Prevention of worsening of degenerative disc disease is by decreasing the stress on the degenerated discs. Weight loss and avoidance of weight lifting and high impact activities decrease the stress and pain.

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.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Male | 23
Your median nerve is a principal nerve in your hand. When squeezed, it brings on carpal tunnel syndrome. That's a condition mostly occurring around the wrist area. Pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand and fingers are symptoms. Exercises and wrist splints can help ease it.

Laminectomy and Discordectomy + l4-5 fixation with decompression of cord. Pre op my problem was being unable to stand and drive for more than 15 mins after that, I feel burning sensation in my left leg. Post op after 2 months, the situation is worse. Now I cannot even site for 10-15 mins without the same happening. The doctor said it is due to lack of protein and to eat more non veg but I have been eating Non-veg every other day. Is the doctor here have performed a failed op or it wasn't even the right operation needed to undergo
Male | 54
It sounds like you're having a tough time after your surgery. The burning sensation in your leg might be caused by nerve issues, or perhaps the surgery didn't go as expected. While a lack of protein could be a factor, it's not the only possibility. It would be best to consult with an orthopedist again to get a clearer understanding of the issue.

Your ankle discomfort is unfortunate. Sprains, strains, or arthritis might cause ankle pain. Here's R.I.C.E to ease it: rest, apply ice, compress with a bandage, and elevate your leg. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. If the pain persists, don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist.

Female | 17
This type of pain is usually due to things like over-use injury or even arthritis. The wrist is a complicated joint, so the discomfort can be caused by many reasons. To help, you can try resting your wrist, using ice packs, and doing gentle stretches. If the pain persists, it's wiser to consult an orthopedist.

Female | 55
Bicolumnar plating with 1 Herbert screw and 1 interfragmentary is a definitive management for distal humerus fracture. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the stability of the plate may depend on factors like patient’s age and activity level along with bone quality. Consulting an orthopedic specialist for a follow-up evaluation and postoperative treatment is advised.

I have a cousin. He has a condition that no doctor has been able to detect, all the tests he has done so far says he's completely fine, but he doesn't look that way since he has an abnormally big arm. The arm has an irregular shape. It's like clump of fats starting from his shoulder (which is also abnormally big) to his elbow. It stops there. I did hear that at one time it reduced, but now it's growing bigger. It's not that the arm is just big, it is abnormal and won't stop growing.
Male | 16
Your cousin has developed lipoma, which is a harmless tumor made of fat cells. This may lead to the development of a bulging out of some parts of the body, for example, the arm. Generally, lipomas do not bring any complications but may sometimes increase in size with time. If the lipoma is bothering you or affecting your movement, surgery may be a way to get rid of it. It is ideal to seek the advice of an orthopedist for exact diagnosis and treatment.

My father is diabetic and takes insulin every day. For the past few months, he has been unable to walk for more than a few minutes. He has no problem standing for long while traveling in buses or walking up and down stairs. He has no knee pain but feels cramps in his calf muscles whenever he starts walking for more than 2 minutes. Around 3 years ago, he also lost a lot of weight and has never gained it back. He is 5.7ft and weighs less than 50 kgs. Is an orthopedic the right specialist to visit for treatment? What could be the causes behind his symptoms and how can they be treated? Does he need physiotherapy?
Male | 57
Your dad's walking problems and leg pains could signal restricted blood flow. This condition, peripheral artery disease, makes walking hard. Your dad losing weight and unable to walk well is worrying. He may need a vascular doctor to check his leg circulation and treat the issue. Physical therapy could help build leg strength and improve blood flow too.

I do roofing for work. Handle nail guns with nails held together by little brass wire. When you shoot a nail with our nailguns...some brass is always still attached to the nail (about 3 mm) and today I accidentally shot myself on top of my thigh and when I pulled the nail out, no wire came with it. The wound is now healed over (it's been about 10 hours since sending this inquiry) So how dire is it for me to get it professionally removed? Can I just deal with it in there forever? (Pain is 0) Will it poison me over time like lead?
Male | 22
The small piece of brass left in your thigh probably won’t cause any issues. Since the wound is stable and you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave it as it is. Brass is not as toxic as lead, so there's no need to worry about poisoning. Just watch for any redness, swelling, or pain around the area. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

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.

Hi I am 33 years old weighing 75 kgs approx.I have 3 kids with natural delivery.Since 10 days I am having pain in my left knee which occurs only while bending or climbing up the stairs.I have no problem while standing or doing any heavy related work.Its only at bending time that the pain kicks in. I am healthy with no allergies,infections or any other ailment. I haven't been injured in my legs.I feel it's happening due to increase in my uric acid. Kindly advise on my course of action to alleviate the pain.
Female | 33
Your left knee hurts when you're bending over or climbing stairs. This kind of pain, which occurs only on bending, might be due to a condition called patellofemoral pain syndrome. It is likely to be triggered by activities such as climbing stairs. Increasing uric acid levels are not generally associated with knee pain. To help ease the pain, you can begin by taking it easy on your knee, applying ice packs, gently stretching, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If the pain persists, it's best to seek advice from an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment options.

Male | 22
Consult an orthopedist soon if you're experiencing reduced function in your fingers after a wrist injury and stitches. The cause of your symptoms may be nerve damage or reduced blood flow to the affected area, which results from certain types of injuries or surgical procedures.

Why my hip/acetabulum hurts?
Hip pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include trauma, lying on a side for a prolonged period, overuse, muscle stiffness, sitting in an awkward position, sprains or strains. For treatment you need to visit orthopedist who will analyze the problem and prescribe the medicine for relief.

High gread partial tare acl towards femur
Male | 24
You have a partial tear of the ACL, where it remains attached but has been significantly torn near the thigh bone. This can happen due to a knee ligament sprain or strain. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the knee. Immediate causes are sudden bending or excessive knee movement. Treatment options may involve resting the joint, doing physical therapy, or undergoing surgery to repair the tear. It's crucial to follow an orthopedist's advice for proper recovery.

Iam 24 year old female. I had a neckpain 2months ago and doctor gave me anti inflammatory and pain killers for a week. After completing it came worse again. Next doctor gave me moxikind cv 625 and it got cooled. Along with headache i gave eye vision problem
Female | 24
Some of these signs can sometimes be connected. Neck pain may lead to tension headaches which in turn might affect one’s vision. Maintaining a good posture, taking regular screen breaks, and performing exercises that strengthen the muscles of the neck and back can be beneficial. However, it is important to speak to an orthopedist should these symptoms persist.
