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.

Hi sir my kid is 18 months old his right leg is in curve shape while walking the foot is inside
Male | 18 months
Your child may have a condition called intoeing, where the foot turns inward while walking. This is quite common in young children and usually corrects itself as they grow. However, to ensure proper development, consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They can assess the condition and suggest any necessary treatment or exercises.

I have small lamp in my shoulder for 5 years and now i experience some pain when im carrying something
Female | 26
Discomfort when lifting could point to the tension or inflammation of the muscles and tissues surrounding them. The most frequent reasons are abuse injuries or sudden alterations in the activity levels. Your body's expression is important; if the pain doesn't go away, you should consider avoiding heavy loads during the workouts and going in favor of light stretching or strengthening exercises only. Ice application could also be used to manage discomfort. Yet for a full examination, you should consult an orthopedist.

After jaw surgery when can i chew?
Female | 46
After jaw surgery, it’s recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before resuming chewing solid foods. This allows your jaw to heal properly and minimizes the risk of complications. However, recovery times can vary based on individual factors, so it's crucial to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions. For personalized advice, consult your dentist.

Hi, Im a 40 year old female. i have alot of pain in my heels, which is almost unbearable now and im seeking help in regards to that. i dont know if this is related to the pain , but i have Psoriasis and got treated for it around 5 years ago, and get checkups once in a year. i think the pain might be somewhat related to Psoriasis as it is right over my heels. hope someone understands the root cause of this and helps me.
Female | 40
Your heel discomfort troubles me. Heel agony may stem from Psoriatic Arthritis, a Psoriasis-linked disorder. This condition inflames joints, causing aches and swells. Neglecting it risks permanent harm. Thus, consulting a Rheumatologist is crucial for proper assessment and therapy. They'll prescribe medicines and suggest exercises to alleviate your suffering.

A couple of days ago I was getting up off the floor after some push ups and lost my balance a bit and felt several cracks/pops from my left knee. I was crouching on the balls of my feet falling backwards and to try to regain balance I was leaning my knees forward in full flexion, with my thighs pressing onto my calves. I kind of collapsed one the spot, more due to surprise than in pain but it was sore after that. Now it's not really hindering me while I'm on my feet at all aside from a sense of fragility if that makes sense, though that could be more mental to be honest. However I do start to feel a tiny bit of pain and a combination of discomfort and weakness when I flex my knee approaching a 90 degrees with my thigh, both behind my knee around the end of my thigh and on top of my knee towards the outside and a bit below the kneecap.
Male | 25
Flexing your knee at around 90 degrees causes pain behind and on top of the knee. It's essential to seek medical advice to diagnose and treat the issue properly. Avoid putting stress on the knee and consider resting and elevating it until you see an orthopedist.

Why is my kneck so sore and tight?
Male | 26
Neck pain can have a variety of causes, including poor posture, stress and injury. It is important to see a doctor, an orthopedist in particular, to understand the issue and have it treated properly. Distributing the sitting time and practicing neck exercises can be another means of relieving symptoms as well.

Female | 24
Many factors can trigger hip soreness - arthritis or injuries, for instance. If her hip aches, she must take rest, apply ice packs to lessen the swelling, and consume over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the discomfort persists, consulting an orthopedist for examination and treatment might be necessary.

Hi there, Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to ask about medial tibial stress syndrome/tibial stress fractures. I’ve been training for my 2nd marathon for the past few months and have experienced some shin pain along the inside of my left leg (dominate leg). It’s a low pain level that never exceeds 1-3 out of 10 on a pain level scale. My main issue is that it’s challenging to self diagnose this. Part of me sees a couple fracture symptoms - the pain is localized (not big like a typical shin splint), there is slight pain when I run up or down stairs, some discomfort when I jump multiple times on the one leg, and the pain fluctuates from day to day. And although the pain point is localized, it’s not quite as tender or painful as some examples I’ve read online (so maybe not a fracture?). My reasons why I think this could just be a shin splint are because the pain has not gotten worse over the past 3 weeks (while running), and the pain fades away most of the time when I’m running (sometimes I feel discomfort during the first mile or 2 but then it’s gone). I even ran a half marathon race with a personal best time just 5 days ago, and was not bothered by it during or after the race. I started noticing this issue about 3 weeks ago. I took a couple days off from running 2.5 weeks ago to address it. I didn’t think it was anything alarming, so I continued my training for 2 weeks - I run about 50 to 60 miles a week. I haven’t ran for 5 days this week because I began to get paranoid about this injury still lingering (last thing I want is to turn a shin splint into a fracture). It’s strange the injury hasn’t gotten worse, and like I said, the pain fluctuates from day to day, but never exceeds a 3 out of 10 on the pain level scale. I’m wondering if you have any recommendations and if it’s worth visiting a doctor in person soon. My ultimate goal is to still run my marathon the final weekend of April, but I’ll need at least 5 to 6 more weeks of training - therefore if my rest time exceeds 3 weeks, I probably can’t do the race. Obviously it’s not the end of the world if I have to sit out. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon! Take care, Dominic

