Lumbar pain after a bone graft surgery is a normal occurrence. This discomfort can be attributed to the fact that the tissues of the wounded area and before surgery the bone protrudes below the spine instead of being healed. It is important to sustain the gentle movement of the vertebrae to prevent being immobile as compared to before these strenuous activities. You can also use warm compresses and simple stretching to help reduce pain. You should see an orthopedist to diagnose the problem and give appropriate medication.

I have a lump on my foot and I was wondering if it was something that I needed to get looked at immediately.
Female | 22
Lumps can form on feet for various reasons. They might result from an impact, like bumping against something. Or they could signify a cyst or wart. If the lump causes discomfort, grows larger, or interferes with walking, seeking medical attention is advisable. An orthopedist can properly diagnose and treat the condition based on the lump's nature.

Male | 34
Did you consult with neurologist or orthopedist? If not then please do that. They can diagnose the underlying cause of the sciatica and provide appropriate treatment. Some self-care measures such as taking over-the-counter pain relievers, gentle stretching, and hot/cold compresses may also help to get rid of the symptoms. However, these measures should only be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Considering your symptoms, you may have a wrist sprain or ligament injury. It is recommended to see an Orthopedic doctor in order to get a correct diagnosis and treatment.

Recently i am facing joint pain, specially knee pain. cannot sleep more than 5 hours. after waking up from bed too much of back pain, i am taking calcium medicine and vitamin D3 but still the same problem
Female | 43
Arthritis afflicts joints, causing swelling and soreness. Your knee pain, trouble sleeping, and back ache indicate this condition. Gentle exercises like swimming or walking can strengthen muscles, complementing calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. Consulting an orthopedist about physical therapy or pain medication may provide additional relief. With proper treatment, managing arthritis symptoms becomes more manageable.

You feel swelling, then pain. The pain comes and goes. But, it gets worse over time. This may be inflammation. Inflammation happens from injury, infection, or health problems. Rest the swollen area. Apply ice packs. Take pain medicine from a pharmacy. If the pain continues, see an orthopedist.

i am 24 years and my bone mineral density score is -2 and vitamin d level is 14
Male | anvesh
It appears you've been diagnosed with low bone density and vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to bone pain, weak muscles, and fractures. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, including dairy products, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure, is crucial for bone health. Your doctor may recommend vitamin D supplements to improve your calcium levels. Additionally, maintaining a nutritious diet and engaging in exercises like running and strength training prescribed by your orthopedic doctor can help maintain bone strength and overall health.

Male | 14
You could be having turf toe, which is typical when doing sports such as football. Turf toe occurs when the big toe joint is injured, and can cause pain. Symptoms are swelling, pain, and limited movement of the toe. To assist in the healing process, try to rest your foot, use ice packs, and wear supportive shoes. Ignoring the pain, and consulting with the family doctor is a better option.
