The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

The symptoms you are experiencing in your right hand can be due to a number of conditions. One possibility is that you may be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome, this can cause symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and fingers. It could be due to other reasons as well, consult an experienced orthopedist to get proper diagnosis.

You're suffering from pain deep inside your hip, particularly in the wintertime. Conditions like arthritis or bursitis could cause this. To properly diagnose, you should consult an orthopedist. Soft exercises like stretching and strengthening are effective in relieving hip pain.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.
Male | 16
Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm 19 yrs old girl, I'm getting pain in my knee cap while going up the stairs,the pain gradually decreases when I stopped moving upstairs.I do feel the pain even more when I'm cycling on a steep or elevated.Normally I don't feel any pain while doing daily activities.I don't even know what causes me pain in my knees.I didn't fall down in the past,but I cycled too much during the covid time in between 2019-2021& may be that's when I started feeling pain for the 1st time. Can you tell me why this happens, can I know the name of this kind of pain so that I can take care of myself?
Female | 19
According to what you said, it seems like you might have patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is a condition where the kneecap does not move smoothly over the thigh bone thus resulting in pain. Doing cycling excessively can also trigger it. Rest the knee, perform some light stretches, and do some strengthening workouts. See an orthopedist if the pain persists.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be brought on by a pregnant woman's palms and fingers. The nerve in the wrist is squashed, which is how carpal tunnel syndrome occurs. The high volume of swelling is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnancy. To treat the problem, you can hold your hand above your head, do hand exercises, or even consider wearing the splint while walking at night. It gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

Before taking Tylenol 4, it is essential to consult an orthopedist so they may advise you if it is suitable for you and give directions on how often should one take them among other things.

Male | 33
The usual thing that you should do when you get a cut or hurt is cleanse the same with soap and water. To protect from infection, you should put some antiseptic on the wound. Employ a bandage as a cover to keep it safe from germs. If it is a larger wound or the bleeding will not stop, you will probably need to consult an orthopedic specialist. To facilitate the quick healing process, hygiene has to be the top priority of the affected area.

Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem
Female | 25
Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

What is the duration of pain inflicted after hip replacement surgery? Which medicines are prescribed to ease the pain?
Many patients have excellent pain control within 4 to 6 weeks following surgery. But the sensitivity of pain differs from patient to patient; hence the pain control duration may differ from patient to patient. There are many types of medication available to ease pain of a patient post surgery. But the selection of medication is a complex process, where many factors are considered before choosing a medication. Consult an orthopedic surgeon. Hope our answer helps you.

Male | 31
You are describing muscle pain caused by poor posture in the middle of your upper back. There are a lot of possible diseases, such as bad posture, muscle overuse, or muscle surgery. The next common reason may be correlated with acid reflux or heartburn. To relieve your symptoms, try to adjust your sitting position, do gentle stretching exercises, and not eat foods that bother you with acidity. If you are still experiencing pain, visit an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Got injured sacroillzc jojnt ligaments, suffering from dysfunctiong, rdgarding fusion of si joint
Female | 49
Although sacroiliac joint dysfunction is usually considered to be the source of lower back and/or leg pain, it can be difficult to diagnose. When the normal mobility of the sacroiliac joint, which joins the triangular bone at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum) to the pelvic, is interrupted, it can produce pain.
• More specifically, sacroiliac joint pain can be caused by either too much or too little movement. Because they can feel so similar, leg pain caused by sacroiliac joint dysfunction might be difficult to distinguish from radiating leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (sciatica). The most common causes of SI joint dysfunction are excessive or insufficient mobility.
• Excessive movement in the sacroiliac joint (hypermobility or instability) can make the pelvis feel unstable and result in pain.
• Excessive mobility generates pain in the lower back and/or hip that can spread into the groin, whereas lack of movement (hypomobility or fixation) causes muscle tension, discomfort, and a loss in mobility.
Consult an Orthopedist for further investigations and treatment.
