1st Metatarsal bone fracture
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 17th Dec '24
A first metatarsal fracture may manifest itself in the form of pain and swelling, as well as walking difficulties. This kind of damage more often than not stems from physical traumas or overuse, especially in athletes. Normally, treatment is achieved using rest, ice, compression, and elevation to reduce swelling. An orthopedist might prescribe supportive shoes or a walking cast to keep the foot stable while healing. It’s very important not to do anything that could make things worse.

Waist pain which extends to my thigh
Female | 24
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 am a 20 year old female I am having shoulder and chest pain form 2 months..
Female | 20
Pain in these muscles can sometimes be caused by muscle overstrain, wrong posture, or even emotional stress. Keep your posture in check, make time for rest from activities that require repetitive motions, and try to learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga. If the pain persists or becomes even more excruciating, you should consult with an orthopedist to get a more thorough examination and advice.

I am 20 year old female. I have recurring back pain in my lower back since last 3 months. Its gets triggered after I do cleaning work or lifting weights. The pain has shifted to the side of my hip since last 2 days. What should I do?
Female | 20
It's important to address your recurring lower back pain, especially since it's now affecting your hip area. These symptoms could indicate a musculoskeletal issue or a possible strain. I recommend consulting an orthopedic specialist or a physiotherapist. They can evaluate your condition, suggest appropriate exercises or treatments, and provide guidance on managing and preventing further discomfort.

I fractured my patella on 7/9/24, and was crap bandge for a week, and I had cast plaster from 15/9/24, plaster was removed on 14/10/24, knee is still swollen, can't bend knee, can't lift leg up, had x-ray, crack is still visible. The doctor said that the bone that is formed now cannot be seen on xray, after three months xray will not show the cracks.
Male | 32
You have a fractured patella. Common symptoms include swelling and difficulty bending or lifting your leg. A visible fracture line on the X-ray means the bone is still healing. Over time, the bone will become stronger, and the cracks will disappear. Continue resting your knee, doing gentle exercises, and consult your orthopedist for guidance. The healing process takes time, but you will recover.

I am a 25 year old male who's had back surgery. I have numbness and burning pain in my legs and I'm not getting any relief.
Male | 25
It is not good to feel numbness and burning pain in the legs after back surgery. These feelings happen because the nerves get irritated. This could happen because of swelling or pressure on the nerves. It is important to tell your surgeon about these feelings. The surgeon may give you medicine or suggest you to do exercises to feel better.

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.

I fell while riding a bike on my elbow and ever since i have been facing pain while pronation and supranation of my wrists also when i apply preasure to the inner part of the bone in the elbow i feel immense pain
Male | 19
Pain when you twist your wrist or press the inside of your elbow may be a sign of medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow. This condition occurs when the tendon becomes swollen and irritated. To heal, you can rest your arm, apply an ice pack, and take over-the-counter medications. It's important to avoid actions that cause the pain, and if there is no improvement, it's better to visit an orthopedist for additional assessment and treatment.

Per main chot lag gayi hain kya kare
Male | 33
The usual thing that you should do when you get a cut or hurt is cleanse the same with soap and water. To protect from infection, you should put some antiseptic on the wound. Employ a bandage as a cover to keep it safe from germs. If it is a larger wound or the bleeding will not stop, you will probably need to consult an orthopedic specialist. To facilitate the quick healing process, hygiene has to be the top priority of the affected area.

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.
Male | 23
Prolonged diaper use may cause a number of health problems including urinary tract infections, skin rashes and discomfort.

I have had alot of pain in my left hand on the front part then at the opposite back which persist when i lift my hand upward or raise a heavy load..the pain has been there for1 year and 3monts time....i think i strained my chest muscles because i feel twitches all over the chest which makes it easy for me to feel my heartbeat easily.also my vains feel painful atimes...then i dont understand the problem i it is issue with nerves or muscles please asist me
Male | 17
Something could irritate some nerves or muscle tissues in your left hand. When lifting objects, you feel discomfort - likely signs of muscle strain there. Separately, those chest twitches, feeling your heartbeat more strongly - those sensations correlate with nerve agitation. To pinpoint root causes and treatment options, consulting an orthopedist proves crucial.

Back pain and 1 leg ???? infection
Female | 58
One leg infection and back pain are two things that should not be taken lightly. There could be many causes for the back pain, and it could be a muscular problem. An infection in the leg presents with redness, warmth, and pain in the infected area. If left untreated, this type of infection may spread to other parts of the body causing more serious problems. It is important to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.

I am Mamta devi.before 4 months did my hip replacement surgery,and that time my bone was crack .now i have pain' in my surgery place.what i do?
Female | 65
One of the significant problems that you have to recognize and take care of is the pain in your hip that you are experiencing after the surgery. Pain at the surgery site could be a symptom of various issues such as an infection, loosening of the implant, or a fracture. The hypothesis of the pain caused by the previously broken bone is still a possibility. Visit your orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and discuss treatment options.

Suffering from left groin pain from the past week.medications from family doctor did not work out immense pain lifting the leg & down to the ground.pls advice what can be the reason & what tests required for treatment
Female | 64
Groin pain can come from different sources like a muscle strain or hernia. To find out the right one, an orthopedist might recommend your tests like an ultrasound or MRI. These tests are to look through your body and find the exact problem. After the diagnosis is made, the doctor can recommend the right therapy, which may consist of physical therapy or surgery.

Female | 19
It's good that your leg is still functioning well—that’s a good sign! You might feel symptoms like pain, numbness, or tingling. The most common causes are accidents or falls. The usual treatment involves rest, possibly wearing a brace and physical therapy. With proper care and rest, you'll likely recover well. Make sure to follow your doctor’s advice.
