posture changes and tightness in your left hip were the main concerns. Stretching exercises can help improve your range of motion and correct your posture. Consulting a physiotherapist or orthopedist can help you manage these symptoms professionally.

I am 22 years old my leg was hit by a wood and it is swollen..I only take Panadol and use ice can u tell me if its fracture or not because when I walk it's hurting me....
Female | 22
If you were hit by wood and now your leg is swollen, hurts and you can’t walk properly, wood has fractured your bone. A fracture occurs when a bone breaks. Make sure to see an orthopedist who can do an X-ray to confirm if there is a fracture or not and before then, keep on taking Panadol for pain and apply ice to reduce swelling. Rest the leg as much as possible.
