Why are my hands swelling and painful?
Hi There, I recently had a full blood count test and a kidney function test to check for any abnormalities, and the results were normal. However, lately, my hands have been feeling full and it’s difficult to open and close them, sometimes causing pain. They do swell slightly, particularly in the morning after I wake up. At night, I can feel blood flowing to my hands, and I experience the same sensation during the day at work.

This can happen if there is pressure on the nerves in your wrist. Repetitive hand movements or certain health conditions are the main culprits. You can do it by using a wrist splint, taking breaks, and doing hand exercises. Also, if the symptoms continue, you should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.

I had sprain 2 days ago and the swelling was around ankle and pain was there. But now the swelling is around the feet but the pain is not there. Ankle swelling has reduced. But the pain is still there
Female | 27
This change in symptoms could be due to inflammation, fluid movement, or the healing process. If the pain persists, it's advisable to consult a professional orthopedist for evaluation and guidance to ensure proper recovery and address any concerns.

I am 40 years old male and been complaining from back pain for about almost 20 years in the past years as I’m getting older. It’s been getting worse now I am kind of walking differently and my back is a little bent with a back hump, I did an MRI and I had C4 C5 C6 t1 t2 and L5 S1 mentioned some abnormality in their function. My question is will this be cured through surgery or even give me a better chance living a better life if I do the surgery because back surgery really does scare me a lot.
Male | 40
Your back pain could be due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. If it is, you might have trouble walking or your posture could change. Having surgery might help take the pressure off of the nerves and make the symptoms better. Surgery can often help improve your quality of life, but it's important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a spine specialist. They will guide you on the best treatment options and help address your concerns about surgery.

A glass bowl fell on my knee and broke. the glass didnt cut me but it hit the left side of my left knee and now theres a small bump on the right side of my left knee. i feel like i might have dislocated the knee cap but its only a small bump. its really uncomfterble when i move it and it feels hyper extended when i try to straighted my leg. Pressing lightly under the bump hurts when i have my knee relaxed. im able to straighted it with almost no pain but it feels off anytime i move my knee. its been around 2 days now and ive been putting ice on it and using crutches. when the bowl hit my knee i was sitting in a chair and two other bowls fell (a plastic bowl that didnt hit me and another glass bowl that hit my ankle, my ankle is fine) imeditly after the bowl hit my knee it hurt and when i got up i could feel the pain shooting up and down my leg.
Other | 16
Your knee might have gotten hurt when the bowl hit it. The bump and discomfort could mean your kneecap moved out of place. When that happens, it causes pain, swelling, and trouble moving. Good thing you iced it and used crutches. Don't put weight on your knee for now. Let it rest. But if the pain doesn't go away in a few days, see an orthopedist to make sure everything's alright.

What is excision soft tissue tumor
Male | 52
Soft tissue tumors are small growths that can form in muscles, tendons, or other tissues. You might feel a lump under your skin, but why they appear is often unknown. Fortunately, most of these tumors are not cancerous. If removal is needed, doctors typically perform excision surgery, where they cut out the tumor.

Hi, I have bursitis, but there is no pain, what to do to solve this problem?
Male | 40
Is bursitis without pain possible? Yes, it is but it can bother you a lot. Bursitis occurs due to the inflammation of bursae, a small, fluid-filled sac located at joints. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will feel pain. But if there is swelling or stiffness, you might feel like you have swollen a joint by doing a wrong workout. Swelling can be resolved by resting and applying ice packs. The best and most effective course is to avoid participating in things that enhance the swelled part. There is a possibility that it could not go away, and the advice of an orthopedist could be sought in this case!

A sprain occurs when the ligaments around your joints are stretched or damaged. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the injured affected part among others. To help with a sprain, it's important to rest, ice the injured area, compress it with a bandage, and elevate your foot.

I am 35 years old, was playing football and got injured in the knee and hand, some blood came out, I let it to dry 10 mins then went to wash with water and soap, unfortunately I didn't have plaster, I went home with the injury open to the air, I tried to minimize interactions with anything in the transportation and I am almost 100 sure, I didn't touch anything, once I went home I put beta din and sterilizer, my question shall I worry about anything in case I touched anything, what could i have done better, now I will always keep plaster and medical stuff with me
Male | 35
Keep the wound clean and monitor for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain. You did well by cleaning the wound and applying Betadine. It's good practice to carry a small first aid kit with plasters and antiseptics for such situations. If you notice any signs of infection or concerned, it's best to consult an orthopedic specialist to ensure proper healing and care.

Legs are not work accident cases
Male | 28
If your legs feel weak, painful, or swollen after a work accident, get help right away. Work injuries can affect your leg muscles, bones, or nerves. Don't wait – rest, apply ice, keep your legs elevated, and visit an orthopedist for the right diagnosis and treatment.

The patient's bone may have healed misalignment, which forced her immobilized hand. I would recommend that you take her to an orthopedist who would evaluate her case and accordingly, administer the necessary treatment.

Is a longer femur or longer tibia better for sprinting speed?
Male | 24
Having a longer femur is better for sprinting speed. The femur is your thigh bone. A longer femur helps power your sprints. However, a longer tibia below your knee strains leg muscles. A longer femur gives you an advantage for sprinting speed. Be sure to train safely and avoid overworking muscles though.

I am 21 years old and currently have been going through my leg foot and ankle pain i am diagnosed from typhoid almost every year in summers the typhoid has reduced but not the pain i usually have low blood pressure the pain stays for all they day and night if i change my position during night
Female | 21
It seems like you have felt a lot of pain in your leg, foot, and ankle. Your past typhoid sickness and low blood pressure could be why you still hurt. Sometimes, typhoid can make joints ache. It is very important to drink lots of water and rest. Using cold packs and keeping your leg up high can help the pain go away. If the pain does not stop, you should see an orthopedist to find out what is wrong.

Having a broken rib and the bruising around the area worsen or become massive, it might indicate an issue that needs medical attention. Severe bruising could be a sign of complications such as internal bleeding or other issues related to the broken rib. Please take an appointment with an orthopedic doctor for checkup.
