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.

Male | 17

It looks like you may have broken your hand. A specific point may be very tender and the area can appear different from the other side. It is crucial to have an orthopedist look at this. They will confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment which may involve putting on a cast or splint so that the bone can heal properly. Make sure that it is checked as soon as possible so you can begin the recovery process.

I am a 16 yearbold female and i experience leg pains when there is frequent physical motion or walk a long distance

Female | 16

The feeling of uneasiness in your legs due to wearing them out during physical activities is not a rare case caused by overuse, muscle fatigue, or even growing pains at your age. Warm-up workouts, proper hydration, and gradual intensification of exercise are the main elements for you. In the case of physical effort, stretching can also be helpful. If symptoms persist consult an orthopedist.

I have severe knee pain when I stand up for too long and I have just noticed there is a large indentation in my knee

Male | 59

You have patellofemoral pain syndrome. This condition causes pain around or under the knee cap, which can spread to the side of the knee. It's often due to overuse, weak muscles, or improper knee-cap positioning. Exercises to strengthen leg muscles and supportive sports shoes can help. A key part of treatment is avoiding activities that worsen the pain.
