Should I Resume Normal Activities After Knee Twist?
I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?

You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

I have an ingrown nail in the feet. Now i geel my feet weird and my leg like a tendon ahs been pulled
Female | 44
This occurs when the nail’s edge grows into the skin, resulting in pain and redness. If left untended, an infection can develop. Your strange foot feelings and the pulled-tendon-like sensation in your leg could both be tied to this condition. To help reduce discomfort, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently massage the area. However, if the pain continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to seek help from an orthopedist.

My son recently has hurt his wrist or hand he fell now his knuckle is enlarged and weirdly shaped and a bit bulky and feels different this happens 3 days ago
Male | 14
Your kid may have injured a knuckle while he landed. All the symptoms, even the growth of the knuckle, its strange shape, and heavy sensation do show a fracture or dislocation. So, applying ice is a typical solution to reduce any swelling the hand has. It means that once the swelling has shrunk using ice, one can then gently bandage the hand. The best thing to do is to visit an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment.

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.

Why have I had rib pain for months and hurts my side when breathing in
Female | 21
Chronic pain in ribs occurs which makes them feel painful while breathing. Moreover, it is often associated with the development of a life-threatening disease. The most widespread reasons for such pain are muscle strain, rib cracks, or inflammation of the lung lining. If you feel that such pain is occurring, it would be wise to make an appointment with a pulmonologist or an orthopedist.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

For joint pain, especially with rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to consult a rheumatologist. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help with the pain temporarily, but seeing an orthopedic specialist will give you the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Hi I need some advice on having pins removed from my kneecap.
Male | 32
Before having pins removed from your kneecap, consult your orthopedic surgeon to discuss the procedure and timing. Prepare according to their instructions. The removal is usually done under local anesthesia, involving a small incision to remove the pins. Expect some discomfort and swelling post surgery.

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.

Hi, I'm Tanille Henrico. I had a decompression and fusion back surgery on my lower back 5 years ago. And I'm on Lyrica 75mg twice a day and Neurontin 500mg three times a day. My back is now starting to get more and more painful by the day. And I must drink extra pain medication every day. What must I do? Please whatsapp me back
Female | 44
Looks like you're suffering from a lot of backache. Even though Lyrica and Neurontin kinds of drugs are being taken, back pain may worsen, and this may be a brand new problem or the deterioration of what used to be. You have to meet your doctor for a check-up to diagnose the cause of the recurrent pain. Sometimes, it is necessary to change your meds or use additional treatments to reduce the pain as much as possible.

I would advise consulting with an orthopedic surgeon focusing on hand surgery. Delaying the care seeking should be avoided and even more so when Medicaid can reimburse treatment costs.

Sir my age is 58 yrs old and I am suffering back pan injury from couple yrs due DISC DIFFUSE BULGE AT L4-L5 LEVEL AND L5-S1 LEVEL BY MRI SCAN LUMBAR SPINE. PLEASE ADVISE ?
Male | 58
The bulging discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels might be a reason for the nearby nerves to get compressed which would have caused the pain. Sometimes, resting, physical therapy, and pain medications can help manage the problem. In cases where the pain is severe and other treatments don't work, surgery can be an option. Generally, you should keep your body safe and abide by your doctor's orders to discover the most effective method for treating your back pain.

Experiencing left hand pain during heavy exercises like bench pressing, push ups, or dips could be due to muscle strain, nerve compression, tendonitis, joint issues, or even heart related concerns. It's important to consult a healthcare professional like an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
