Can back surgery improve my quality of life?
I am 40 years old male and been complaining from back pain for about almost 20 years in the past years as I’m getting older. It’s been getting worse now I am kind of walking differently and my back is a little bent with a back hump, I did an MRI and I had C4 C5 C6 t1 t2 and L5 S1 mentioned some abnormality in their function. My question is will this be cured through surgery or even give me a better chance living a better life if I do the surgery because back surgery really does scare me a lot.

Your back pain could be due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. If it is, you might have trouble walking or your posture could change. Having surgery might help take the pressure off of the nerves and make the symptoms better. Surgery can often help improve your quality of life, but it's important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a spine specialist. They will guide you on the best treatment options and help address your concerns about surgery.

hi. i have extreme joint pain in all my joints. i have anxiety and depression too. please help me
Female | 24
Having severe pain in all joints, worries, and low mood could mean rheumatoid arthritis. This happens when your immune system fights your joints by mistake, causing swelling and pain. It's crucial to consult an orthopedist for proper tests. They'll explore treatments like medicines and counseling to control symptoms, allowing a better life quality.

I got a punch on my hand nearer to shoulder.after 2 days a bluish red spot is seen. I put on balm and rubbed it.now there is no pain but little when I touch it.no swelling or no problem while moving.what should I do?
Male | 21
You hit your hand and now there's a blueish-red spot. That's normal after being punched. The balm helped make it hurt less, which is good. It feeling sore when you touch it is normal too. But keep watching it. You can ice it briefly if needed. It'll get better soon.

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.

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?
Male | 40
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.

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

You may have an issue where your shinbone bends. Sometimes, this impacts height growth. You might notice your legs appearing unequal in size, or feeling pain. A disorder affecting growth could be the reason. An orthopedic specialist can recommend exercises or braces to address the curve and track your development.

I have alot of swelling in my leg i cant walk and its painful
Female | 17
You might have a disease called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It begins when occurs a clot in a deep vein, most often, however, in the leg. Swelling, pain, warmth, and redness are the symptoms. To cure DVT, blood thinners may be required to stop the clots from getting bigger. Intensive care interventions also require a raised leg and rest. However, it might be necessary for the veins to be compressed further if your leg swelling and pain do not go away or worsen.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road
Female | 22
I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

The toe might be painful, swollen, bruised, or hard to move, which are all the symptoms of a toe injury. To accelerate the recovery process, you may rest, put ice to the swollen area, lift your foot, and use analgesics by mouth if necessary. If pain persists do consult an orthopedist.

Male | 14
When a toe gets partially displaced, it can lead to stiffness and difficulty bending. This may be because the toe did not heal properly after the injury. It is crucial to visit an orthopedist to properly evaluate the toe. They might suggest exercises or wearing special footwear to help the toe move better.
