Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to bend sideways. As a result, the nerves may be compressed, and in some cases, the pain may be ejected. The main symptoms include pain, which may also move to the neck area. The best solution is to consult a spine specialist who can offer exercises or other treatments to assist your pain and discomfort.

I am 15 years old and have had a knee injury for 11 months . It started out as a meniscus injury and that has gotten better. According to my most recent MRI, I have edema , synovitis, and slight injuries to my ligaments. It doesn’t sound severe, but I have difficulty walking normally, and it often cracks, which makes it deteriorate. Also, because of the long duration,my muscles have muscle atrophy. My question is: What do the cracks mean(are they fine or not), and what should I do to recover? Thanks.
Male | 15
Crackling from your knee is fostered by harsh surfaces or air bubbles. Although it’s perfectly normal at times, it could signify a problem if pain or swelling accompanies the snaps. For recovery, gentle exercises along with physical therapy will not only strengthen supporting muscles, leading to better knee stability. Be cautious while moving be sure to stay away from activities that may exacerbate this popping sound. You can also visit an orthopedist.

I am 30 female recently i fall down from activa and got bruises just wanted to know if it is infected or not
Female | 30
If you have any bruising and are worried about infection there are some things to look out for. An infected bruise may become more swollen, red, warm, or painful. If you notice these signs then it could be infected. Gently clean the bruise, apply a clean dressing, and keep an eye on it. If in doubt, get it looked at.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/
Female | 21
You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

Having leg pain from 30 days
Male | 42
If the pain has been bothering you for a whole month, it is better to get treatment. Besides, leg pain that lasts can be caused by items like strained muscle, abuse, or poor blood circulation. The best solution for leg pain is to rest, apply ice packs, and do light exercises. If the discomfort persists following this treatment, get an opinion from an orthopedist for additional evaluation and medical care.

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?
Female | 19
It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

I had a question I was eating and accidentally put to much sugar and my back being hurting for the pass 4 days
Male | 17
Eating too many sweet things can make your back hurt. Sugar can make your body inflamed, and that leads to pain in your back. You should eat less sweet foods and drinks. Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead. Drink lots of water too. Light exercise might also help your back feel better. If you don't feel relieved, contact an orthopedist.

Male | 40
The cause in the case of a sudden shooting leg pain to a pain-free leg previously could be due to number of reasons including injury, muscle strain, or underlying medical conditions such as peripheral arterial disease, deep vein thrombosis or nerve damage. Go see a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist.

I am a 50 year old diabetic with rheumatoid arthritis. I have had a numb feeling that also feels like a cramp causing severe pain down my right side, starting at the base of my spine, down the back of my right leg, all the way down to my foot. Help please.
Female | 50
Your symptoms are quite similar to those of sciatica. Sciatica pains are a form of irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is often responsible for the feeling. Physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary. It's important to consult a specialist, like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance tailored to your condition.

I am a 20 year old young man for about three years when I walk too much my ankle gets watery and even it swells up so much that I have trouble walking what can I do?
Male | 20
It’s a medical problem called ankle edema that you seem to be suffering from. If your ankle begins to swell and becomes watery after walking for too long, it is likely to be a symptom of poor blood circulation or damage to the tissues around your ankle. This phenomenon can be the result of various factors like trauma, overweight, or even particular diseases. To minimize the swelling and pain, it is important to rest your ankle, lift it, put ice on it, and use suitable footwear. Swelling that persists should be checked by an orthopedist.

I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist I'm suppose to have surgery on in the morning, the cyst disappeared 3 days ago. Should I still have the surgery or will they do the surgery still
Male | 37
Your ganglion cysts aren't often painful, though sometimes annoying or movement-limiting. Since yours vanished naturally, surgery might not be required anymore. However, inform your doctor about this development so they can reassess if the operation is still necessary or not.

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.

I am 39 years old female. I have always been very active growing up, doing softball, martial arts, basketball etc. I blew my right ACL in my knee in 2009 and got it fixed. However, in the last 6 months I've noticed that I have been hurting A LOT in my joints, lower back, and left hip. Like, if I am up on my feet more than like 30 to 40 min and sit down my lower back and left hip hurt pretty bad and it is a deep pain like in the bones and joints. Would this be arthritis related, inflammation from arthritis from my years of being active....? I have also noticed that I get small random bruising here and there from time to time and not recall why. If I sit for like 30 min and go to stand up, I have to stand up slow bc my lower back hurts so bad it takes me a few min to be able to straighten my back out as well.
Female | 39
You are faced with some pain as a result of arthritis connected to an old knee injury together with your ongoing active life. Inflammation due to arthritis may lead to the feeling you’re experiencing. To get better, indulge in light workouts, try out cold and hot therapy, or even take some drugs or visit an orthopedist.

I am 22 female I have a bump on my foot that is getting bruised and bigger
Female | 22
You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.

Pain where pelvis / femur connect severe pain when I stand up.
Male | 57
You might be experiencing a lot of discomfort where your pelvis connects with your thigh bone especially when standing up. This could be due to swelling or an injury in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments around that part of the body. You should rest, put ice on it, and avoid activities that make it worse. If this does not help then go and see an orthopedist who will examine you further before giving any treatment.
