Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.

The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

Hi, Im a 40 year old female. i have alot of pain in my heels, which is almost unbearable now and im seeking help in regards to that. i dont know if this is related to the pain , but i have Psoriasis and got treated for it around 5 years ago, and get checkups once in a year. i think the pain might be somewhat related to Psoriasis as it is right over my heels. hope someone understands the root cause of this and helps me.

Female | 40

Your heel discomfort troubles me. Heel agony may stem from Psoriatic Arthritis, a Psoriasis-linked disorder. This condition inflames joints, causing aches and swells. Neglecting it risks permanent harm. Thus, consulting a Rheumatologist is crucial for proper assessment and therapy. They'll prescribe medicines and suggest exercises to alleviate your suffering.

Leg swelling after sitting an hrs

Female | 26

Sitting for a while can make your legs swell. This happens when your blood gets stuck in your lower legs. You'll notice puffy, heavy, tight legs. It's caused by bad blood flow. To help with the swelling, get your legs higher than your heart. Move around every hour. Put on compression socks. These things will get your blood moving again and stop the swelling.

Hi , few days back due to extreme abdomen pain . I got an injection on my buttocks area. After few days ,I started feeling the injection area as a lump and eventually the lump size got some smaller but still after 2 months of injection,I still feel the area as a small lump . Also at times while walking and standing I feel a sort of nerve like pain throughout my leg from the injection area to the knees . May I know what can be done further ? Is the lump temporary? How can I avoid this pain ?

Female | 24

It’s not uncommon to experience a lump and discomfort after an injection, as some swelling or residual medication can occur. The lump is likely temporary, but nerve-like pain may suggest irritation in the area. To alleviate discomfort, consider applying warm compresses and gently massaging the area, if comfortable. Staying active and performing stretching exercises can also help. However, since symptoms persist, I encourage you to consult a orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a tailored plan to address your concerns effectively and ensure proper healing.

Had left body pain from shoulder to toe

Male | 22

Having pain from shoulder down to toe seems uncomfortable. A pinched nerve may cause this pain. A nerve gets pressed or squeezed, thus leading to this issue. Move gently, avoid activities increasing pain. If pain persists, visit an orthopedist for proper advice and treatment.

I got my acl and mcl surgery 4 weeks ago and now I walk without any support or knee brace it is safe or not ?? And today at bending my knee I hear a cracking sound it is possible of break the repaired acl

Male | 24

A cracking sound heard during knee flexion may raise a red flag. It might be caused by the rupture of scar tissue or movement of the joint. However, don't be frightened. Initially, it is not likely that the repaired ACL has been torn again. Still, though, for your good, stay away from practices that hurt or cause any discomfort. Keep being careful, and maybe set up a visit with your surgeon to check that everything is okay.

Hi I'm 52 yrs old female with torn ACL ligament, worn cartilage and torn meniscus I'm confused wether to go for surgical reconstruction or to go with life style modifications. But without medicines the pain gets aggressive.

Female | 53

Disrupted ALC, injured cartilage, and torn menisci are often associated with more pain while moving. After all, surgical reconstruction helps in restoring normal function and thus relieving the pain, if all other measures remain unsuccessful. Lifestyle transformation including physical therapy and diet management also will help with symptom relief. A consultation with an orthopedist, who will give you options based on your problem, can be another approach. You should also consult an orthopedist.

My age is 73 I have a muscle problem due to this I have started losing grip in my right hand can you recommend some vatiman for this please

Male | 73

When you mention muscle issues and difficulty gripping with your right hand, it suggests some weakness. This could be due to a lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B12. You can get this vitamin from foods like fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. It’s a good idea to talk to an orthopedist about your problem for better guidance.
