I am a 20 year old male. I have observed that the growth of my arm bone(both the hands) stopped in teen years which resulted in unusually thin arms. What should I do?

Answered on 12th Aug '24
You have skinny arms due to delayed bone growth. This can be caused by factors like genetics, poor diet, or hormones. It's important to see your doctor; they can evaluate your condition and recommend treatment. In the meantime, focus on foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, as these help strengthen bones. Also, working out and lifting weights can build muscle and strengthen your arms. However, your orthopedist’s advice will be the most helpful, so ensure to follow it.

I have a lump on my foot and I was wondering if it was something that I needed to get looked at immediately.
Female | 22
Lumps can form on feet for various reasons. They might result from an impact, like bumping against something. Or they could signify a cyst or wart. If the lump causes discomfort, grows larger, or interferes with walking, seeking medical attention is advisable. An orthopedist can properly diagnose and treat the condition based on the lump's nature.

I am suffering in lower back pain and I have disc bulge in my lower back
Male | 22
One of the discs in your back moves out of place and presses nearby nerves. Pain can feel sharp or dull - even traveling down your leg. For relief, rest, use heat or ice, try gentle exercises. But most importantly, talk with an orthopedist for professional advice.

Why does ac joint hurt?
Here are many things that can happen to the AC joint, but the most common conditions are arthritis, fractures and separations. Arthritis is a condition characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint, which is essentially wear and tear of the smooth cartilage that allows the bones to move smoothly. Like arthritis at other joints in the body, it is characterized by pain and swelling, especially with activity. Over time, the joint can wear out and get larger, with spurs forming around it. These spurs are a sign of the arthritis and not a cause of the pain. Reaching across the body toward the other arm aggravates arthritis at the AC joint. AC joint wear and tear is common in weight lifters, especially among those who bench press and to a lesser extent, military press. In weight lifters the arthritis at the AC joint has a special name — osteolysis.

Is it normal to experience swelling three months post hip replacement surgery?
Male | 48
Three months after hip replacement surgery, it is not uncommon to have swelling. But in case of pain or redness connected with swelling, the orthopedic surgeon should be consulted. They might instead refer you to a joint replacement specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

Head to shoulder nerves pain
Female | 38
Your head and shoulders seem to hurt. Muscle tension, bad posture, or stress can make this happen. It might also be nerve issues in that area. To ease the pain, try gentle neck stretches. Sit and stand up straight. Use a heating pad on the sore spot. But if it won't go away, see an orthopedist for help.

You should seek immediate medical attention from a professional, orthopedist, or family doctor for an evaluation and diagnosis. Possible causes include muscle strain, injury, structural issues, or medical conditions. Avoid activities that worsen the pain.

Hello, 3 hours ago i fell on my knee while skateboarding. Left knee over the patella now swollen a bit more left over the patella. It looks tho as if the bone slipped, might be because of the swelling but thats what concerns me. I can walk without pain and its a bit red because its a small wound now. I could send pictures. I am 22.
Male | 22
You have probably damaged your knee as a consequence of falling overboard. Swelling and maybe a bone slip are the consequence of trauma or impact caused by a fall. The good news is that you can walk without any pain. You can put a cold pack on to soothe the discomfort and raise your knee. Monitor any development and visit an orthopedist if the pain does not go away or worsens.

I have back pain which effects my legs I have numbness in legs due to it and can't walk properly and I can't bend or sit down. The reason is I was inactive for a whole year I used to stay in bed for the whole year
Female | 16
Your INACTIVITY caused muscle weakness, leading to lower back pain.. The pain could now be radiating down your legs as numbness. The numbness in your legs could be due to nerve damage. You need to consult a DOCTOR who will assess your condition and advise you accordingly....

there is a lump on my calves i’d like to know what is that
Female | 16
This might be caused by a muscle knot or cyst developing whenever a muscle tightens or a sac fills with fluid. When you touch it, you may feel pain, tenderness, or no symptoms at all. It is important to use warm compresses, massage gently, and perform stretch exercises. If the situation doesn’t improve, seek medical advice for further assessment from an orthopedist

Female | 17
For shoulder pain similar to a frozen shoulder, it's best to consult an orthopedist for accurate diagnosis and treatment advice. Possible steps to consider could be physical therapy, pain management with medications (under medical guidance), hot/cold therapy, stretching, gentle movement, and, if necessary, corticosteroid injections or surgical options.

Right hip subchondral sclerosis with fewill defindradiolucent areasnoted inhead of right femur
Male | 34
Subchondral sclerosis is when the bone becomes harder. Radiolucent areas are places where the bone isn’t as dense. These changes can cause pain and stiffness in the hip area. They may occur because of natural aging processes and wear and tear on our bodies over time. To relieve these symptoms, try doing exercises or going for physical therapy sessions.

What is the best pain relief for degenerative disc disease
Female | 61
For pain relief in degenerative disc disease,
As per alternative medicine therapy, pain is due to imbalance in the body I.e. acid/ alkali imbalance or yin or yang imbalance
So first step is to give balancing acupuncture points and then target points, when 50% pain reduction is achieved, moxibustion, cupping, electro stimulation and seed therapy, diet tips and physical exercise is given

I have pain in both hands(3 inches above and below the elbows) and legs(5 inches above and below the knees). Not bone pain as I feel good if I try to restrict my blood flow. I always wear knee and elbow caps for pain relief. As far I remember I'm suffering from this pain for almost 13-14 years. Currently, I'm 20 years, I'm was being told it was due to the growing stage. Earlier I had vitamin D level 7 but now it is 30 but still, the pain is not gone. I have pain almost daily, I will feel lucky I don't have pain that particular day. If I walk for long or stand or play, or do something intense then the intensity of the pain will be unbearable sometimes due to pain I can't even sleep at night. In my test report, I have everything normal. Tests I have done so far are ASO TITRE, Anti-Nuclear, CPR, HLA B profile, Anti-CCP, Phosphorus, CPK, URIC ACID, CALCIUM, GLUCOSE, VITAMIN D AND B-12, THS, CBC, Alkaline Phosphate, Potassium, LDH, Magnesium.

Blood can also be a symptom of urinary tract infection or kidney stones. On the other hand, the blood in the stool may suggest a more serious condition like bladder or kidney cancer. A consultation with a urologist is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
