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.

Male | 19
Bowlegs occur when a person stands with their feet together and their knees far apart. Symptoms of bowlegs may include pain around the ankle or knee joint. Conditions such as rickets or inherent bone formation can cause a person to be bowlegged. Exercises or braces may help correct mild cases; more severe instances might require surgery. It is best to consult an orthopedic surgeon.

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'm afjal after 10 days my back pan my uric acid test report for 5.9
Male | 29
Back pain can happen for many reasons, like strained muscles or poor posture. A uric acid level of 5.9 might be high and could be due to gout, which occurs when crystals form in the joints. To lower uric acid, drink plenty of water and avoid red meat and alcohol, as they are high in purines. It's also important to maintain good posture, do gentle stretches, and avoid lifting heavy objects to protect your back. If the pain continues, seeing an orthopedist is the best way to get proper advice and treatment.

what if i am a 62 years of woman having a inner hody pain near my chest because i got kicked there by someone's leg and If i do any work i am having a bad pain
Female | 62
The reason you are hurting can be a bruise or it can be a rib fracture as well. Common symptoms are stabbing pain, tenderness, and dyspnea when you breathe deeply. To relieve the pain, rest, make up the ice pack, and take pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain worsens or doesn't go away, it's best to consult a cardiologist. In the meantime, you should not do high-impact activities that you know will aggravate the pain.

There is a bony protrusion on my right metatarsal region
Female | 45
You likely have an extra bone growth called a bone spur. It causes a painful bony bump on your right foot's metatarsal area. This happens when you walk or stand. Wear shoes with good support and cushioned insoles. This should help ease discomfort. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist.

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.

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.

Have back pain issue. Is stem cell therapy can treat the back pain issue
Female | 78
Back pain could be due to bad posture, lifting heavy weights, or old injuries. Stem cell therapy is a treatment that makes use of the body's own cells to repair damaged tissues. It is like your body being assisted to recover. Some people have experienced the help of this therapy along with the research it is still undergoing. This is a matter that should be discussed with an orthopedist.

My son recently has hurt his wrist or hand he fell now his knuckle is enlarged and weirdly shaped and a bit bulky and feels different this happens 3 days ago
Male | 14
Your kid may have injured a knuckle while he landed. All the symptoms, even the growth of the knuckle, its strange shape, and heavy sensation do show a fracture or dislocation. So, applying ice is a typical solution to reduce any swelling the hand has. It means that once the swelling has shrunk using ice, one can then gently bandage the hand. The best thing to do is to visit an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment.

I am having frozen shoulder for last 4 months there is no pain but the shoulder is stiff cannot move up is there any creme for frozen shoulder relief
Male | 48
This happens when tissues around the shoulder joint get tight. It can make arm movement hard. No pain is good, but the stiffness can bother you. There is no cream just for frozen shoulder relief. But easy stretches and physical therapy can loosen the shoulder over time. It is key to move the shoulder as much as you can without pushing too much. If stiffness remains, get advice from an orthoopedist.

I have got burn in my ankle and i got wound.How Can i heal this fast.
Male | 25
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 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.
