What should I do about increasing back pain?
Hi, I'm Tanille Henrico. I had a decompression and fusion back surgery on my lower back 5 years ago. And I'm on Lyrica 75mg twice a day and Neurontin 500mg three times a day. My back is now starting to get more and more painful by the day. And I must drink extra pain medication every day. What must I do? Please whatsapp me back

Looks like you're suffering from a lot of backache. Even though Lyrica and Neurontin kinds of drugs are being taken, back pain may worsen, and this may be a brand new problem or the deterioration of what used to be. You have to meet your doctor for a check-up to diagnose the cause of the recurrent pain. Sometimes, it is necessary to change your meds or use additional treatments to reduce the pain as much as possible.

When I was in the 8th class my arm was broken which remained crooked after joining and I feel very uncomfortable. Will my arm ever be able to become straight like before? I am 29 years old now.
Male | 29
The crooked healing of a bone can create a situation when the arm looks and feels wrong. At your age, the arm may not be able to go back to its original shape and become perfectly straight. Some treatments can help, including physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery. Of course, you should first talk with an orthopedist who can recommend the best way to make your life more bearable.

Your left hand feels weak. This might be because the nerves in your hand aren’t working properly. One possible cause could be a pinched nerve in your neck or shoulder. It’s a good idea to see an orthopedist to find the exact cause and get the right treatment. Exercise with a physiotherapist or medication may help improve the strength and mobility of your hand.

Sir meri Back bone k nechay k hisay mein hole hai jis sey blood aur pus ata hai mein kia kro
Male | 27
You may have an abscess in the sacral region. It could lead to the formation of a sinus that discharges blood or pus. You may experience tenderness, local heat, or swelling around this place. Abscesses occur as a result of infections most of the time. It is important to visit an orthopedist immediately to incise and drain it then give antibiotics for treatment.

Hello I’m male 40 aged Fall down from scooter extact 2 weeks. This is my chest CT scan. I have no issue in breathing. Having little pain back side while walking. I have left collor bone have air crack. Now I am in complete rest. Chest CT scan Impression: Calcified parenchymal nodules measuring 13-12mm in the left lingural. 4th rib fracture and 6th rib fracture lateral aspect with adjustent hemothorax 3rd rib fracture- posterior aspect
Male | 40
Based on your CT scan, it looks like you have some fractures in your ribs, which could be causing the pain in your back when walking. The hemothorax next to your rib fractures is a collection of blood outside your lungs. This might be making it a bit tough for you to move around comfortably. It's great that you are resting, which is really important for healing those fractures. Make sure to keep monitoring your pain levels and follow up with your doctor for any further guidance.

Back burning and chubhan
Male | 25
This might be a result of many things like straining your muscles, sleeping in a bad position, or even having problems with the nerves. You may also experience it if you have been sitting or standing for long periods or lifting heavy objects. To relieve this, you can do some gentle stretching exercises, correct your posture, and use warm pads. In case this feeling continues, visit an orthopedist.

Female | 17
You have this heaviness in the area of your left collarbone muscles with little dizziness and numbness in your hands. These symptoms may be a pinched nerve, muscle strain, or even problems with your heart. It's important to rest, prohibit yourself from heavy lifting, and consult an orthopedist for a proper evaluation. Remember that your health is your wealth.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/
Female | 21
You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

Hello, I am Leah i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having back problems since last october. it’s been affecting my whole life and i have no clue what i should do.
Female | 15
One big reason for this is bad posture. It’s also possible if you were carrying around something heavy like school books in a backpack or if pulled a muscle. Here are some tips that might help: try to sit up straight when you’re sitting down, don’t pick up anything too heavy, and make sure your desk is set up correctly for you. You could also try doing some easy exercises or gentle stretches – they sometimes provide relief from these sorts of aches and pains. But if nothing changes and the ache won’t go away, you must talk to an adult about seeing an orthopedist who knows more about health.

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’m 22 years and I’m having thigh ache and I used pain relief last month and it stopped but now it’s aching me again
Female | 22
Thigh pain can be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, overuse, or even bad posture. Sometimes, you're sitting for too long, and you'll feel your thighs are hurting. Alongside this issue is that you are sitting for a long time and your thighs hurt. Do some light stretching, and apply heat to the affected area. Be active and avoid long periods of sitting down to allow them to feel well.

Pain left thigh since Oct 2022. I fell down from an e-rickshaw while boarding on it. One leg on the rickshaw and another on the ground and I was dragged for about two meters until I fell on the ground. Since then got this pain.
Female | 55
Your left thigh pain since last October might be from that fall. Typical signs are aches, swelling, and leg troubles. You likely strained or bruised thigh muscles during impact. Try resting, icing the spot, and gentle stretches. But if there is no improvement or worse pain, it's wise to visit an orthopedist. They'll check and properly treat the injury.

Hi I’m nafisa 24 yrs old I have back pain at right side through the chest it’s light muscle stain when I try to move I’m feeling it I have last 4 days
Female | 24
You likely have a muscle strain on your back's right side. It's causing chest pain. Muscle strains happen when you move stressfully. You'll feel pain while moving. Rest up. Ice the area. Take over-the-counter pain meds if needed. Try gentle stretches. Avoid activities worsening the pain. If it doesn't improve or worsens, see an orthopedist

I have pain in the middle of my chest and upper back in between my shoulder blades. What could this be from? I’ve had a bad cough over the last few days so I was told possibly a pulled muscle?
Male | 27
Sometimes, coughing causes muscle strain. A lot of coughing makes chest and back muscles work hard. This can hurt those areas. To help with the pain, try using heat and taking medicine. Rest and avoid things making the pain worse. However, if the pain continues or gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

Spine and leg pain problem
Male | 21
There are several possible reasons why this is happening. Sometimes it happens because of nerve problems in the spine; sometimes it occurs due to muscle strain or injury. To alleviate these discomforts, perform light stretching exercises, apply ice packs or heat pads on the affected area, or take non-prescription painkillers. If these measures fail to provide relief, visit an orthopedist.
