Answered on 23rd May '24
You may have hurt your elbow quite seriously. When you slam it hard, you can make your elbow and arm to swell and turn purple. It happens when the tiny blood vessels, beneath our skin, smash. For reducing the swelling and pain, you can apply ice. If no significant improvement is noted, you should get the orthopedist involved and thoroughly examined.

Can I use stationary cycle for rehabilitation of fractured patella after 80 days of surgery
Male | 44
Your knee feels stiff after surgery. Your bone heals slowly. Using a cycle helps strengthen your knee. You can ride slowly without pain. Yet be careful not to hurt yourself again. Follow your doctor's advice at all times. Cycling improves your movement while keeping safe.

I am a 60 years old female. I have bone pain in different part of body. For last 4 days I want to know which disease dose I have. And treatment of this disease
Female | 60
Probably the effects of osteoporosis are coming out in you. Weak and brittle bones are the reason why it is easier to faint and die. In addition, it can lead to unevolved discomfort in some parts of your body. One of the causes of osteoporosis is aging, not getting enough calcium and vitamin D, or taking some medications. The main components include the introduction of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-preserving medicine, and participation in regular activities aimed at enhancing the moisture content of bones.

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.

Hi , few days back due to extreme abdomen pain . I got an injection on my buttocks area. After few days ,I started feeling the injection area as a lump and eventually the lump size got some smaller but still after 2 months of injection,I still feel the area as a small lump . Also at times while walking and standing I feel a sort of nerve like pain throughout my leg from the injection area to the knees . May I know what can be done further ? Is the lump temporary? How can I avoid this pain ?
Female | 24
It’s not uncommon to experience a lump and discomfort after an injection, as some swelling or residual medication can occur. The lump is likely temporary, but nerve-like pain may suggest irritation in the area. To alleviate discomfort, consider applying warm compresses and gently massaging the area, if comfortable. Staying active and performing stretching exercises can also help. However, since symptoms persist, I encourage you to consult a orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a tailored plan to address your concerns effectively and ensure proper healing.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?
Female | 28
I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

My left side hurts all the way up into my back stabbing and pinching pain and makes me feel like I’m going to pass out
Female | 22
When your side hurts badly, reaching up to your back with stabbing, pinching pain, several issues may cause it. A strained muscle, kidney stones, or pancreas problems could be reasons. To identify the cause, you should visit an orthopedist. They'll examine you and recommend treatment.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion
Female | Ranganayagi
Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

Why do I have such bad knee pain? Everytime I hit my knee or even just rest something on my knee I get a shoot of pain in my knee that won't go away for at least a minute
Female | 20
The condition you describe might be patellar tendinitis. It happens when the tendon connecting your kneecap and shinbone gets inflamed. Overuse like repeatedly hitting your knee can cause this. Resting your knee, icing it, and doing gentle knee-strengthening exercises can help. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist for evaluation.

Does Knee replacement affect your nerves?
Nerve damage may also occur as a result of knee replacement surgery because the peroneal nerve resides close to the tibia bone. In fact, nerve damage is one reason why some patients with knee replacement complain of persistent lateral knee pain and loss of function.
Consult orthopedists, who will explain you in detail about the complications of knee replacement surgery. Hope our answer helps you.

I have pain in my body. I get tired quickly while working. I can see less with my eyes. I start breathing quickly. I have pain in my legs.
Male | 29
It sounds like you're experiencing a combination of fatigue, discomfort, and vision issues, which can stem from various factors such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health conditions. It's essential to take breaks during work, stay hydrated, and ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins. Engaging in gentle exercises may also help with leg discomfort and energy levels. However, since you're experiencing these symptoms, I recommend scheduling an appointment with a orthopedist for thorough evaluation to identify any specific concerns and provide tailored advice.

Your ankle discomfort is unfortunate. Sprains, strains, or arthritis might cause ankle pain. Here's R.I.C.E to ease it: rest, apply ice, compress with a bandage, and elevate your leg. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. If the pain persists, don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist.

Your legs may feel weak. There are many possible reasons for this, including lack of exercise, poor diet and nutrition, or low levels of certain vitamins. Try eating well-balanced meals each day and getting regular physical activity. Additionally, don’t forget to drink plenty of water. If these suggestions do not help, then it would be wise to consult with an orthopedist so that potential underlying causes can be eliminated.

Hip pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include trauma, lying on a side for a prolonged period, overuse, muscle stiffness, sitting in an awkward position, sprains or strains.
