Although fluoxetine and tramadol are both related to chemical levels in the brain, it is still not safe to mix them. In other words, their simultaneous consumption can intensify the likelihood of serotonin syndrome, a critical ailment that manifests symptoms such as confusion, sweating, and fast heartbeat. The best course of action would be for your physician to advise you on alternative pain relief options that are safe for you.

I am having very sharp and constant pain shooting from my outer elbow down to my pinkie and my thumb/ index finger. It's causing tingling and numbness to those fingers. I've tried putting ice packs on it but it makes the pain worse. And a little of the ulna looks to be protruding a little bit more then my other elbow. I have it at rest at the moment and the pain is constant
Female | 44
Ulnar nerve passes through a tunnel at the elbow - the cubital tunnel. When compressed, it can lead to symptoms like pain, tingling, and numbness in the ring and little fingers. The protrusion in your ulna bone might be worsening the compression. To manage this, try keeping your elbow in a relaxed position. Avoid resting it on hard surfaces or bending it excessively. See an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Some conditions can be resolved through rest and physical therapy. Be sure to tell your doctor what you’re experiencing, such as pain or difficulty moving. Knowing the cause of the problem can help determine whether or not an operation is required. You must follow the advice of your physician regarding the most appropriate treatment for yourself.

Male | 30
Your symptoms, like red eyes, head pain, and dry throat during office work, might result from increased pressure. Poor posture or restricted blood flow could contribute. Improve your posture, take breaks, and hydrate properly. If issues persist, consult a doctor.

Hi Ian 23 and back pain on my left side
Male | 23
Back pain can occur for several reasons like muscle strain from improper posture or lifting heavy things wrong. Other times it can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Try using hot or cold packs on the area, gentle stretching, and taking it easy for a bit first. If the pain persists or gets worse, it's wise to get it checked by an orthopedist to find out what's the matter.

Neck pain can have a variety of causes, including poor posture, stress and injury. It is important to see a doctor, an orthopedist in particular, to understand the issue and have it treated properly. Distributing the sitting time and practicing neck exercises can be another means of relieving symptoms as well.

Pain where pelvis / femur connect severe pain when I stand up.
Male | 57
You might be experiencing a lot of discomfort where your pelvis connects with your thigh bone especially when standing up. This could be due to swelling or an injury in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments around that part of the body. You should rest, put ice on it, and avoid activities that make it worse. If this does not help then go and see an orthopedist who will examine you further before giving any treatment.

Male | 25
Burns occur when skin contacts hot items like fire or boiling water. The area might be red, swollen, and painful. To heal faster, gently clean the wound, apply burn cream, and bandage it. Keep it clean and dry for a few days. If it doesn't improve or you notice pus or more pain, see a healthcare provider. But for now, keep it clean and protected.

I have pain in my hip or buttack and calf are pain
Male | 27
It is clear that you are suffering from pain in your hip or buttock and the calf comes along with pain. This may be because of a situation called sciatica, where the sciatic nerve gets irritated. Symptoms include shooting or burning pain. It is important to rest and not put pressure on the injured area, and the gentle stretching of the muscles to the point of pain is among the most likely options. Preventing activities that cause pain is also a good idea and consulting an orthopedic specialist for more suggestions is obligatory.

Since past 2 days suffering through left leg pain with severe hip pain that's also in left side
Female | 17
Your left leg and hip may be bothering you. Pain in both of those places could be caused by something such as sciatica, which is a nerve problem. Another reason might be muscle strain or arthritis. You should rest the area that hurts, put some ice on it, and if it’s bearable, gently stretch. If this doesn’t help, you should see an orthopedist.

Iam 21 years old male backache for 2 months and some health issues that I don't understand what should I do?
Male | 21
Back injury's roots can be different, due to incorrect body posture, overworked muscles, or stress. Any other signs you may have, including numbness or tingling in your legs, are equally important to listen to. Attempting to correct your posture, and undertake light stretching exercises, and hot or cold packs may also be beneficial for pain relief. When the pain does not diminish, it is advisable to consult an orthopedist for a second opinion and treatment.

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.

Back of the feet something
Male | 15
Feeling some pain at the back of your feet can be Achilles tendinitis. Signs are swelling, stiffness, and aching. This happens when too much use or injury causes inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. To relieve the discomfort rest, apply ice packs, and do gentle stretching exercises. Supportive footwear will also help. However, if the pain persists do not hesitate to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.
