Is Knee Replacement with 3-D Printing Right for Me?
I am having issues with my right knee. My current doctor always suggests cortisol shots, but I refuse them because they don't work for me. I am very active, but my right knee slows me down. I'm looking for a new doctor and considering a knee replacement, preferably with 3-D printing technology. My name is Martin Castro.

You may have plantar fasciitis. It occurs when foot bottom tissue gets strained, and inflamed. Comfy shoes help. Do stretches. Apply ice. See a physical orthopedic specialist if the pain won't go away. They'll make a treatment plan for you. Keep caring for yourself.

My left side hurts all the way up into my back stabbing and pinching pain and makes me feel like I’m going to pass out
Female | 22
When your side hurts badly, reaching up to your back with stabbing, pinching pain, several issues may cause it. A strained muscle, kidney stones, or pancreas problems could be reasons. To identify the cause, you should visit an orthopedist. They'll examine you and recommend treatment.

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.

While climbing the steps, I slipped and fell down. The knee of the leg was hit by the step. X-rays are all normal. But there is pain when bending the leg. There is a fluid inside. It's feeling tight while bending knee
Male | 27
You might have hurt your knee when you slipped and fell. The pain and tightness you feel in your leg when it is bent and the fluid inside it, could be due to a condition called knee effusion. Knee effusion is the excess fluid that gets inside the knee joint and works as a protection for it after an injury. Rest, ice, elevation, and gentle exercises can help reduce the pain and swelling. If the pain doesn't go away or worsens, it's crucial to visit an orthopedist.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.
Male | 27
It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

I am 18 years old .I decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kg. I am suffering one side of knee pain in right leg. And there is a pain for one day from neck and spinal cord
Female | 18
The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

Hello, I had a pain in my right side since last Tuesday night. I went to the urgent care and they did bloodwork, urine sample, and examined me. She said she think it’s a pulled muscle. I still have the pain. It radiates down my leg too
Female | 21
You may have a muscle strain or herniation in the lumbar region of the spine. My advice would be that you have to opt for an orthopedic specialist or a neurosurgeon for a final diagnosis. The doctor can suggest an imaging test such as an MRI or CT scan.
