Second Opinion for Dislocated Shoulder in Elderly
I am 82 year old female who was hit in the right shoulder by a waitres in the dining room where I live. The shoulder is dislocated and the current doctor I saw said the ball is small so it will keep coming out so he did nothing except order some physical therapy to help strengthen muscles in the area. My arm is losing strength and I I am having trouble even getting dressed using that arm. Who can I see to get a second opinion as to what to do to solve this problem.

Your dislocated shoulder seems challenging, and arm struggles are tough. Since your current doctor didn't help enough, seek an orthopedic specialist's expertise. They specialize in assessing shoulder issues and recommending treatments. The right treatment can improve strength and relieve pain.

Low back pain down to both legs
Male | 36
Sciatica causes your back nerve to feel squeezed. This makes both legs hurt, tingle, or go numb. You can try resting, using ice packs or heating pads, and gentle stretches. But don't wait too long - if leg pains remain, you should see an orthopedist. Further exams and treatments may be needed to address this common back problem.

Your symptoms are similar to osteoarthritis. This condition occurs when the protective cartilage in the joints wears down over time, causing pain and stiffness. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery to manage symptoms. Continue monitoring your symptoms and contact your doctor if you experience any new or worsening symptoms.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong
Male | 67
Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

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 got little accident by scooty I felt 3 days before.. there is no more scratch... But my toe (leg) is swelled and bood clott got reddish patch and having pain.. please suggest me what to do.
Female | 17
You may be suffering from a blood clot in your leg as a result of the accident. Injury to the leg causes blood to pool and form a clot causing swelling, redness, and pain. This is serious because the clot may break free and travel to other parts of your body. Elevate your leg above your heart, apply ice, and take a break. When the pain persists or becomes severe, go to the nearest hospital immediately.

Female | 22
Based on your symptoms, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist. Persistent joint pain, sounds, and discomfort spreading to multiple areas could indicate several conditions, including vitamin D deficiency or other bone/joint disorders. It’s crucial to have a thorough evaluation by a specialist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment. Please visit an orthopedic specialist or rheumatologist for a detailed assessment and proper management of your condition.

I’m suffering from a severe cold with a headache and particularly intense pain in the back of my neck. It’s causing me trouble when bending, getting up, and even eating. Could you recommend some medication for me? I took LCZ 5mg this morning, but it hasn’t provided relief.Also I have slight cough and a sensation in my nose.
Male | 39
Your symptoms suggest sinusitis. Inflamed sinuses cause headaches, neck pain, coughs, congestion, runny noses. Over-the-counter ibuprofen reduces pain, inflammation. Drinking fluids, using humidifiers eases discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor promptly.

I fell from the staicase and twisted my ankle. The pain wasn't much initially but now it is increasing and my ankle has swollen. It isn't paining much when in rest but while walking it is paining a lot

It appears that you have strained your ankle. Rest, ice, compression and elevation can ease pain and swelling. Don't put pressure on your foot and check out an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and treatment.

I have a twitch in my middle finger. Right hand.
Female | 27
Finger twitches usually aren't serious issues. They often occur due to fatigue, anxiety, consuming too much caffeine, or lack of sleep. The right middle finger's twitch is annoying but typically harmless. Consider getting more rest, relaxing, reducing coffee intake, and sleeping enough hours. However, if this persists beyond a week, consulting an orthopedic specialist might be advisable.
