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 have a cousin. He has a condition that no doctor has been able to detect, all the tests he has done so far says he's completely fine, but he doesn't look that way since he has an abnormally big arm. The arm has an irregular shape. It's like clump of fats starting from his shoulder (which is also abnormally big) to his elbow. It stops there. I did hear that at one time it reduced, but now it's growing bigger. It's not that the arm is just big, it is abnormal and won't stop growing.

Your cousin has developed lipoma, which is a harmless tumor made of fat cells. This may lead to the development of a bulging out of some parts of the body, for example, the arm. Generally, lipomas do not bring any complications but may sometimes increase in size with time. If the lipoma is bothering you or affecting your movement, surgery may be a way to get rid of it. It is ideal to seek the advice of an orthopedist for exact diagnosis and treatment.

Iam 24 year old female. I had a neckpain 2months ago and doctor gave me anti inflammatory and pain killers for a week. After completing it came worse again. Next doctor gave me moxikind cv 625 and it got cooled. Along with headache i gave eye vision problem
Female | 24
Some of these signs can sometimes be connected. Neck pain may lead to tension headaches which in turn might affect one’s vision. Maintaining a good posture, taking regular screen breaks, and performing exercises that strengthen the muscles of the neck and back can be beneficial. However, it is important to speak to an orthopedist should these symptoms persist.

I am 27 years old . During a month I suffered from knee pain and pooping sound coming from there . Even I noticed sounds coming from every joint.
Male | 27
You may be suffering from crepitus, a condition involving joints made from popping or cracking sounds. When the knee or another joint, like the knee, expands, you can hear the sound. This says that sometimes air bubbles may be in the joint space. Or the Cheerios cereal-like cartilage surfaces of our bones are responsible for creating noise.

Male | 24
If you've had sudden back pain and have been taking pain medication, it might be best to consult a doctor before going to a water theme park. Certain activities there could worsen your back pain. If you decide to go, opt for gentler attractions and listen to your body to avoid discomfort.

Chest and back pain very hard
Female | 47
Chest and back pain together normally occur due to muscle strain. This can happen while doing everyday activities like lifting heavy things. Be sure to rest, and apply ice. Aspirin will ease the pain. If you are not sitting and lifting with a straight and proper posture, it may lead to chest and back pain as a result of muscle strain. If you still experience the same pain or it turns out to be severe, then it is necessary to visit an orthopedist.

Female | 32
The symptoms you are experiencing in your right hand can be due to a number of conditions. One possibility is that you may be experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome, this can cause symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand and fingers. It could be due to other reasons as well, consult an experienced orthopedist to get proper diagnosis.

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 have phase 2 ACL injury. Now I can climb stairs but sometimes feel pain slightly during downstairs. But there is slight swelling. Should I go for Physiotherapy? I supposed to journey by bus and auto. Sometimes feels slight buckles in my knee.
Male | 35
You better see an Orthopedic Specialist. ACL injuries necessitate accurate diagnosis and treatment to prevent additional damage. Sometimes physiotherapy may be beneficial, but it is more advisable to seek the advice of a specialist in order to get an adequate treatment regimen. Since the buckling can be a symptom of an unstable joint, you must address it immediately.

I am having a serious problem on my knee and day by day I am losing control of my leg. And now barely I can even walk, please tell me what should i do to get help from your knee specialist??
As per my understanding, you are experiencing discomfort in your waist & knee and gradual decreased sensation in your lower limbs, along with difficulty in walking as well. There are several causes which can lead to this kind of presentation. Causes generally are classified into spinal causes, traumatic causes or neuromuscular causes etc. Eg: slip disc, multiple sclerosis pinched nerve syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and many more. Treatment generally will be physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medication if required surgery but if there is weakness, difficulty in walking, or numbness, then it's a medical emergency. So kindly consult an orthopedic and a neurologist to rule out what exactly is the pathology behind your symptoms and get treated accordingly.
