The spine surgery (L3, L4 fusion) and fracture­d tailbone might be causing your persiste­nt discomfort. Let's look closely at your MRI scans to figure out what's going on. I sugge­st consulting an expert spine doctor for a thorough che­ck-up and tailored treatment plan.

Wearing diapers at night can cause you knee pain, so it's better to avoid it. When you are experiencing knee pain, your mobility is restricted which makes it hard for you to sleep. However, wearing diapers will not help. Knee issues arise either because of injury, arthritis, or muscle strain. To help, use pillows to support your knees while sleeping and also do gentle doctor-recommended exercises to strengthen your knee. Instead of only treating the pain, you should focus on the cause of the knee problem.

Considering your symptoms, you may have a wrist sprain or ligament injury. It is recommended to see an Orthopedic doctor in order to get a correct diagnosis and treatment. The specialist will conduct a physical examination and may suggest imaging tests to establish the severity of injury. Procrastination in treatment can cause chronic problems.

Perhaps your backache is associated with nerve injury. I recommend that you see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. They will perform further tests and establish what is causing your pain.

You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.

There can be several causes of knee cartilage pain and knee joint swelling, such as injury, overuse, or conditions like arthritis. It might also make you feel some stiffness, redness, or warmth in the joint. It is of paramount importance to the rest of the injured joint, ice apply, raise it, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. In seeking medical help if the pain continues or gets worse, you can get the necessary tests and treatments.
