To stretch and strengthen your Achilles tendon, follow these steps:
Hold on to staircase railings
Stand at the edge of the bottom step
Adjust feet position so half of each foot is on the step. Stand in a way so you can move your heels up and down without hitting the floor.
Slowly rise on your tiptoes and then lower your heels as far as possible.

You seem to have a Frozen Shoulder, a condition when the shoulder joint tissue becomes tight, causing pain. Stem cell treatment research is ongoing, making it an uncommon solution currently.

Why do I have such bad knee pain? Everytime I hit my knee or even just rest something on my knee I get a shoot of pain in my knee that won't go away for at least a minute

Female | 20

The condition you describe might be patellar tendinitis. It happens when the tendon connecting your kneecap and shinbone gets inflamed. Overuse like repeatedly hitting your knee can cause this. Resting your knee, icing it, and doing gentle knee-strengthening exercises can help. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist for evaluation.

I m 32 years age female last two having pain heels of legs x-ray n medicine done no effect x-ray shows enlargement of heel bones.

Female | 32

Acupuncture offers relief from chronic heel spurs and has proven record in treating calcaneal spur.
Extra bone tissue known as heel spurs which develop due to over stress of the foot can cause pain in back of heel. Electro Acupuncture points, Moxibustion, Acupressure and seed therapy have shown great relief in heel pain and inflammation. Also correction in the enlargement of heel bone is observed as the acupuncture treatment is taken on regular basis. I.e. 2-3 sessions weekly continued for a period of 1-2 months.

I am a 27 years female and recently I fell down and my wrist got swollen and I have done an x-ray but couldn't understand the report

Female | 27

You’ve probably got a wrist fracture, which is a minor crack in the bone. It is swelling because the body is working on repairing it. To help, you might need a cast or splint to immobilize your wrist so that it can heal. Rest, ice, elevate the arm, and take painkillers as directed. Ensure you visit an orthopedist for proper treatment.

I am 53 yrs old recently I had surgery from fortis hospital Post operative appearance with orthopedic device, plates and screws seen in situ. There is evidence of a persistent fracture line in the distal femoral condyle with extensions involving patellofemoral articular surface, intercondylar notch, medial and lateral condyle reaching tibiofemoral articular surface. Proximal visualized shaft of left femur shows diffuse cortical thickening, coarse trabeculation and patchy intramedullary sclerosis. Proximal end of fracture does not show any clearly demonstrable callus formation or periosteal reaction suggesting hypo/oligotrophic fracture healing. Multiple well defined small bony hyperdensities are seen within the fracture line. Extensive surrounding soft tissue stranding and fluid density seen within the intercondylar notch area. Osteoarthritic changes seen involving the knee joint with tibial spiking, marginal osteophytes, significantly reduced medial tibiofemoral joint space.

I am suffering in lower back pain and I have disc bulge in my lower back

Male | 22

One of the discs in your back moves out of place and presses nearby nerves. Pain can feel sharp or dull - even traveling down your leg. For relief, rest, use heat or ice, try gentle exercises. But most importantly, talk with an orthopedist for professional advice.

Yesterday I was playing football ⚽️ and while playing football on ground with my friends I fall while changing direction my ankle was not rolled but still it started paining and while playing I can't feel the pain more and played for some time but after coming the pain increases I saw that my ankle was swollen and it was paining just above the bone not directly on the bone but just above it I want to clarify that it is just a sprain or fracture one more thing the pain is just above the ankle (feel most of the pain only on that area but the whole arear is equally swollen) and not spreading to whole ankle or leg

Male | 15

There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle. The pain location suggests a sprain over fracture. Avoid excess weight on it. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

Hi Ma'am, I am Deepanshu Chaudhary (Age 24 years). I have had pain in my hip since the past 2-3 months. It became minimum when I did physiotherapy sessions but it came back again. I consulted an orthopedic surgeon with an Xray and he suggested me to do an HLA B27 test which came out to be borderline positive. I am confused and worried about this test result. Also my next consultation with him is tomorrow which is why I am getting a bit anxious about my condition and the result. I wanted to know whether this a serious problem or not

Male | 24 years

I know you are worried about the HLA B27 test result which showed a borderline positive. This test is associated with diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis which can lead to hip pain. Some of the symptoms are painful and stiff hip areas. The remedy is a further check-up by an orthopedist to choose the best way.

The toe might be painful, swollen, bruised, or hard to move, which are all the symptoms of a toe injury. To accelerate the recovery process, you may rest, put ice to the swollen area, lift your foot, and use analgesics by mouth if necessary. If pain persists do consult an orthopedist.

Male | 22

For your knee injury and MRI results, I suggest you see an orthopedic surgeon. Only a professional can exactly evaluate the degree of your injury and know if a surgical measure will do or not. You should go to a local orthopaedist to determine the nature and to provide the best possible treatment for it.
