It appears that you have strained your ankle. Rest, ice, compression and elevation can ease pain and swelling. Don't put pressure on your foot and check out an orthopedic specialist for evaluation and treatment.

Im a 17 yo im male my hand hurts so much when i touch a precised place in it i can actually see the bone our comparing to the other hand. Thanks

Male | 17

It looks like you may have broken your hand. A specific point may be very tender and the area can appear different from the other side. It is crucial to have an orthopedist look at this. They will confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment which may involve putting on a cast or splint so that the bone can heal properly. Make sure that it is checked as soon as possible so you can begin the recovery process.

I'm having difficulty walking because of an incident from my childhood, when I was 10. I don't remember much but when I was 10, I was climbing on a window while playing. Suddenly, pain shot up my spine. Maybe I was hanging there for 15 minutes, and a nerve got compressed. Something I figured out now after growing up. When I climbed down from the window, I couldn't walk properly; I was limping. We went to a doctor, he took an X-ray but couldn't find the problem. I couldn't get proper treatment. I remember I used to go to school with difficulty until 10th grade. Then, after my board exams, we went to a doctor again because the weakness had increased. Again, the doctor couldn't understand the problem. He referred me to Chandigarh. But before that, he gave me injections every week, I think they were for weak bones and nerves. I remember he said my nerves and bones were very weak. It was a temporary treatment. He said the effect of these injections would last for 7-8 years. After the injections, I could walk again like normal people. I just couldn't jump, but everything else went back to how it was before. But the effect only lasted for 3-4 years. I was 16 when I had the injections, and around 19-20 the problem started again. Actually, my mom got ill, she had surgery, and I used to help her with chores, and it started affecting my back. I remember whenever I used to do any work, my back would hurt so much. And again, slowly, I couldn't walk. Year by year, my body became weaker, and now I am completely bedridden; I can't even stand on my own. Because I'm confined to my room, I became depressed, and I started having anxiety issues. Sometimes I fear I might become paralyzed. So, I think the problem started with nerve compression in my back. I just want to know, will I be fine? What exactly is my problem? What should I do?

My feet are in pain 4 weeks

Male | 22

Experiencing discomfort in your feet for weeks may have been caused by the fact that your feet were subjected to different amounts of pressure, you were wearing uncomfortable shoes, and you may have some grave diseases such as plantar fasciitis or arthritis. Common symptoms include aching, swelling, or stiffness. To alleviate discomfort, try resting your feet, applying ice packs, and elevating your legs. Well-made shoes can make a big difference.

I hurted myself on knees so since 4 hrs it's paining but there is no swelling so should I visit Dr or it will be fine after weeks

Male | 22

Even without swelling, pain can happen due to injury or overuse. Rest your knee, ice it, and elevate it. If the pain doesn't improve in two days, seeing a doctor is wise. Many potential causes exist for knee pain without swelling. Resting, icing, and elevating are good first steps. If the pain persists, seek medical attention.

Good morning. I was doing high jump in a school,and my leg ankle removed and got my leg a little short. Can it be resolved be straighten it and make it balanced with the other one

Male | 34

You seem to have dislocated your ankle, which can give your leg a longer impression. Such occurrences are observed when the bones in your ankle are misplaced. To correct this, you should go to an orthopedist who can put the bones back into the right place. A splint or a brace may be used by them to enable your ankle to recover properly. Adhering to their recommendations is critical if you want your leg to be straightened and aligned with your other leg. Rest, elevate your leg, and stay away from putting weight on it until you see a doctor.
