Why Do I Have Back and Leg Pain with Other Body Aches?
I am 39 years old and have been experiencing back pain for over 2 years. About a year ago, I started feeling pain in my lower back, which eventually subsided, but for the past 3 to 4 months, the pain has returned and now extends to my thigh and leg. When I wake up, the pain improves after some movement. I find it difficult to sleep straight in bed due to lipomas on my side waist that cause discomfort when pressed, resulting in pain. When I get out of bed, my body aches, and my legs feel weak and painful. Occasionally, I take a Nimesulide tablet, which provides relief for 5 to 6 days. Additionally, I experience pain in different parts of my body on different days, such as my chest, arms, and neck. What should I do?

The pain radiating from the lumbar region to the hip and leg is likely to be a sciatica, which is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Thus it is advisable to wear proper clothes. The lipomas may also be located on your side waist. It is so important to have a thorough evaluation by an orthopedist to establish the exact cause of your symptoms and create a proper management plan.

If you've had sudden back pain and have been taking pain medication, it might be best to consult a doctor before going to a water theme park. Certain activities there could worsen your back pain. If you decide to go, opt for gentler attractions and listen to your body to avoid discomfort.

For 3 months, the area around my right shoulder blade has been swollen and I sometimes have pain when moving my arm. The swollen area is soft and does not hurt to the touch.
Male | 19
You have swelling near a joint. That's probably bursitis. The swollen areas contain fluid sacs. Moving your affected arm brings pain and discomfort. You should rest your arm and use cold packs. This can reduce inflammation. Also, try stretching exercises. These may offer relief. However, if the pain continues, visit an orthopedist.

Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

I feel pain chest pain while breathing out when move head downward
Male | 21
When breathing out or moving your head down, you experience chest discomfort. This issue stems from muscle strain between ribs or in the chest wall area. Occasionally, rib joint inflammation can cause this sensation. To alleviate symptoms, rest is recommended, along with warm compresses on the affected area and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the condition persists, consulting an orthopedist may be advisable.

I am 19 years old, female. I have been suffering from a clicking sound on my right side jaw for last 5 days. And also I am having problem to open my mouth widely. Is this tmj problem? And what should I do now? Please help sir
Female | 19
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.

Hi Im a 26yo female, I got a lumbar MRI done because my back pain was giving me trouble to do daily activities, I cant bend forward, walk longish distances and it feels tight and hurts even when sitting or laying all these symptoms were random, I havent fell nor lifted anything too heavy, results say I have buldging associated with anular tear discs L4 and L5. And deshidrated discs L4 and L5. What does this mean? Will I get better without surgery? Will I ever get back to normal? Will I ever be able to go back to the gym and cycling? I WILL take the results to the doctor once I get my paycheck but I wanna get a 2nd opinion in the meantime. Thanks
Female | 26
Bulging and annular tear discs at L4 and L5 mean the discs in your lower back are damaged and dehydrated, which is causing your pain. Most cases improve with physical therapy, rest, and medication, and surgery is often not needed. However, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist for a proper treatment plan. They can give you the best advice on recovery and return to activities like gym and cycling.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?
As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

Ive been having severe neck and shoulder pain radiating down my leg on my left side for a couple weeks now. Nothing has been able to relieve the pain. Im having trouble walking and sitting down or rolling over while i sleep. I have no knowledge of hurting myself or straining anything.
Female | 28
You're possibly dealing with sciatica. That occurs when a nerve gets pinched in your lower back area. Neck and shoulder discomfort could stem from muscle tension or strain. Gentle stretches, warm baths, and OTC pain meds may provide relief. However, if the pain lingers, see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

27 years old and currently I'm feeling sever left Neck pain which worse during sitting for long periods to read and feel cracking sound when I press my Left neck! I have no family history of CA! My mother once reported to have Increased Thyroid stimulating hormone but it is not significant
Male | 27
In this case, prolonged sitting in one position and repetitive neck movements can serve as the causes. The popping is now attributed to the presence of air bubbles in the joints. It's very nice that you don't have a family background of cancer. If you can, do gentle neck exercises along with stretching. You may also use heat or ice for relief. If the pain still does not go away, you can look for an orthopedist for more help.

What does partial lumbarization of S1 bilaterally with possible bilateral lateral S1-S2 pseudoarthrosis. No acute fracture mean?
Female | 29
S1 shows partial lumbarization. This is indicative of an unusual section of your back. It may be responsible for the pain you feel in your lower back. If a bone does not go the way it is supposed to, it will join another bone and cause an immovable joint which is what S1 - S2 bilateral sacroiliitis refers to. If there is no sudden fracture then there is none. Try to have some rest; take mild painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen which can be bought over the counter at any pharmacy near you then after doing all this if it doesn’t work out fine consult a physiotherapist who will provide appropriate therapy for relief apart from doing exercises that are not too strenuous.

I hurted myself on knees so since 4 hrs it's paining but there is no swelling so should I visit Dr or it will be fine after weeks
Male | 22
Even without swelling, pain can happen due to injury or overuse. Rest your knee, ice it, and elevate it. If the pain doesn't improve in two days, seeing a doctor is wise. Many potential causes exist for knee pain without swelling. Resting, icing, and elevating are good first steps. If the pain persists, seek medical attention.

I am 24 years old and male. I hurt my knee in football and now I feel pain on one side.
Male | 24
You may have injured your knee during a football match. Achilles tendinitis or patellar tendinitis are the two most frequent causes of pain in the knee after an injury. Further, you may also have swelling or a problem moving the knee. To alleviate your knee problem, rest your knee, then put some ice on it to let it heal and elevate your leg. If you are still experiencing pain, it is relevant to take a rest from your daily activities and consult an orthopedist or therapist.

Male | 21
A high fever and a sudden swelling in your right leg could be an infection. There are numerous causes of infections such as germs entering your body. It is of course important to take a break, drink fluids, and then use the cold pack on the swollen area. A consultation with an orthopedist allows proper treatment and determining the cause of the disease.