You might have medial tibial stress syndrome or tibial stress fractures, which occur when your shin bones experience repeated stress from activities like running. You may feel localized pain, discomfort when jumping, and varying levels of pain. Rest, apply ice to the area, and consider seeing an orthopedist for evaluation and advice.

Im a 17 yo im male my hand hurts so much when i touch a precised place in it i can actually see the bone our comparing to the other hand. Thanks
Male | 17
It looks like you may have broken your hand. A specific point may be very tender and the area can appear different from the other side. It is crucial to have an orthopedist look at this. They will confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment which may involve putting on a cast or splint so that the bone can heal properly. Make sure that it is checked as soon as possible so you can begin the recovery process.

Left thumb facture due to accident
Male | 30
Your left thumb is hurt. You feel pain, and swelling, it's bruised, and you can't move it well. A fall or hit caused your thumb to break. Don't use your thumb. Put ice on it to reduce the swelling. See an orthopedist for an X-ray. They'll check how bad the fracture is. The doctor may put a splint or cast on your thumb to help it heal correctly.

I am 22 years old my leg was hit by a wood and it is swollen..I only take Panadol and use ice can u tell me if its fracture or not because when I walk it's hurting me....
Female | 22
If you were hit by wood and now your leg is swollen, hurts and you can’t walk properly, wood has fractured your bone. A fracture occurs when a bone breaks. Make sure to see an orthopedist who can do an X-ray to confirm if there is a fracture or not and before then, keep on taking Panadol for pain and apply ice to reduce swelling. Rest the leg as much as possible.

Hello. I recently discovered that when I pour warm water on my thumb it starts to hurt and the pain goes thru the whole arm. It only happens when water is poured on it but when I am not showering or washing my hands my arm feels fine.
Male | 16
Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We're here to help you with your health concerns.
Your pain when warm water touches your thumb, radiating through your arm, might be related to nerve sensitivity or an underlying condition like neuropathy. The warmth could be triggering nerve endings, causing the pain to spread. It’s also possible that a minor injury or inflammation is reacting to the temperature change.
Next Steps to Follow
-Avoid Warm Water: Temporarily avoid exposing your thumb to warm water to prevent discomfort.
-Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on additional symptoms such as swelling, numbness, or changes in skin color.
-Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a doctor, preferably a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist, for a thorough evaluation. Diagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies or imaging might be needed.
-Detailed Examination: The doctor will perform a physical examination and take a medical history to diagnose the issue accurately. They might suggest treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or further tests based on their findings.
Health Tip
Consider gentle health exercises to maintain flexibility and reduce nerve sensitivity. Ensuring good hand ergonomics and avoiding repetitive strain can also help prevent discomfort.

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?
Female | 19
It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

Mild pain in left testis and left leg
Male | 23
The pain might come from a varicocele, like a varicose vein in your testicle. It slows blood flow and causes aching. To help, wear supportive underwear and avoid standing too long. But if pain worsens or you notice swelling or changes in your testis, see a doctor. This rules out serious problems.

I am having pain in my right bum bone area and its affecting me when i walk. The pain is sharp and throbbing and sometime its making my leg and knees weak. but i have also missed my period but having cramps could this be related. I have drank celecoxib and cocodamol tablets but no relief. What could be wrong with me. I am 26 years old and and 5'9 in height
Female | 26
The pain, leg, and knee weakness, missed period, and cramping might be linked to sciatica, a condition where a nerve in your lower back is pressed, causing pain to radiate down your leg and potentially affecting your menstrual cycle. While celecoxib and co-codamol can help with pain, it's important to consult an orthopedist for a thorough check-up and accurate diagnosis.
