Could my elbow pain be a lingering injury?
Hi, I fell on my elbow, had an inflamed tendon preventing me from extending my arm fully for a couple of weeks and an infection, the wound took 2 months to heal as it got infected but did heal up fine, it was xrayed and all seemed fine. It's now been 8 months, the point of my elbow doesn't feel as smooth as the other one now, it hurts more when I bang that elbow, it hurts when I do specific exercises like press ups or bicep curls and tricep overhead extensions (those hurt the most), the pain is like a strong stinging pain. I wanted to ask if this sounds like any specific injury or condition?

You could have developed bursitis, an inflamed condition of the sacs cushioning your joints. When these sacs become irritated, movements might cause pain. Ice packs may help, as can avoiding aggravating activities and gentle stretches. However, if pain persists, consult an orthopedist. They'll properly assess and recommend next steps for managing this elbow issue.

My mother was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014. She was operated on and given 12 of chemotherapy. Now she is cancer free but she has some side effect of chemotherapy on her leg due to which her leg is cramp which doctor should she see for treatment?
Female | 60
The cramping in her leg could be a side effect of the chemotherapy she received. This is called peripheral neuropathy, which is a very common problem. Among the symptoms are pain, tingling, and muscle weakness. She should make an appointment with a neurologist for an evaluation and the doctor can find out what could be the possible treatments. In the meanwhile, mild flexing and massaging of the painful leg might be of benefit in the spasm reduction.

I m SANJAY I have sleep disc problem right leg vibret in feet and right side but heavy
Male | 28
It looks like a slipped disc is the main reason for your complaints. This is because one of the discs in your spine has shifted away from its normal place and has come in the way of the nearby nerves. Consequently, you may experience a vibrating sensation and a feeling of heaviness on one side of your body, especially in your left leg and foot. To help with this, it's necessary to take a rest, stay away from heavy lifting, and perform light exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist.

Female | 54
It's great that you've dedicated so many years to your work, but if you're experiencing health issues, it's important not to ignore them. Given your long-term involvement in food service, you may be prone to conditions related to prolonged standing, repetitive movements, or stress. Visit an internal orthopedist or a general physician who can evaluate your concerns and guide you on the next steps.

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you
Female | 33
You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

Hi, I was playing football and me and a mate were tackling I went to kick the football and accidentally caught the front of my ankle on the goal post. It has no swelling but I am having to use my umbrella to stay stood up and I can't put much pressure on it.
Male | 15
Your ankle's front is the shin area. Maybe you hurt your shin or stretched ligaments after hitting that post. You're struggling to stand and feeling pain - natural with ankle injuries. Rest your ankle, apply an icepack to cut swelling, and raise your leg. Use crutches to avoid placing weight on it. If pain doesn't ease, see an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment advice.

Let me know norfita in the leg
Male | 88
You might have a condition called sciatica in your leg. When the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated, it can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in the leg. This can happen if there is pressure on this nerve from muscles or a slipped disc in the spine. You can relieve the symptoms with rest, gentle exercises, and applying ice or heat packs locally. If the pain worsens, visit an orthopedist.

I have phase 2 ACL injury. Now I can climb stairs but sometimes feel pain slightly during downstairs. But there is slight swelling. Should I go for Physiotherapy? I supposed to journey by bus and auto. Sometimes feels slight buckles in my knee.
Male | 35
You better see an Orthopedic Specialist. ACL injuries necessitate accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent additional damage. Sometimes physiotherapy may be beneficial, but it is more advisable to seek the advice of a specialist in order to get an adequate treatment regimen. Since the buckling can be a symptom of an unstable joint, you must address it immediately.

Does Knee replacement affect your nerves?
Nerve damage may also occur as a result of knee replacement surgery because the peroneal nerve resides close to the tibia bone. In fact, nerve damage is one reason why some patients with knee replacement complain of persistent lateral knee pain and loss of function.
Consult orthopedists, who will explain you in detail about the complications of knee replacement surgery. Hope our answer helps you.

Hi sir my kid is 18 months old his right leg is in curve shape while walking the foot is inside
Male | 18 months
Your child may have a condition called intoeing, where the foot turns inward while walking. This is quite common in young children and usually corrects itself as they grow. However, to ensure proper development, consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They can assess the condition and suggest any necessary treatment or exercises.

I’m 50 yrs old and have been suffering with planters fasciitis for years. It started after working at Home Depot. I seen an orthopedic back in 2002 ish, got an injection and was fine. I then left HD and came back yrs later. Now it’s back and I believe I’m also dealing with Achilles tendonitis. My mother who drove a bus for 30 yrs has also dealt with this for a very long time. She can barely walk and I’ve started limping. I don’t want this to slow me down but the doctors here in Wichita Falls are not much help and my mother hasn’t been able to get any relief in California or now in Arizona. My question is is there anything we can do. I have 6 kids, 3 of which are still in school. I can’t just slow down. And I hate seeing how miserably mother is. We are both taking Duloxitine, which helps sometimes. Besides surgery is there anything we can do?
Female | 50
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can be quite bothersome, but there are several ways to ease the pain. Try stretching exercises for your calves and feet, wear supportive shoes, use orthotic inserts, apply ice to reduce inflammation, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also important to avoid activities that make the pain worse.

How to get rid of arthritis in fingers?
Female | 45
Acupuncture helps in opening up the energy level ( commonly referred as 'Qi' in acupuncture theory).
Acupuncture needles are put on various parts of the body which helps in increasing the blood flow.
It has an anti inflammatory effect. It stops body's inflammatory response, increases blood flow and relaxes muscle tone. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body. Acupuncture releases endorphins which are natural hormones to reduce the feeling of pain and puts the patient in ultimate relaxed state i.e feeling of well being.
Electro acupuncture pulsates electric current through the needles.
Such procedure gives quick response and helps in reducing both pain and inflammation in people with arthritis.
