Are my lumbar MRI findings concerning?
Findings: fir oussama The conus is normal. There is right partial sacralization of L5. At L4-L5, there is moderate left and mild right side facet joint disease with thickened ligamenta flava associated with mild loss of disc signal and with a posterior disc bulge lateralized to the left causing moderate compression of the left L.5 root. The disc extends mildly into the left foramen contributing to mild narrowing of the left foramen without clear compression of the left L4 root. At L3-L4, there is mild bilateral facet joint disease without impingement. The marrow shows no suspicious signal. No central canal stenosis. The foramina are normal. No spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis. The paraspinal soft tissues are normal.

It appears that you have some changes in your lower back, particularly at the L4-L5 level, which may cause symptoms like pain or discomfort in your legs. This could stem from wear and tear or injury affecting the facet joints and discs. While your condition shows some mild issues, it's reassuring that there's no severe nerve compression or significant canal narrowing. I recommend discussing these findings with your orthopedist, who can offer personalized advice and potential treatments to help you manage any symptoms effectively.

I am 20 years old man andi dislocated by ring finger while playing cricket, i think its broken and i can't bend my finger
Male | 20
It might be true if you have been suffering pain, looking at the swelling, and unable to bend the finger. A difficult event such as a strong impact or force is usually the reason for its occurrence. At this point, you should cease all activities, place ice on the area, and raise your hand. Medical attention by an orthopedist must be given so that the treatment will be done correctly.

Knee pain due to basketball
Male | 13
Knee pain is common in basketball players. It can happen from running, jumping, or twisting your knee repeatedly. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. Causes include overuse, lifting weights incorrectly, and not warming up properly. To help your knee recover, reduce activity, apply ice, and do graded exercises. For more serious conditions, seeing an orthopedist is crucial. Treating pain early is the best approach.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong
Male | 67
Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

I m 65 year old, I have pain in my leg very much. I have 3 wall in my veins because of blockage. But my leg pain is very heavy. what can i do
Female | 65
This could be the result of an insufficient blood flow. The symptoms may also include coughing, breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and chest pain, especially when exercising. Leg lifting, regular workouts, and wearing compression stockings may play a big role in the control of other health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Discuss with the orthopedist the most suitable alternatives to relieve your leg pain.

I have slight tendonitis in entire arm. I had an angiogram 10 days ago. After forearm and swelling subsided in a day or two, my tendinitis ramped up in pain. It's very uncomfortable. Especially in the bicep... is is from traveling
Male | 65
Your arm probably doesn't feel good after the angiogram. The tendinitis flared up from the procedure. It causes aching in the bicep area. Try applying ice packs and stretching gently. Also, give your arm a break. Consult the medical team if pain continues. They performed the angiogram, so they'll advise you properly.

I am 28 years old, my right heel and foot is very painful for more than one month, my doctor prescribed some medicines but the pain has not cured. Xray report are normal.
Male | 28
Plantar fasciitis, which is when the tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes becomes irritated, maybe the reason for this. Stretch gently your feet, wear the right kind of shoes, and apply ice over the painful area to ease the pain and inflammation. Besides, do not forget to rest your feet well. If the sore continues, it would be wise to see a physiotherapist who can help with certain exercises to strengthen the feet.

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.

ACL refers to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, a common injury in the knee. The symptoms are pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee. The main reason is mostly sports injuries or accidents. As medicines and phototherapy were not useful, go to an orthopedic specialist for more tests. Other treatments like physical therapy or surgery might also be necessary.
