Am I Experiencing Left Side Back Pain?

Hi Ian 23 and back pain on my left side

Joint Replacement Surgeon

Answered on 30th Aug '24

Back pain can occur for several reasons like muscle strain from improper posture or lifting heavy things wrong. Other times it can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Try using hot or cold packs on the area, gentle stretching, and taking it easy for a bit first. If the pain persists or gets worse, it's wise to get it checked by an orthopedist to find out what's the matter.

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 am 18 years ol girl I have back pain and pain in arms

Female | 18

You're having a hard time with back pain and arm pain. These are signs that may be brought on by factors such as bad posture, heavy bags, or sitting in an uncomfortable position for too long. Don't forget to take a break now and then, stretch, and do some light exercises like yoga which can help alleviate the ache. Additionally, you could use a hot water bottle or take a warm bath for relief.

For back pain, consult an orthopedist to identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Pain medications should be prescribed by a doctor. Avoid self medicating and consider non pharmacological approaches alongside medication.

I fell on my wrist 6 months ago and still have pain when I put pressure on it and after physical activity, the pain is located on the pinky side of the hand and there is a clicking noise when I twist my wrist.

Female | 24

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. The specialist will conduct a physical examination and may suggest imaging tests to establish the severity of injury. Procrastination in treatment can cause chronic problems.

I got little accident by scooty I felt 3 days before.. there is no more scratch... But my toe (leg) is swelled and bood clott got reddish patch and having pain.. please suggest me what to do.

Female | 17

You may be suffering from a blood clot in your leg as a result of the accident. Injury to the leg causes blood to pool and form a clot causing swelling, redness, and pain. This is serious because the clot may break free and travel to other parts of your body. Elevate your leg above your heart, apply ice, and take a break. When the pain persists or becomes severe, go to the nearest hospital immediately.

Burns occur when skin contacts hot items like­ fire or boiling water. The are­a might be red, swollen, and painful. To he­al faster, gently clean the­ wound, apply burn cream, and bandage it. Kee­p it clean and dry for a few days. If it doesn't improve­ or you notice pus or more pain, see­ a healthcare provider. But for now, ke­ep it clean and protecte­d.

I had acl surgery 2 months ago , i started my rehab 1 month and 15 days a go , i relased that there is some lachman in my knee is it because my muscles are weak or because a failed surgery ?

I suggest that you see your orthopedic surgeon right away. Lachman is the presence of a failed surgery or weak muscles. Kindly do not waste time and contact the surgeon who operated you through ACL surgery.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.
