Based on your description, you may have a knee sprain. A sprain occurs when the ligaments in the knee are stretched or torn. It includes swelling and pain, especially when you try to move your knee. Try to rest your knee, put ice on it, and elevate it. Furthermore, you can also utilize pain relievers. If it doesn't improve, go to an orthopedist.

Female | 18
The symptoms you are experiencing could be a sign of a Frozen Shoulder which is when the tissue in your shoulder becomes thicker and tighter than normal. A physical therapist can suggest some exercises that will help improve your range of motion while reducing discomfort.

My mother had an accident more than 10 years ago on her left thumb and without getting any proper treatment , her left thumb is not working voluntarily and its always folded. She can still feel pain but could not move her thumb. Is there any chance her thumb can work?
Female | 61
Nerves make our muscles move. If a nerve is hurt, the muscle it goes to won't work. The best thing for her thumb is to do exercises that might wake up the muscles and see a person who treats her hands. If someone is hurt it is important to get help fast so they can get better. Visit an orthopedist for further consultation.

Last week I fell and hit my knee. It is bruised and swollen. There are no breaks or cracks in the area. Today the bruise on my knee is starting to fade but the swelling is hard. Her legs can walk as usual, but sometimes it hurts, she can't straighten and feel pressured in the swollen part. Because the swelling is hot and hard. Kdng2 is tired and throbbing. When she wants to straighten her legs, she will crack her knees and feel heavy. When I sit down he is depressed in his knees. Is it dangerous or is it normal to get hit?

If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Ma'am cat has bitten to my father in left leg what to do for treatment tell me
Male | 40
The foremost thing is to wash the wound with warm water and soap. Following this, put the dressing on the wound using a new bandage. Check the area around the bite for redness, swelling, warmth, and pus. Each of these might be infection symptoms. You need to visit your healthcare provider if you observe these signs. The main treatments for infections at home are wound cleaning and dressings.

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

I have pain since last few weeks in left arm shoulder or hip.
Female | 23
The pain can have various potential causes. These may include muscular strain or injury, joint problems such as arthritis or bursitis, nerve impingement, tendonitis, or, in some cases, heart related issues. Consult an orthopedic or general physician as they can conduct a physical examination and order any necessary tests or imaging to help determine the underlying cause of your pain.

I am a 25 year old male who's had back surgery. I have numbness and burning pain in my legs and I'm not getting any relief.
Male | 25
It is not good to feel numbness and burning pain in the legs after back surgery. These feelings happen because the nerves get irritated. This could happen because of swelling or pressure on the nerves. It is important to tell your surgeon about these feelings. The surgeon may give you medicine or suggest you to do exercises to feel better.

I have back ake at my teenage 14
Female | 14
It’s common to experience back pain in your age group because of several factors. It may be due to rapid growth or carrying a heavy backpack. Some indications for this condition may include tenderness, rigidity, or uneasiness. To solve this problem, don’t carry heavy bags and do exercises that will tighten your muscles. Also, be mindful of how you sit or stand. If the discomfort persists then it would be wise to inform an adult about it.

im 17 Feeling numbness and can’t feel pain only when I sit lower back it started a few days ago I can’t feel my body and when I lay down I forget to breath
Male | 17
Hey there! Those symptoms seem worrying. Numbness and not feeling pain in your lower back, plus forgetting to breathe when lying down, could mean nerve issues. A pinched nerve or poor circulation to your back may cause this. Try changing how you sit, doing gentle stretches, and consciously taking deep breaths when lying down. But, it's important to talk to an orthopedist for an exam and advice.

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 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.

Pair me sunn aa gya hai kamar and pair ke bich sunn ho gya hai and camar me pen ho rha hai
Female | 25
If you feel that your lower back and the area between your legs are getting numbed then you might also experience tingling feelings around your back. This may be due to an intermission with the nerves along your spine. To relieve this, ensure you maintain a good posture, avoid lifting heavy objects, and include light workouts to strengthen your muscles. Should these signs persist, consult an orthopedist immediately.
