Should I Exercise with L5-S1 Disc Protrusion?

Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with back pain, I've been to doctors loads of times for the past 7-8 months but all they been telling me is to take pain killers and exercise, ive had a MRI scan which showed L5-S1 left subarticular disc protrusion and L4-5 facet joint arthropathies is that right for them to keep telling me to exercise?

The MRI scan reveals a disc disorder, along with an ache from the facet joint. Workouts can make your muscles healthier and render them more flexible, which is very helpful when managing the pain. You really must stick to the exercise plan of the physiotherapist without fail to reduce the damage caused. Painkillers are one way of pain relief, but the long-term solution comes from exercise, and maybe a few more such treatments like physical therapy depending on the severity of the problem.

I have knee pain from four days

Male | K SADAK VALI

Knee pain can come from several materials, for example, injury, overuse, or arthritis. Signs of such can be swelling, stiffness, or hard-to-move knee. To ease the pain, lying down, putting on ice packs, and raising the leg are some of the things you should do. If the pain does not go away, get it evaluated by an orthopedist.

Pain in buttocks to bottom of the leg after periods

Female | 21

This kind of pain may happen from sciatica. Sciatica is when a nerve in your back gets bothered. It is common for this pain to come after your period because of changes in your body. To help with this, try using a hot pad and doing easy stretches to feel better. If the pain keeps going or gets worse, it is good to talk with an orthopedist to find more ways to treat it.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

I am 25 year old female and have backache for last 2 months. Numbness in hands , right hip and stomach pain, right feet pain.what is the reason? Which problem

Female | 25

It's understandable to be concerned about persistent discomfort. Your symptoms, including back pain, numbness, and discomfort in various areas, may stem from conditions affecting the nerves, muscles, or joints. Potential causes could include muscle strain, a herniated disc, or even nerve compression. It's essential to prioritize your health by seeking a professional evaluation. A doctor can conduct necessary tests and provide a tailored treatment plan, which may include physical therapy, medication, or other supportive measures. Remember, early intervention can lead to better outcomes, so don't hesitate to reach out for medical advice. Take care!

How soon can you exercise after knee arthroscopy

You have to start exercises immediately after Arthroscopy surgery. Weight bearing with walker is started immediately as knee range of motion exercises and isometric quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises are started immediately

Im a 18 year old male havin leg injury some 2 to 3 months ago and it'll Heald but there is a puss in side so i make a small hole to gett it out but now the hole cant gets heal... So what can i do

Male | 19

Pus is a sign of infection; hence, your wound can be infected. The next steps are to keep clean areas, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover them with a bandage. Moreover, you need to talk to a doctor to be sure the wound is healing well.

I have problem in back bone pain over 10 years recently i have very pain

Female | 45

Chronic pain in the spine often results from factors like muscular tension, disc issues, or arthritis. Symptoms can include stiffness, sharp discomfort, or radiating sensations. To manage this, consider gentle stretches, regular physical activity, and maintaining good posture. Heat therapy may provide relief as well. It's essential to listen to your body and avoid excessive strain. However, given the duration and severity of your discomfort, consulting an orthopedist is crucial for tailored advice and potential treatments like physical therapy or medications.

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.

27 years old and currently I'm feeling sever left Neck pain which worse during sitting for long periods to read and feel cracking sound when I press my Left neck! I have no family history of CA! My mother once reported to have Increased Thyroid stimulating hormone but it is not significant

Male | 27

In this case, prolonged sitting in one position and repetitive neck movements can serve as the causes. The popping is now attributed to the presence of air bubbles in the joints. It's very nice that you don't have a family background of cancer. If you can, do gentle neck exercises along with stretching. You may also use heat or ice for relief. If the pain still does not go away, you can look for an orthopedist for more help.

Three months after hip replacement surgery, it is not uncommon to have swelling. But in case of pain or redness connected with swelling, the orthopedic surgeon should be consulted. They might instead refer you to a joint replacement specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi..I am a 39 year old female and slipped and fell on a wet floor at a function that I attended. However my foot started swelling up and my knee and the side of my knee is painful and swollen although I can walk with a limp so I don't think anything is broken...could it be Muscle injury or tendons etc...

Female | 39

According to the symptoms you are going through, it is likely that you bruised your knee or your muscles or tendons around it got injured. This might present as a combination of swelling, pain, and immobility of the leg Lie down while putting your feet up, apply a cold compress to the area, stretch your leg, and wrap it with a long elastic bandage to reduce swelling. If the pain persists, replays, or intensifies, or you find it hard to bear its weight, go to the orthopaedist.

I’m 56 year old lady. I have pain in left hand since last 2 months. My Vitamin D recent one week ago test shows value 23.84 Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? Please guide.

Female | 56

Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.
