You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.

I am 19 years old , female . I have TMJ problem... I don't have pain till now .. but I just have a clicking sound when I try to open my mouth widely . Will this be curable without surgery?
Female | 19
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, can produce clicking sounds when you open your mouth. Nervous habits such as teeth grinding, stress or jaw misalignment may contribute to this. Many cases can be treated without surgery. Simple exercises for the jaw, hot/cold packs, and elderly eating are some of the treatments that might result in improvement. If your symptoms continue to worsen, you should get in contact with an orthopedist.

Sir Shoulder pain carry to Arm 8 month ago to yet
Male | 38
Your shoulder and arm pain lasting 8 months sounds difficult. This prolonged discomfort could stem from muscle or joint issues, like inflammation or injury. It's crucial to give your arm and shoulder proper rest. Ice packs can help reduce swelling. Gentle stretching exercises, as guided by a physical therapist, may provide relief too.

I am having back, hips and leg pain, unable to walk since 1 week.
Female | 36
These symptoms may be due to a few possibilities such as muscle strain, nerve problems, or even some issue with your spine. The following are first things that you must do: Rest, ice packs, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. Gentle stretches and take over-the-counter pain relievers if needed. However, if the pain does not stop or gets worse, it is best to see an orthopedist for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hi, I fell on my elbow, had an inflamed tendon preventing me from extending my arm fully for a couple of weeks and an infection, the wound took 2 months to heal as it got infected but did heal up fine, it was xrayed and all seemed fine. It's now been 8 months, the point of my elbow doesn't feel as smooth as the other one now, it hurts more when I bang that elbow, it hurts when I do specific exercises like press ups or bicep curls and tricep overhead extensions (those hurt the most), the pain is like a strong stinging pain. I wanted to ask if this sounds like any specific injury or condition?
Male | 28
You could have developed bursitis, an inflamed condition of the sacs cushioning your joints. When these sacs become irritated, movements might cause pain. Ice packs may help, as can avoiding aggravating activities and gentle stretches. However, if pain persists, consult an orthopedist. They'll properly assess and recommend next steps for managing this elbow issue.

I have suddenly randomly gotten lower back pain right above my tail bone out of the blue. No prior injuries or accidents. It does not spread but is a 24 7 constant pain and a little warm. My mid spine was also sore for about 2 days but has gone now and hasn't come back but the back pain is still there. It has been like this for almost 3 months. Excerises helps for atleast 20min and then the pain comes back again. Sitting and lying down is the worst. I can't sit for more than 10min.

I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist I'm suppose to have surgery on in the morning, the cyst disappeared 3 days ago. Should I still have the surgery or will they do the surgery still
Male | 37
Your ganglion cysts aren't often painful, though sometimes annoying or movement-limiting. Since yours vanished naturally, surgery might not be required anymore. However, inform your doctor about this development so they can reassess if the operation is still necessary or not.

When I was 10 years old, my wrist was broken and now i am 18 years old and i have facing elbow deformity problem . please tell me now what can i do
Male | 18
Your elbow could be bent because the bone broke and healed that way, blocking it from moving correctly. When you were 10, you injured your wrist and now at the age of 18, this could be the cause of the elbow deformity. An orthopedist should be able to examine everything and then tell you what to do about it which may involve physical therapy or even an operation to fix the problem.

I am 22 female I have a bump on my foot that is getting bruised and bigger
Female | 22
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.

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.

Female | 48
You may have a problem with your cervical vertebrae, leading to a sore and stiff neck. This could be due to sitting in the wrong position for long hours, muscle strain, or stress. You might feel stiffness, and discomfort, or have trouble moving your neck. Try doing some gentle neck exercises, applying heat or cold, and maintaining good posture. If the discomfort continues, visit an orthopedist for further advice.

You may have plantar fasciitis. It occurs when foot bottom tissue gets strained, and inflamed. Comfy shoes help. Do stretches. Apply ice. See a physical orthopedic specialist if the pain won't go away. They'll make a treatment plan for you. Keep caring for yourself.
