The symptoms you have explained, such as the inability to walk and numbness of the hand following delivery, are indicative of obstetric brachial plexopathy. This is a condition that occurs when the nerves around your shoulder are injured during the birthing process. Physical therapy can enhance your muscle power and flexibility. Physical therapists can give the right evaluation and the measures that work for them. I recommend consulting a physical therapist for further advice.

Why is that my waist right side is paining me that I even find it difficult to walk and I can't even stand straight but when I touch my waist I can't feel any pain but I'm rather feeling It inside me making it difficult for me to walk and I can't even stand straight

You may be having muscle pain on your right side. This can happen when you use your muscles too much or twist them in that part of your body. Even though it's not painful to the touch, the discomfort in your body is causing you to walk awkwardly and to stand upright. Resting, applying ice, and gentle stretching will help lessen the pain. If it doesn't improve, it's best to get the advice of a orthopedist.

Surgery is typically necessary for a 1.6mm gap in scraped BONE, as a POP alone is usually not enough for complete healing...

The patient exhibits symptoms ranging from head and neck pain to radiating pain from the right side of the neck to the right hand, accompanied by discomfort in the left leg and chest, along with a lack of interest in regular activities. Identify the underlying issue.

A pinched nerve might cause your pain. Pressure on nerves from surrounding parts can cause this. Symptoms include hurt from neck down arm. You may feel discomfort elsewhere like leg or chest too. To feel better, rest, stretch gently, and maybe get physical therapy.

Bone infection and water retention in both legs along with swelling
Male | 14
In bone infections, there is usually swelling and sensitivity in the region where it occurs. Retaining water in both legs and feet is an alert sign of a health condition that needs medical attention. It is highly recommended to consult a specialist like a rheumatologist or an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello. Please I had a mid shaft humerus fracture in my left arm about two weeks ago. A cast was made on it, but I have been having shake feeling/ swing feeling in the fracture spot lately. I want to know if that feeling is normal and when the feeling stop. Thank you
Male | 20
If your arm is broken, it may feel wobbly or loose at the site of the fracture. This sensation occurs because the bones are mending themselves and trying to realign. Such feelings can last for several weeks. Ensure that you raise your arm above the level of your heart and refrain from putting any weight on it. In case this feeling doesn’t improve or becomes worse, let your orthopedist know.

Perineural cyst is painfull?
Female | 33
A perineural cyst can hurt sometimes. These fluid-filled sacs grow near lower back nerves. They cause back pain, leg pain, numbness. The exact reason is unclear, but old injuries or genes may cause them. Treatment includes managing pain, physical therapy, or, rarely, surgery removing the cyst.

My name is Rosette i am 26 years old (female) i have been having pain in the left rib side and i did all the check up, exams at différent clinics but the results are Always negative. Before the pain could come for weeks and calm while getting some pain injections but when it Comes back it's as if it's something that IS growing the pain become worse now it's affecting the stomach too, its hard for me to find a simple position to sleep
Female | 26
The normal test results might point to the condition called costochondritis, which involves the inflammation of the cartilage linking your ribs to the breastbone. Due to cartilage inflammation, the pain can be stabbing and may be felt more severely when you are active or deep breathing. Although it can be hard to heal the condition related to this, there are things you can do to help heal it. Stay away from things that activate the pain, positional ice or heat to the site, and over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen. See an orthopedist in time to get a full evaluation.

Female | 52
Your MRI shows a disc problem in your lower back, specifically at the L4-L5 level. This is causing pressure on nerves, leading to back pain and sciatica on the right side. It occurs when the soft material inside the disc pushes out. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain medications, and possibly surgery if severe. Make sure to follow up with an orthopedist for the best advice.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.
Male | 16
Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

My son has had a snowmobile accident that removed his bicep and the other small muscle on the front of his dominant hand. The ulnar and radial nerve are functional after the initial surgery. He is in the anchorage hospital. But wants the best care and treatment to gain as much use back from his arm as possible. Would he benefit from being moved to a level 1 trauma center from where he is at. Also he wants as rapid of treatment in the healing as possible.
Male | 39
The functioning nerves following the procedure are promising. Relocating him to a trauma facility could benefit recovery, as they focus on treating severe injuries. Immediate care is crucial for optimal healing. The trauma center offers specialized treatment, therapies, and resources for the best possible outcome.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is frequently assumed to be a source of lower back and/or leg discomfort, however it is sometimes difficult to diagnose. The sacroiliac joint, which connects the triangle bone at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum) to the pelvis, can cause discomfort if its natural mobility is disrupted. More precisely, sacroiliac joint discomfort can be caused by excessive or insufficient movement.
• Leg pain produced by sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be difficult to distinguish from radiating leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (sciatica) since they can feel quite similar.
• The major reasons of SI joint dysfunction include - Too much or lack of movement.
• Too much movement in the sacroiliac joint (hypermobility or instability) can cause the pelvis to feel unstable and produce discomfort. Excessive mobility causes pain in the lower back and/or hip, which can extend into the groin, whereas lack of movement (hypomobility or fixation) can result in muscular tension, discomfort, and a reduction in mobility.
• Sacroiliac joint inflammation (sacroiliitis) can also cause pelvic discomfort and stiffness. Inflammation may arise as a result of sacroiliac joint dysfunction or as a result of an infection, rheumatoid disease, or other cause.
• There is no one-size-fits-all solution for controlling SI joint discomfort. For successful pain management, a combination of non-surgical therapies is frequently required.
• Treatment includes – resting for 1 to 2 days, applying ice or heat (applying it to lower back reduces inflammation and alleviates pain and discomfort; applying around the joint provides relief from pain), pain relievers like paracetamol and inflammation treating agents such as NSAID’s are recommended in case of mild or moderate pain relief. Muscle relaxants or high-end pain killers can be prescribed in case of episodes of severe and acute pain, Manual manipulation can be effective if sacroiliac joint pain is caused due to too little movement, Support or braces can be used to stabilize the pelvic area and sacroiliac joint injections such as anaesthetics such as lidocaine along with anti-inflammatory medicine like corticosteroids are given to reduce inflammation and pain.
Consult an Orthopedics for further investigations and customised treatment.

I think I broke my ankle/ foot in my rugby game today
Female | 15
A possible foot or ankle injury during rugby is concerning. Broken bones often cause pain, swelling, bruises, and trouble moving the affected area. If suspecting a break, rest it and apply ice, avoiding weight on that limb. Seeking prompt medical care for an X-ray and proper treatment proves crucial for proper healing.

Hi, about one month ago i was doing yoga and while doing Surya namaskar my left leg knee got twisted little badly i went to the nearest dispensary. They prescribed some medicine and didn't say much. I also applied some oil for pain relief and used crap bandage. It felt fine after 7-8 days. Now recently i went for trekking and there my same leg slipped now I'm having little discomfort in knee so should I go to doctor and do some x-ray or it will be fine.
Female | 26
I'm not a doctor, but if you experienced a knee injury that still causes discomfort after a month, it might be a good idea to seek medical attention. It's possible that the initial injury did not fully heal, and the recent slip during trekking may have exacerbated the problem. You should consider seeing an orthopedic doctor or an orthopedic specialist.
