Can I recover from bulging disc and return to active lifestyle?
Hi Im a 26yo female, I got a lumbar MRI done because my back pain was giving me trouble to do daily activities, I cant bend forward, walk longish distances and it feels tight and hurts even when sitting or laying all these symptoms were random, I havent fell nor lifted anything too heavy, results say I have buldging associated with anular tear discs L4 and L5. And deshidrated discs L4 and L5. What does this mean? Will I get better without surgery? Will I ever get back to normal? Will I ever be able to go back to the gym and cycling? I WILL take the results to the doctor once I get my paycheck but I wanna get a 2nd opinion in the meantime. Thanks

Bulging and annular tear discs at L4 and L5 mean the discs in your lower back are damaged and dehydrated, which is causing your pain. Most cases improve with physical therapy, rest, and medication, and surgery is often not needed. However, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist for a proper treatment plan. They can give you the best advice on recovery and return to activities like gym and cycling.

Toenail is broken by bike stand
Male | 25
Your toenail got broken by the bike stand. You may see a bruise, pain, and swelling in the area. The toenail might also be damaged. To help, make sure to wash the area, use a bandage, and watch for signs of infection. If you want to, you can take painkiller medicine. The most important thing is to let it heal naturally.

Severe low back pain Not movable stage from night
Female | 28
This may occur from overworking your muscles, having a bad posture and getting some diseases. To start feeling better, stretch gently, use ice or heat packs, and try taking nonprescription painkillers. It would be best if you spoke to an orthopedist if improvement doesn't happen within a few days.

Since your uric acid levels are now normal but you're still experiencing pain and swelling, it's important to follow up with your orthopedic doctor. They might need to adjust their treatment or explore other possible causes.

I just need to know if I’m over reacting or I need to express the issue? I have a spot on my thigh but it’s larger and I hadn’t noticed it until now when I stood up and it really hurt. It’s very painful since and it’s purple and warm and red and swelling and it worried me a lot
Female | 16
It's understandable to feel concerned about the spot on your thigh, especially given the pain, warmth, swelling, and color changes you've noticed. These symptoms could suggest inflammation or possibly a bruise, but they warrant careful attention. It’s best to monitor the area for any changes in size, color, or intensity of pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, I recommend consulting a orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Today, my father injured his leg with a rod from a moving bike. Thankfully, the injury is not severe, but his leg is swollen and painful. We are applying an ice pack and using Volini spray. There is no redness, numbness, wound, or cut. A few days ago, he also experienced muscle cramps in the same leg. I'm very worried. Could you please advise me on what to do next?
Male | 49
A muscle injury may have developed in your father due to the impact of a rod striking his leg. This type of injury often results in swelling and pain as well. The muscle cramps he had earlier may be linked to this incident. Continue applying the ice pack and using Volini spray for swelling and pain relief. Prevent him from exposing his leg to any extra tension and ensure he does not move his injured leg. If the pain remains or gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

How to cope up sciatica ,that have been facing 3 months?
Male | 34
Did you consult with neurologist or orthopedist? If not then please do that. They can diagnose the underlying cause of the sciatica and provide appropriate treatment. Some self-care measures such as taking over-the-counter pain relievers, gentle stretching, and hot/cold compresses may also help to get rid of the symptoms. However, these measures should only be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Kulhe ki haddi Tut gayi hai meri age 76 saal hai kya operation karna sahi hoga ya nahi answer me. Please tell a suggestion
Male | 76
Generally, surgery is the first thing among older people with a broken hip that is used to help with healing and mobility. The operation may be the only way to heal the fracture by getting it back in the right place. It's crucial to have a conversation about the best treatment approach for you with an orthopedist.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion
Female | Ranganayagi
Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

I have knee pain from the last two years. Doctors advised for knee replacement but i dont want to go for knee placement. Will physiotherapy will do. Pl advise.
Female | 64
Physiotherapy can ease knee pain but only if the condition is not too serious. You should see an orthopedic specialist who will be able to assess your knee and prescribe effective treatment. A physiotherapist can collaborate with the orthopedic specialist to provide integrated treatment.

I’m curious how much this usually cost, I have pre existing sprain or slight tears as well. That I’m sure this or stem cells else where could fix. I’m just looking for a ball park range since insurance won’t convert it
Male | 31
It is difficult to estimate the cost without knowing the severity of your injury and the treatment required. You can also visit hospitals that provide stem cell therapy and discuss your options with the specialists and getting a detailed cost breakdown, insurance coverage before proceeding with any treatment.

Im 23 yrs girl, having arthritis from 2 yrs and mostly in above elbow and fingers and arms
Female | 22
Arthritis makes joints hurt and hard to move. In your case, it impacts your elbows, fingers, and arms. This happens due to swelling in your joints. To make the pain better, try easy exercises, use hot or cold packs, and take medicine from an orthopedist. Taking care of your health is key!

Foot bone rising happens due to severe pain and swelling. It can result from wounds or injuries, or excessive usage. Heavy lifting may also cause it. Resting, elevating feet can help. Soaking feet in ginger or saltwater, keeping them cool brings relief. Consult an orthopedist if discomfort persists.

Hello! I am Jelena from Belgrade. I have 29 years and pains started when I was 17 years. Pains from the beginning are the same, strong, and constant. I have pains while sitting, standing, walking, sleeping. I started swimming but can’t see any improvement. I have been at physiotherapist, hyperbaric therapy, and I had surgery 2 years ago in Belgrade. They told me they did a fusion surgery of the spine (L3, L4), and they decompressed vertebras and input disc but I don’t feel anything better from the surgery at all, not even 1% percent. Behalf of the same pain, I can feel one of the screws when touching its place, it causes pain while I sitting on a chair or even laying in bed. The main pain is in my lower back, from the middle of the spine down to the gluteus. Another issue I have is that I broke my coccyx and it was crookedly fused, which also makes me a pain. I have pictures of MRI and I would love to send you. I want to thank you again for your time and looking forward to your reply. I will send the MRI as soon as you say. Thanks, Best Regards, Jelena Rmus

The spine surgery (L3, L4 fusion) and fractured tailbone might be causing your persistent discomfort. Let's look closely at your MRI scans to figure out what's going on. I suggest consulting an expert spine doctor for a thorough check-up and tailored treatment plan.

Male | 59
Lower back pain due to a herniated disk can cause pain in the lower abdomen and testicles. Get medical attention for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, medications, and, in severe cases, surgery. Avoid self diagnosis and consult an orthopedic for personalized care.
