You have probably damaged your knee as a consequence of falling overboard. Swelling and maybe a bone slip are the consequence of trauma or impact caused by a fall. The good news is that you can walk without any pain. You can put a cold pack on to soothe the discomfort and raise your knee. Monitor any development and visit an orthopedist if the pain does not go away or worsens.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.
Male | 27
It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

After falling off her bike, My mother gets knee pain in left knee and swelling when she walks. I would like to know what the problem is. What treatment do you recommend to fix it?
Female | 60
Your mom might have hurt her knee after falling off her bicycle. The pain and swelling she experiences when walking could indicate a knee injury. Injuries cause tissues inside the knee to become inflamed, resulting in such symptoms. To help recover, she should rest her knee, apply ice to reduce swelling and elevate her leg. Gently moving her knee can also prevent stiffness. However, if the pain and swelling persist, she should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment options.

I feel like dizzy and stiff back in the early morning. Please suggest a solution for this??
Male | 23
There are many reasons why you might wake up feeling dizzy and with a sore back. It might be that you did not drink enough water before going to bed, or that you slept in an awkward position which caused your back to become stiff. To combat this, try drinking some fluids before falling asleep and refrain from shifting your weight onto alternate sides during the night. Moreover stretching gently upon waking up can help loosen any tight muscles. If none of these solutions work then it would probably be wise to consult a orthopedist.

I’m really anxious about something that happened recently and wanted to get your thoughts. So, I went to see a doctor today because I’ve been dealing with some pain in my shoulders. He said it’s due to a deformity in my spine and that it should go away in a few days. The pain is sharp, burning, and kind of aches—it’s definitely worse than what I’ve felt before, but he didn’t seem too concerned. Here’s where I’m stuck: I noticed some scratches on my shoulders, but the doctor didn’t seem to pay much attention to them. When I talked to my dad about it later, he noticed the scratches right away, which freaked me out a bit. The doctor did say that I was vaccinated against rabies a year ago and also for other infectious diseases, so I should be protected, but my mind keeps going to worst-case scenarios. I’ve also been feeling nauseous, but the doctor thinks it’s just nerves. I got super anxious after the whole thing, and now I can’t get it out of my head. I barely slept last night because I’m so worried. I even asked my friends who were there, and they said it didn’t look like anything bit me—just that something flew by. I know I’m probably overthinking this, but should I be worried, or is this just my anxiety getting the best of me? Would appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks!

The pain you're experiencing could be a consequence of the spine problem your doctor pointed out. Such medical problems may be accompanied with sharp, burning, and aching pain. Regarding the scratches, you are safe since you have been vaccinated against rabies and other diseases. Anxiety can be the reason for your nausea, however, if the nausea continues, you should better monitor it. Your first option is to call your orthopedist for a follow-up appointment if the pain or symptoms worsen.

I am 25 years old and from few days I am feeling like my hand is getting swollen when I wash utensils and it gets numb and feels like my hand is soaking water
Female | 25
It seems you may have the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, making your hand swell and become numb. Washing up may be aggravating it. When you feel like this, you should try to take regular breaks while doing tasks. You could also use a wrist splint to help keep your hand in a better position. If these steps don’t relieve the problem, then it would be a good idea to talk to a orthopedist for more advice.
