Sir I have muscle strain in my calf ,so doctor told me to do sonography, In sonography partial muscle tore have been found so what should I do
Male | 26
It sounds like you have a muscle tear in your calf muscle. This can happen if you overdo it on your muscles or damage them. You may experience symptoms like pain, swelling, and difficulty in leg movement. It is necessary to let your leg rest, apply ice and elevate it to speed up healing. Gentle stretching and physical therapy can also be effective healing methods. Stick to your doctor's recommendations and you are sure to make a complete recovery.

My left leg is paining a lot. Not even able to walk. Upper thighs, calf and ankle.
Male | 49
If the leg pain is so severe that affects walking then get it checked by an orthopedist as it could indicate a serious medical condition. Possible causes can be muscle strain, deep vein thrombosis, or nerve problems.

I am a 70 year old male and have been having pain in both my shoulders and knees for the last 6 months. I have used medicines and pain reliever ointment cream for few days but there is no relief. What should I do now?
Male | 70
Joint pain like this could be due to osteoarthritis, which is common in older people. As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, leading to discomfort. It's important to stay active to maintain flexibility and strength but avoid activities that make the pain worse. Gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help. Physical therapy can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joints and improve mobility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but it's essential to consult with an orthopedist before starting any new medication.

I am a 20 year old female. I had missed a step and fallen down on ground two days ago (I think I twisted my left ankle but I don't remember clearly). After that I have trouble putting weight on my left leg. It doesn't hurt when I am resting and even movement is possible. But whenever I walk, there is some sort of pull near the left ankle and it hurts whenever I try to put weight on it. I have done ice compresses and elevated it but still it pains whenever I walk. Is it a mild ankle sprain? what should i do next?

Consult a Physiotherapist if no relief then consult an Orthopedic.

Today, my father injured his leg with a rod from a moving bike. Thankfully, the injury is not severe, but his leg is swollen and painful. We are applying an ice pack and using Volini spray. There is no redness, numbness, wound, or cut. A few days ago, he also experienced muscle cramps in the same leg. I'm very worried. Could you please advise me on what to do next?
Male | 49
A muscle injury may have developed in your father due to the impact of a rod striking his leg. This type of injury often results in swelling and pain as well. The muscle cramps he had earlier may be linked to this incident. Continue applying the ice pack and using Volini spray for swelling and pain relief. Prevent him from exposing his leg to any extra tension and ensure he does not move his injured leg. If the pain remains or gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

Male | 40
The cause in the case of a sudden shooting leg pain to a pain-free leg previously could be due to number of reasons including injury, muscle strain, or underlying medical conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, deep vein thrombosis or nerve damage. Go see a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist.

Neck pain taken FNAC test...can you please look into the report
Male | 60
The report would say if there are any suspicious cells in the neck. Neck pain could arise such as poor posture, muscle strain, or an injury. The best way to get pain relief is to do some neck exercises gently, apply ice or heat, and use pain relievers. If the pain persists, you should refer an orthopedist for more advice.

I hurt my big toe at football practice, it hurts and is bent a bit inwards like a little tilt, please help me
Male | 18
A sprained big toe might cause it to bend a bit and make it painful. Swelling up, making walking difficult too. This often happens from twisting or hitting the toe hard. Ice, rest, elevation, and pain meds may help ease things. But if it doesn't get better, see an orthopedist.

am a mma fighter and 3 days ago had a kickboxing session, I was holding a kick shield for my dad who weighs 3x more than me. He kicked the kick shield hard but he accidentally missed the kick shield and instead kicked my shoulder, ever since then I have a lot of pain when moving my arms and and especially lifting it outwards I cannot lift it above my head without serious pain, I also feel weak in the same ark and have pain whenever I lift even a light object, I also feel pain in my bicep. Than you
Male | 18
You likely overused your shoulder muscles. Pain, weakness, and the fact your arm does not move well are the possible indications that your muscle has strained and/or torn. This can occur when the muscles are stretched too much. To start the healing process, keep the shoulder in a resting position, apply a cold pack to the affected area, and stay away from activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, go to an orthopedist.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

LEFT SIDE SHOULDER TO ELBOW PAIN
Male | 28
When your arm aches from the left shoulder down to the elbow, take notice of the signs. You may struggle moving it. Swelling and redness could appear. Certain movements worsen the pain. Muscle strain, rotator cuff injury, or arthritis can cause such discomfort. To ease the hurting, rest your arm. Apply ice packs. Do gentle stretches. Avoid heavy lifting too. Activities making pain worse are off-limits. Sometimes physical therapy helps. Medications can help. Consult an orthopedist about your symptoms for personalized guidance.

I have pain in both hands(3 inches above and below the elbows) and legs(5 inches above and below the knees). Not bone pain as I feel good if I try to restrict my blood flow. I always wear knee and elbow caps for pain relief. As far I remember I'm suffering from this pain for almost 13-14 years. Currently, I'm 20 years, I'm was being told it was due to the growing stage. Earlier I had vitamin D level 7 but now it is 30 but still, the pain is not gone. I have pain almost daily, I will feel lucky I don't have pain that particular day. If I walk for long or stand or play, or do something intense then the intensity of the pain will be unbearable sometimes due to pain I can't even sleep at night. In my test report, I have everything normal. Tests I have done so far are ASO TITRE, Anti-Nuclear, CPR, HLA B profile, Anti-CCP, Phosphorus, CPK, URIC ACID, CALCIUM, GLUCOSE, VITAMIN D AND B-12, THS, CBC, Alkaline Phosphate, Potassium, LDH, Magnesium.

Hello , please , I would like to get an opinion on a surgical procedure for repairing ligaments and a tendon transfer, and the price
Male | 26
When ligaments of your body are injured, it may be experienced as pain, inflammation, and weakness of the limb. One way is to perform surgery where the doctors tie the ligaments and transfer the tendon. This method facilitates your movement capabilities and minimizes your hurting. You may also consult an orthopedist.

there is a lump on my calves i’d like to know what is that
Female | 16
This might be caused by a muscle knot or cyst developing whenever a muscle tightens or a sac fills with fluid. When you touch it, you may feel pain, tenderness, or no symptoms at all. It is important to use warm compresses, massage gently, and perform stretch exercises. If the situation doesn’t improve, seek medical advice for further assessment from an orthopedist

Male | Sajad Ahmad
When your muscles are hurting, it may be due to exertion, including from sexual intercourse. This can affect your legs and lower back if you've overused these muscles. It's important to stop and rest. Applying mild warmth and doing gentle stretches can help relieve the pain. Keeping your body hydrated and relaxed will also aid in muscle recovery. If the pain persists or you develop new symptoms, it's important to consult an orthopedist for advice.
