Answered on 15th Oct '24
It is concerning that your knee has been swollen for 4 years. This could be due to an untreated injury or another underlying issue like joint damage. I strongly recommend that you visit an orthopedic specialist, who can examine your knee properly and suggest the right treatment to reduce the swelling and prevent further complications.

I’m 22 years and I’m having thigh ache and I used pain relief last month and it stopped but now it’s aching me again
Female | 22
Thigh pain can be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, overuse, or even bad posture. Sometimes, you're sitting for too long, and you'll feel your thighs are hurting. Alongside this issue is that you are sitting for a long time and your thighs hurt. Do some light stretching, and apply heat to the affected area. Be active and avoid long periods of sitting down to allow them to feel well.

Feeling heavy in the upper part of my shoulder blade, is this an indication of stroke?
Female | 41
Heaviness around your upper shoulder blade typically doesn't indicate a stroke occurring. Stroke symptoms manifest suddenly: numbness or weakness affecting one side, facial drooping, speech difficulties, trouble walking. Confusion may also arise. If experiencing such symptoms, visit an orthopedist.

I m 32 years age female last two having pain heels of legs x-ray n medicine done no effect x-ray shows enlargement of heel bones.
Female | 32
Acupuncture offers relief from chronic heel spurs and has proven record in treating calcaneal spur.
Extra bone tissue known as heel spurs which develop due to over stress of the foot can cause pain in back of heel. Electro Acupuncture points, Moxibustion, Acupressure and seed therapy have shown great relief in heel pain and inflammation. Also correction in the enlargement of heel bone is observed as the acupuncture treatment is taken on regular basis. I.e. 2-3 sessions weekly continued for a period of 1-2 months.

It will not do you any good to stick pain relief gel/medication to the ankle for persistent pain. A qualified orthopedic specialist should diagnose and treat you adequately.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb
Male | 26
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

I am a 19 years old girl and have been experiencing extreme discomfort and pain in my upper back, specially at night and after smoking. I have also been going through shortness of breath after doing exercise and regular walks I havent taken any pills or done anything differently what should I do?
Female | 19
The pain in your upper back, especially at night and after smoking, along with breathlessness after exercises, could be a sign of a lung or heart problem. These symptoms are also the cause of concern, which is why it is important to have an orthopedist check you as soon as possible. These symptoms may be due to inflammation in the lungs or heart, which in turn, requires medical treatment.

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.

Right-side pelvic and leg pain stem from various causes. It may happen if muscles get pulled or because of troubles with the hip or back. At times, this discomfort links to reproductive or digestive systems issues. An orthopedist should evaluate properly to identify the exact problem and recommend suitable treatment.

The symptoms of numbness and sleepiness are concerning. These symptoms may be due to a problem with your nerves or spine. You must see a doctor as soon as possible for a proper evaluation. The drugs you have listed are good for the relief of pain, but if we want to know the exact reason for your symptoms, we must treat the underlying cause.

Tibia and fibila frecture
Male | 29
Tibia and fibula fractures involve broken lower leg bones. Pain, swelling, and inability to move the leg characterize symptoms. Falls or accidents commonly cause these injuries. Treatment involves casts or surgical repair of bones. Ice, rest, and leg elevation help relieve pain and swelling. Recovering full strength and mobility often requires physical therapy.

पैर पर खीचना महसूस होना तथा सुन होना महसूस जैसा लगना
Male | 24
Experiencing a sensation of 'pulling' in your leg is like your nerves telling you something is wrong. This could be due to nerve damage or excessive strain. Identifying any damage or muscle stretching that might be causing these sensations is important. Take a break, use ice for swelling, and gently stretch the area. If there's no improvement, consult an orthopedist for a closer examination.

I don't have any disease, I also did blood test but nothing wrong in the report but I have very little swelling in my left ankle which goes away in the morning or when I rest but comes back and also when I press my legs mid upper bone it makes a small dent ,I think it's fluid retention or high salt intake or due to heat or long sitting and standing, please suggest me because I am having anxiety due to this.
Female | 27
It's good to hear that your blood tests are normal, but the swelling in your ankle and the dent in your leg might still need attention. This could be due to fluid retention, high salt intake, or prolonged sitting and standing. I recommend visiting a general physician or a vascular specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address your anxiety as well, and they can guide both.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by my doctor as no other condition fits the symptoms. However I don’t believe it is correct as my pain areas are constant and not sore to touch. When I touch the pain area the pain is relieved. I have pain around my forehead, neck, traps on both sides. Then on the right side my lat, glute, hamstring and calf. I am fatigued all the time, muscles are either tensed or not activating. I’ve had this same pain every waking hour for 6 years. Does anyone know what this condition actually is?
Male | 31
According to the symptoms that you have mentioned, the most likely diagnosis to your muscle pain and fatigue is Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Which produces muscle pain and tenderness, similar to fibromyalgia, is among the symptoms of this condition. Muscles' trigger point gets developed, causing pain in different areas due to the compression against the nerves. The muscle would then become loosened up or weaker. The key features of this disorder include physical therapy sessions, injections of trigger point pressure, and a certain kind of drug guidance to manage stress.

My age 22 girl unmarried so me waist There is pain below, above the hips and below the waist. I feel this pain only when I bend and there is no pain in front and back. Why does this happen to me, is it a serious issue and what should I do It doesn't happen much, it's normal, but it definitely happens.
Female | 22
The discomfort may be caused by a strained muscle or a small injury. This can occur when you bend or move in a particular way. It's not typically a serious condition but it can be painful. Rest, use a warm compress, and steer clear of activities that make the pain worse. If the pain lasts or increases, a visit to an orthopedist.
