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 extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement
Male | 78
YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..

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
Female | 44
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.

my toe nail got ripped off im using bandage on it should i avoid bandage to leave it open ?
Male | 20
A toenail injury sounds unpleasant. Ripping off a nail may lead to pain and bleeding. Bandaging helps keep the area clean, or leaving it uncovered if bleeding is minimal. Cleanliness prevents infection. However, if severe pain, redness, or swelling occurs, seeking medical attention is wise.

i am a 30 year old female, every morning for the last 5 days i have been waking up and not been able to move my fingers there is no swelling but i is very painful and tight
Female | 30
You seem to have symptoms of trigger finger. In this case, the finger gets into a bent position and it becomes impossible to straighten out. I suggest you see an orthopedist who is expert in hand and wrist injuries. They will identify the problem and a corresponding treatment method.

Try gentle stretches. Improve posture. Use heat or ice packs. If pain persists, speak with an orthopedist. Further evaluation and treatment are important.

Hi doctor, i am 29 years old 55 kg . I met a accident 5 months ago and i fractured my l2- l4 transverse process. And comminuted fracture of l5 . And my arm bone fracture. I lose my head orientation for 2 months because of head injury and i stay on bedrest at that time. Then i feel no pain when my brain was oriented for 3 months. Then i had my arm x-ray and it was bone non union. Doctor advised me for bone graft surgery that i adapted. Just after surgery i feel lumbar pain and i am feeling this pain come and go from 3 weeks after my surgery. I want to know about this pain and how to get rid of this?
Male | 29
Lumbar pain after a bone graft surgery is a normal occurrence. This discomfort can be attributed to the fact that the tissues of the wounded area and before surgery the bone protrudes below the spine instead of being healed. It is important to sustain the gentle movement of the vertebrae to prevent being immobile as compared to before these strenuous activities. You can also use warm compresses and simple stretching to help reduce pain. You should see an orthopedist to diagnose the problem and give appropriate medication.

I am 23 year old female having quadricep tendinitis from 3 months in both legs now my pain is moving knee to thighs and having extreme pain
Female | 23
You might be having a rough time with your quadricep tendinitis. The symptoms you're going through, like pain moving from your knees to your thighs, can be a challenge. This kind of injury can be caused by overusing your legs or not warming up properly before exercise. To help with this, try doing some gentle stretches and avoiding activities that worsen the pain. As well, applying ice packs and elevating your legs can provide some relief.

I am a 25 year old male who's had back surgery. I have numbness and burning pain in my legs and I'm not getting any relief.
Male | 25
It is not good to feel numbness and burning pain in the legs after back surgery. These feelings happen because the nerves get irritated. This could happen because of swelling or pressure on the nerves. It is important to tell your surgeon about these feelings. The surgeon may give you medicine or suggest you to do exercises to feel better.

I rolled my ankle really bad 4 weeks ago almost 5. I still have inflamation and soreness, and pain. my briuises are gone but still hurts. and i have not been to a doctor.
Female | 14
You’ve sprained your ankle, and it may still be causing inflammation, soreness, and pain weeks after the injury. A sprain happens when the ligaments are stretched or torn, leading to pain and swelling. Rest your ankle, ice it, elevate it, and consider using a compression bandage. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see an orthopedist for advice.

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.

Public ramus bone fracture healing after 50 days attached bone again broke
Male | 25
No. The public ceil bone in your body is not healing as it should be. It was the second damage to the bone that occurred on the 50th day, and it may be because not healing was given a chance or overloading has been the case. You could experience pain, swelling, or difficulty in moving. Besides, it's necessary to visit an orthopedic surgeon since they will also propose other treatment options, such as a brace or possibly surgery to help the bone heal correctly.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis
Female | 49
Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

I have a ingrowing nail. Just an hour ago i feel my feet like weird and my leg feels lime a tendon has been pulled
Female | 44
It looks like you may have an ingrown toenail. When a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it, it can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Sometimes, it can make your whole foot feel funny or like a tendon is pulled. To help with this, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently raise the nail. If it’s really sore, see a podiatrist for help.
