Can I Have a Cortisone Injection with Testosterone Ethanate?
Hi, I'm taking 1.5ml of Testosterone Ethanate 300mg/ml once per week but I'm due to get a cortisone injection in my hand for trigger finger in 2 weeks time. Will this be ok to have whilst I'm taking this?

Answered on 23rd Oct '24
Testosterone Ethanate (T.E.) is a hormone, while cortisone is a medication used to reduce inflammation. Getting a cortisone injection for the trigger finger shouldn't be an issue while on T.E., as they work differently in the body. However, always inform your orthopedist about all medications you're taking. Trigger finger occurs due to tendon inflammation, causing fingers to get stuck in a bent position. A corticosteroid injection can reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms.

Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

I m 32 years age female last two having pain heels of legs x-ray n medicine done no effect x-ray shows enlargement of heel bones.
Female | 32
Acupuncture offers relief from chronic heel spurs and has proven record in treating calcaneal spur.
Extra bone tissue known as heel spurs which develop due to over stress of the foot can cause pain in back of heel. Electro Acupuncture points, Moxibustion, Acupressure and seed therapy have shown great relief in heel pain and inflammation. Also correction in the enlargement of heel bone is observed as the acupuncture treatment is taken on regular basis. I.e. 2-3 sessions weekly continued for a period of 1-2 months.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.
Male | 27
It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

Occasionally, patients may develop new symptoms or complications following spinal fusion surgery even after a few years. The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health. It is also advisable to watch for any changes and consult a spine specialist.

Spinal cord complete injury
Male | 24
Complete spinal cord injuries often result in permanent disability, and the exact level and severity depend on the location of the spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation therapy, assistive devices, and adaptive strategies are often used to help those with complete spinal cord injuries to regain as much independence and functionality as possible. Recovery from a complete spinal cord injury can be limited, but there have been improved outcomes for some.

Yes, you can do exercise or yoga in case of scapula pain as long as it does not increase discomfort. Nevertheless, it is wise to seek advice from an orthopedist before starting any exercise or yoga, as they can offer a proper diagnosis and give the right treatment based on your health history.

From Last one month onwards pain at forearm
Female | 32
For a month, your forearm hurt. This is likely from doing too many motions. Using muscles too much, like repeating movements. Or maybe straining your arm. It's possible you had an injury or inflammation. Rest your arm. Put ice on it. Take pain medication. But if it doesn't stop hurting, see an orthopedist. They can find out why and give treatment to make it better.

i can't move my wrist and arm i think its broken
Female | 15
Falling can cause your arm to break. Bones may crack from an impact, accident, or heavy blow, leading to pain and swelling. Moving the arm becomes challenging. At the hospital, doctors will examine X-rays to identify the fracture. Treatment varies: some breaks can be stabilized with a cast, while more severe breaks may require surgery. Seeking medical care from an orthopedist is crucial to ensure the bone heals properly.

Female | Awantika
Back pain can be a lot of reasons such as muscle strain or even a slipped disc. In some cases, painkillers may not be enough to get you on the right track. It is the first step in getting the proper treatment, so I recommend getting the help of an orthopedist who can guide you with exercises or physical therapy to make your back muscles stronger and soothe the pain.

I feel pain chest pain while breathing out when move head downward
Male | 21
When breathing out or moving your head down, you experience chest discomfort. This issue stems from muscle strain between ribs or in the chest wall area. Occasionally, rib joint inflammation can cause this sensation. To alleviate symptoms, rest is recommended, along with warm compresses on the affected area and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the condition persists, consulting an orthopedist may be advisable.

Male | 12
Your child could have congenital scoliosis - a curved spine. This happens due to abnormal growth before birth. Symptoms are uneven shoulders, or hips. In some cases, a brace helps. But surgery may be needed if the curve is severe. Make sure to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They'll discuss the best treatment options for your child's spine.

I am 21 years old and I've got severe neck from past a year when I move my neck side way's I feel cracking sound from it and pains now extended to back
Male | 21
You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.

Male | 21
Possible that you got an infection that can bring fever, and inflate your infected leg even when you are not injured. They are infectious illnesses that result when noxious bacteria infest us. Relax, take in plenty of fluids, and support your leg in an elevated position. See an orthopedic specialist for treatment.
