Should I Remove Brass-Wire Nail Shot in Thigh?
I do roofing for work. Handle nail guns with nails held together by little brass wire. When you shoot a nail with our nailguns...some brass is always still attached to the nail (about 3 mm) and today I accidentally shot myself on top of my thigh and when I pulled the nail out, no wire came with it. The wound is now healed over (it's been about 10 hours since sending this inquiry) So how dire is it for me to get it professionally removed? Can I just deal with it in there forever? (Pain is 0) Will it poison me over time like lead?

The small piece of brass left in your thigh probably won’t cause any issues. Since the wound is stable and you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave it as it is. Brass is not as toxic as lead, so there's no need to worry about poisoning. Just watch for any redness, swelling, or pain around the area. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

I feel pain near my groin area on my left. Sometimes, it's sharp. It started last week but one with pain during urination, but it stopped last week. Now I'm just experiencing a strain on my left groin area. How can I be assisted?
Male | 20
The pain you referred to before may have been due to an infection that caused the pain during urination. This may be a muscle strain or even a hernia. Getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water, applying ice, and avoiding heavy work are things you can do to help yourself feel better. If the pain continues, you should see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis.

Female | 35
You feel this kind of pain while sitting. This pain can be caused by different things. It can be due to a strained or tight muscle sometimes. Other times it could be from the spine or nerves having a problem. To ease the pain, try sitting with good posture, using pillows for support, and doing light stretches. If it persists, you should seek help from an orthopedist who may advise on what could serve as a relief.

This condition is called knee effusion. Some Injury, arthritis, or other health issues often cause this. Take rest, elevate your legs, use ice packs, and do gentle exercises with a recommendation from a physiotherapist. Also, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding activities that worsen swelling is crucial in healing this condition. It is better to consult an orthopedist for proper diagnosis and treatment

Pain in buttock continuously, like irritation, sometime when I sit suddenly pain starts and also pain in poo.
Male | 19
You might be encountering something known as sciatica. The sciatic nerve becomes compressed and causes pain from your lower back down through your buttocks into one or both legs. Sometimes sitting for too long or sudden movements can trigger this. You can try doing some gentle stretches, not sitting down all day, and using heat packs on the area that hurts. If nothing changes after doing these things then it would be best to go see an orthopedic.

Female | 18
Back pain, headache, and anxiety may be the symptoms of some common issues. Sometimes stress and tension can make your body feel like this. Trouble with breathing could also be due to anxiety. Use deep breathing, relaxation techniques, and gentle stretches to your advantage. Besides these, it is also important to drink a lot of water and get plenty of sleep. If the issues continue, talk to an orthopedist for more information.

Muscle distop is genitck My genitck report is - Sir please help me
Male | 22
If your genetic report for muscular dystrophy is negative, its less likely that you have inherited the genetic mutations associated with the disorder. Not all genetic mutations are detected by genetic testing, and other factors like environmental and lifestyle can also contribute to muscle weakness or wasting. Consult an orthopedist for proper diagnosis.

The symptoms you've described, such as strong pain, cracking sounds, and limited movement in your shoulder, could be attributed to various causes like a frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, arthritis, or other conditions.

What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
Male | 23
Your median nerve is a principal nerve in your hand. When squeezed, it brings on carpal tunnel syndrome. That's a condition mostly occurring around the wrist area. Pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand and fingers are symptoms. Exercises and wrist splints can help ease it.

Perhaps your backache is associated with nerve injury. I recommend that you see a neurologist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. They will perform further tests and establish what is causing your pain.

I am dealing with pain, soreness, and stiffness in both my knees mostly in the inside portion after wearing orthotics for a week. I do not have swelling and I think I have full stability. Could I have caused structural damage? Or do I just need a few days of rest now that I removed the orthotics?
Male | 25
Orthotics can affect your knees. Pain, soreness, or stiffness inside your knees without swelling might indicate that orthotics are altering knee movement. It’s unlikely to cause structural damage, but giving your knees a rest can help. If pain persists, consult an orthopedist.

Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem
Female | 25
Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

Knee pain can be happening due to some injury, overuse, arthritis, or other underlying conditions. It would be best for her to consult with an orthopedic specialist or a primary care physician who can evaluate her symptoms perform a physical examination, and potentially order tests to determine the cause of the pain.
