First you need to be clinically evaluated for your symptoms and signs. And then a standing knee X-ray to evalute the grade of Osteoarthritis.
Grade 1,2 and upto 3 - stem Cell therapies like PRP, ACS ADMSCs can be tried. But there is no guarntee
Grade 4 Osteoarthritis will require Total Knee Replacement
Other things to be noted - You might be having Meniscus root tear or other pathologies which might need MRI for evaluation and treatment

In November 2023 I was diagnosed with bad soft tissue damage at the top of my foot and my ankle on my right ankle. It’s gotten worse. I was using KT tape for a while.
Female | 15
You may have bad pain in the soft tissues of your foot and ankle. This can occur from things like overuse or injury. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, or problems moving your foot. It is important to rest, ice, and elevate your foot to help it heal. Ask your orthopedist about using special supports or braces to protect your foot while it heals.

I am a 17 year old female with a diagnosis of bertalottis syndrome which I take co-codamol 8/500 and an anti inflammatory for. For about 2 years I've been experiencing chronic pain in my wrists, knees, ankles and elbows. The pain is usually about a 3/4 usually and its an achey/strong pain but it often gets more intense like a flare up where it can go from a 6-10 where I am unable to move the affected body part.
Female | 17
You may face issues linked to Bertolotti's syndrome. Dealing with ongoing pain in various joints is not unusual with this condition. The achy, intense ache you describe, coupled with flare-ups, is a frequent symptom. Collaborating closely with an orthopedist to investigate diverse treatment choices that could enhance symptom management remains crucial. Exercising and physical therapy may prove advantageous too.

I am having pain in my right bum bone area and its affecting me when i walk. The pain is sharp and throbbing and sometime its making my leg and knees weak. but i have also missed my period but having cramps could this be related. I have drank celecoxib and cocodamol tablets but no relief. What could be wrong with me. I am 26 years old and and 5'9 in height
Female | 26
The pain, leg, and knee weakness, missed period, and cramping might be linked to sciatica, a condition where a nerve in your lower back is pressed, causing pain to radiate down your leg and potentially affecting your menstrual cycle. While celecoxib and co-codamol can help with pain, it's important to consult an orthopedist for a thorough check-up and accurate diagnosis.

my brother is 28 years old, and he just had ACL surgery a month ago. I'm curious about what activities he can safely resume at this point. Can you provide some guidance on what's generally acceptable 1 month post ACL surgery for someone his age?
Male | 28
Now, your brother can begin with light exercises such as walking and stationary cycling. He should refrain from high-impact activities such as running, jumping or twisting until he finishes his rehabilitation program. It would be wise to ask his orthopedic surgeon or a physical therapist for more information on the recovery process and advice about activities that he can engage in without risk.

I had a question I was eating and accidentally put to much sugar and my back being hurting for the pass 4 days
Male | 17
Eating too many sweet things can make your back hurt. Sugar can make your body inflamed, and that leads to pain in your back. You should eat less sweet foods and drinks. Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead. Drink lots of water too. Light exercise might also help your back feel better. If you don't feel relieved, contact an orthopedist.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/
Female | 21
You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

I have pain in the middle of my chest and upper back in between my shoulder blades. What could this be from? I’ve had a bad cough over the last few days so I was told possibly a pulled muscle?
Male | 27
Sometimes, coughing causes muscle strain. A lot of coughing makes chest and back muscles work hard. This can hurt those areas. To help with the pain, try using heat and taking medicine. Rest and avoid things making the pain worse. However, if the pain continues or gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

I am a 20 year old female. I had missed a step and fallen down on ground two days ago (I think I twisted my left ankle but I don't remember clearly). After that I have trouble putting weight on my left leg. It doesn't hurt when I am resting and even movement is possible. But whenever I walk, there is some sort of pull near the left ankle and it hurts whenever I try to put weight on it. I have done ice compresses and elevated it but still it pains whenever I walk. Is it a mild ankle sprain? what should i do next?
Female | 20
Consult a Physiotherapist if no relief then consult an Orthopedic.

Muscle distop is genitck My genitck report is - Sir please help me
Male | 22
If your genetic report for muscular dystrophy is negative, its less likely that you have inherited the genetic mutations associated with the disorder. Not all genetic mutations are detected by genetic testing, and other factors like environmental and lifestyle can also contribute to muscle weakness or wasting. Consult an orthopedist for proper diagnosis.

Dislocated my shoulder 2 weeks ago snowboarding. All pain is gone and range of motion is fine but I can now slide my shoulder back and forth by pressing with my opposite hand in a way the I can’t in my other shoulder. Thoughts?
Male | 19
I have a feeling that you might have a dislocated shoulder with shoulder instability. However, the fact that your pain is gone is only one of the things to worry about as the slipping of your shoulder back and forth is also alarming. You should see an orthopedic surgeon.

My father is 54 years old and he have Shoulder Arthritis. He is suffering a lot of pain . He daily apply hot water and pain reducing oilment but there is no improvement. .
Male | 54
Your father is feeling pain due to Shoulder Arthritis; it’s a common affliction. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder. The main causes are wear and tear on the joint and aging. Just applying hot water or ointments for pain relief is not adequate. For more effective treatments like physical therapy or medication, seek help from an orthopedist.

Muje back spin pain hora gai
Male | 18
Your back may hurt because of lifting heavy objects, sitting around too much, or moving the wrong way. To feel better you should rest as much as possible and use either ice packs or heating pads on the affected area for short periods. In addition, try some gentle stretching exercises but be careful not to overdo it. If the pain continues, visit an orthopedist.

I have pain since last few weeks in left arm shoulder or hip.
Female | 23
The pain can have various potential causes. These may include muscular strain or injury, joint problems such as arthritis or bursitis, nerve impingement, tendonitis, or, in some cases, heart related issues. Consult an orthopedic or general physician as they can conduct a physical examination and order any necessary tests or imaging to help determine the underlying cause of your pain.

Leg ankle heavy pain and swelling
Female | 25
An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

Based on the pelvis hip AP X-ray, it shows that you mayhave reduced joint space and sclerotic changes in the femoral head. Follow up with your orthopedic doctor for further treatment. They may recommend additional MRI test, to get a more detailed look at the problem area.

The symptoms you are experiencing could be a sign of a Frozen Shoulder which is when the tissue in your shoulder becomes thicker and tighter than normal. A physical therapist can suggest some exercises that will help improve your range of motion while reducing discomfort.

I'm 19 yrs old girl, I'm getting pain in my knee cap while going up the stairs,the pain gradually decreases when I stopped moving upstairs.I do feel the pain even more when I'm cycling on a steep or elevated.Normally I don't feel any pain while doing daily activities.I don't even know what causes me pain in my knees.I didn't fall down in the past,but I cycled too much during the covid time in between 2019-2021& may be that's when I started feeling pain for the 1st time. Can you tell me why this happens, can I know the name of this kind of pain so that I can take care of myself?
Female | 19
According to what you said, it seems like you might have patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is a condition where the kneecap does not move smoothly over the thigh bone thus resulting in pain. Doing cycling excessively can also trigger it. Rest the knee, perform some light stretches, and do some strengthening workouts. See an orthopedist if the pain persists.

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.
