It seems you may have the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, making your hand swell and become numb. Washing up may be aggravating it. When you feel like this, you should try to take regular breaks while doing tasks. You could also use a wrist splint to help keep your hand in a better position. If these steps don’t relieve the problem, then it would be a good idea to talk to a orthopedist for more advice.

Diagnosis - Compound grade 3A(L) distalend radius fracture with ulnar shaft fracture with ulnar steyloid fracture After getting wrist surgery left median and left ulnar nurves CMAPs low amplitude response. & Continuous sensenation found between thumb & finger . Thumb movement is not properly. F waves absent
Male | 26
The fact that you cannot move your thumb properly and feel like your thumb and other fingers are being brought together all the time may imply that either the nerves were injured when the accident first occurred or when it was being operated upon. These findings need to be shared with the orthopedist or a neurologist.

I’m 61 knee pain foot pain being of 42 osteoarthritis and need to loose weight quickly finding mobility getting worse
Female | 61
Given your age and history of osteoarthritis, it is most likely caused by the wear and tear on your joints. Losing some weight gradually with a healthy diet could relieve the pressure on the knees. Additionally, physical therapy may enhance flexibility while building up muscles around these areas.

I do roofing for work. Handle nail guns with nails held together by little brass wire. When you shoot a nail with our nailguns...some brass is always still attached to the nail (about 3 mm) and today I accidentally shot myself on top of my thigh and when I pulled the nail out, no wire came with it. The wound is now healed over (it's been about 10 hours since sending this inquiry) So how dire is it for me to get it professionally removed? Can I just deal with it in there forever? (Pain is 0) Will it poison me over time like lead?
Male | 22
The small piece of brass left in your thigh probably won’t cause any issues. Since the wound is stable and you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave it as it is. Brass is not as toxic as lead, so there's no need to worry about poisoning. Just watch for any redness, swelling, or pain around the area. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.
Female | 18
If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

Hi Doctor! My mum's spine is fractured and L1 is degenerated, she has been advised to go for spinal surgery by one surgeon, another prescribes its not necessary yet. She also needs hip replacement surgery which according to surgeon is more urgent & should be done first. We are confused and need some expert help on this please. THANK YOU!
Female | 75
Fractures cause pain and limit movement, while spinal degeneration also leads to discomfort. Back pain and difficulty walking are common symptoms. However, hip replacement is a more urgent concern because it significantly impacts mobility. Addressing the hip first, as recommended by the surgeon, could improve the quality of life by alleviating discomfort and mobility issues.

Foot bone surgery is difficult. Sinks and screws are important. X-rays are also important after surgery. If you have pain, swelling, or limited movement, see your orthopedist. Go for regular check-ups to get better.

Pain in right shoulder and right side ribs
Female | 27
Many reasons could explain this: a strained muscle, bruised rib, or internal organ issue. Recent falls or accidents may also be the reason —poor posture, overusing muscles too. First, try this: ice packs, rest that side. If pain persists, or worsens, it's the time to ask an orthopedist for help.

A sprain occurs when the ligaments around your joints are stretched or damaged. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the injured affected part among others. To help with a sprain, it's important to rest, ice the injured area, compress it with a bandage, and elevate your foot. In case If the pain doesn't go away, be sure to see an orthopedist for medical advice.

My sister met with and accident in oct 23, brain surgery (right side) was done and now her left hand (elbow joint) is not moving. Doctor said there is calcification in elbow joint. And surgery is also complicated. Physiotherapy also is not useful.
Female | 20
The calcification problem may occur when the elbow joint becomes the cause. The relative may have experienced either damage or inflammation and thus begins to notice a calcification disorder in the joint. The surgery may not be a simple one for sure. Always consult the doctors in charge of West to understand how to handle the treatment issues.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Female | 21
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

Hand problem my elbow is gone to fracture
Male | 25
Your elbow might be broken. When the elbow is broken, you can feel pain, see swelling, and can’t move your arm easily. Fractures may occur by falling or putting too much pressure on the joint while doing some activities. A cast or sling may be required for your elbow to heal, but sometimes an operation is necessary too. Don't forget to follow up with an orthopedist.

Female | 20
Discomfort can manifest through rib pain, shoulder aches, back discomfort on the right side, and challenges in breathing or bending when eating. These indicators could stem from muscle strain, digestive issues, or potential rib injury. For relief, consider resting, applying warmth, and utilizing over-the-counter pain medication. However, if the distress persists, visit an orthopedist.

I am 27 years old . During a month I suffered from knee pain and pooping sound coming from there . Even I noticed sounds coming from every joint.
Male | 27
You may be suffering from crepitus, a condition involving joints made from popping or cracking sounds. When the knee or another joint, like the knee, expands, you can hear the sound. This says that sometimes air bubbles may be in the joint space. Or the Cheerios cereal-like cartilage surfaces of our bones are responsible for creating noise.

I am 35 years old, was playing football and got injured in the knee and hand, some blood came out, I let it to dry 10 mins then went to wash with water and soap, unfortunately I didn't have plaster, I went home with the injury open to the air, I tried to minimize interactions with anything in the transportation and I am almost 100 sure, I didn't touch anything, once I went home I put beta din and sterilizer, my question shall I worry about anything in case I touched anything, what could i have done better, now I will always keep plaster and medical stuff with me
Male | 35
Keep the wound clean and monitor for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or increased pain. You did well by cleaning the wound and applying Betadine. It's good practice to carry a small first aid kit with plasters and antiseptics for such situations. If you notice any signs of infection or concerned, it's best to consult an orthopedic specialist to ensure proper healing and care.
