Can Prolonged Diaper Use Lead to Incontinence Issues?
Due to a car accident a while back, I've been wearing diapers for an extended period because of my mobility issues. I don't currently have incontinence issues, but my reliance on diapers has made me wonder about the long-term effects. My primary concern is whether this extended use of diapers, even without incontinence, might eventually lead to total incontinence. I would greatly appreciate your insights or any information you can provide on this matter.

Had an MRI and was told "There is mild chondral thinning, joint space narrowing involving the fourth and fifth TMT joints with some subtle subarticular bony oedema both sides of the fourth TMT joint." This is after 5 months of having an injury, I feel a lot of swelling in my extensor digitorium brevis (oedema) in my right foot, but this week I started feeling the same feelings in my left foot, I need some guidance or help please because it's difficult to do physical activity with and it's swelling whenever at rest.
Male | 21
The MRI results closest show some mild desquamation of the joints, which may cause swelling and pain. The swelling in your extensor digitorum brevis muscle could be possibly related to the joint issues. Avoid these movements at first, put ice on them, and try stretches that don't need a lot of force. Besides that, you might notice a difference if you wear supportive shoes.

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.

It seems that, according to your described symptoms, you are dealing with one of the types of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a clot in the blood vessels deep inside body. You should immediately seek the advice of a physician, preferably from among vascular specialists to allow for proper testing and diagnosis. DVT is a severe condition that requires emergency treatment.

I am having back and pain lain today mere yeh pain hota ha kbhi kbhi par bahut zda hota hai like sahan ni hotaa ab bhi hora hai mai kaise band kru isee
Male | 20
Such pain may happen due to incorrect posture, misuse of heavy objects lifting, or sitting in one place for a long time. You can try some gentle stretches, ice or heat packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary to alleviate the pain. Don't forget to take breaks and move your body to prevent stiffness. But if the pain doesn't diminish or worsen, getting further guidance from an orthopedist is prudent.

I have a sudden and severe continuous back pain that goes to the stomach, it started 3 days ago and painkillers don't work
Female | 36
Back pain radiating to your stomach could indicate a kidney infection or stone. Fever, sickness, and persistent discomfort unrelieved by medication often accompany these conditions. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or procedures to remove kidney stones, if present. Seeking timely care from an orthopedist is essential.

Spine pain after encountering of an injury while doing push ups did some treatment Pain has started again so wanted to check up L3 and L5
Male | 45
The pain in your mid and lower back (L3 and L5 지역) is recurring again after push ups. This may be caused by a muscle or ligament strain from the past injury. The symptoms can be a dull pain, stiffness, or piercing pain in the back. To care for this apply ice packs, and mild stretches, and stay away from activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain is still bothering you, consult with an orthopedist to get a physical examination.

Female | 76
Living with no muscle tone and leg bent all the time during the day after the hip surgery can be difficult. Now it is more important to stay actively involved with an orthopedist. They offer detailed treatments and therapies that aim to minimize pain and improve mobility.

She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture
Female | 54
If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

I've noticed that my wrist feels loose or unstable when I apply pressure or pull something or during arm wrestling, but it only happens when I deliberately move it in a certain way. I have noticed it more than 6 months ago.Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?"
Male | 15
You have a condition called ligament laxity in your wrist. This means your ligaments are loose and don't support your wrist properly, making it feel unstable in certain positions. This can be due to a past injury or natural hypermobility. To help stabilize your wrist, wearing a wrist brace during activities that trigger symptoms can provide support and reduce instability. Doing special wrist-strengthening exercises can also improve strength and stability over time. Avoid activities that worsen your symptoms, and consult a physical therapist for a personalized treatment plan.

As a medical expert, I suggest that you go to an orthopedist to examine your knee and leg. It is not unusual fat this age group to be hit by joint wear and tear. A orthopedic doctor will diagnose the actual reason for the pain, and will propose the most appropriate treatment, which may range from medications, physical therapy and surgery if needed.

Female | 40
You sound like you're in pain with your neck and right-hand issues. The X-ray procedure you suggested was an excellent way to find out what was wrong. The pain in your neck and right hand might be caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or even arthritis. You can do sciatic stretching, apply heat or ice packs, and exercise good posture to improve your health. If it remains, see an orthopedist for additional tests and therapy solutions.

Hello! I am Jelena from Belgrade. I have 29 years and pains started when I was 17 years. Pains from the beginning are the same, strong, and constant. I have pains while sitting, standing, walking, sleeping. I started swimming but can’t see any improvement. I have been at physiotherapist, hyperbaric therapy, and I had surgery 2 years ago in Belgrade. They told me they did a fusion surgery of the spine (L3, L4), and they decompressed vertebras and input disc but I don’t feel anything better from the surgery at all, not even 1% percent. Behalf of the same pain, I can feel one of the screws when touching its place, it causes pain while I sitting on a chair or even laying in bed. The main pain is in my lower back, from the middle of the spine down to the gluteus. Another issue I have is that I broke my coccyx and it was crookedly fused, which also makes me a pain. I have pictures of MRI and I would love to send you. I want to thank you again for your time and looking forward to your reply. I will send the MRI as soon as you say. Thanks, Best Regards, Jelena Rmus

The spine surgery (L3, L4 fusion) and fractured tailbone might be causing your persistent discomfort. Let's look closely at your MRI scans to figure out what's going on. I suggest consulting an expert spine doctor for a thorough check-up and tailored treatment plan.

If my toe is purple does that mean it's broke
Female | 29
Sometimes a purple toe might indicate that it's broken. Other symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, and failure of the toe to move. A few of the reasons your toe may be hurting is you dropped something heavy on it or hit it hard. To make it easier, rest your toe, apply ice, elevate it, and take pain medicine. If the pain is strong, you should contact an orthopedist.
