You might have had a pneumothorax, which happens when air gets into the space between your lung and chest wall. This can occur with a sudden chest injury or the rupture of a tiny air sac. The swelling in your armpit could be connected to this. To receive appropriate care which may include releasing pressurized air by draining it out to facilitate lung expansion.

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.

If my toe is purple does that mean it's broke
Female | 29
Sometimes a purple toe might indicate that it's broken. Other symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, and failure of the toe to move. A few of the reasons your toe may be hurting is you dropped something heavy on it or hit it hard. To make it easier, rest your toe, apply ice, elevate it, and take pain medicine. If the pain is strong, you should contact an orthopedist.

I am 18 year old Girl suffering from lower back pain for 3 years My latest MRI report says i have slip disk problem the medicine i am taking is working as painkillers only the pain is insufferable... Its will be good to know your thoughts on my condition.
Female | 18
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Slip disc can cause severe discomfort, and painkillers only provide temporary relief. It's important to consult an orthopedic doctor or a spine specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper treatment plan. They can guide you on exercises, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to manage your condition effectively.

My mother is 55 years old. A little obesity. She got her surgery for Haglund deformity causing Achilles tendonitis. After two weeks the suture was removed. Till that time she was on antibiotics and antimicrobial treatment alongwith calcium and pain killer. But now it's been 3-4 weeks post surgery . The post surgical site is black and I don't feel like it's healing. What to do?
Female | 55
It is recommended to go to the orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation and get the area examined. The black color could mean an infection or poor healing. It is necessary to have it diagnosed to take the treatment appropriately.

Hello, I am writing from Iran and because my English is not good, I have to use translation I have L1, L2, and L3 lumbar disc that presses on the nerve of the left leg, which causes pain exactly in the axillary area facing the outside of the thigh and the middle of the thigh, and after 60 sessions of physical therapy, I still have the same pain. Actually, my pain goes away with electrical devices, but it keeps coming back

If the Lumbar disc issues are causing nerve compression, consult an orthopedic specialist or neurologist, for a comprehensive assessment and to discuss further treatment options, which might include therapies, medications, or surgery based on their evaluation.

Left thumb facture due to accident
Male | 30
Your left thumb is hurt. You feel pain, and swelling, it's bruised, and you can't move it well. A fall or hit caused your thumb to break. Don't use your thumb. Put ice on it to reduce the swelling. See an orthopedist for an X-ray. They'll check how bad the fracture is. The doctor may put a splint or cast on your thumb to help it heal correctly.

Back pain and 1 leg ???? infection
Female | 58
One leg infection and back pain are two things that should not be taken lightly. There could be many causes for the back pain, and it could be a muscular problem. An infection in the leg presents with redness, warmth, and pain in the infected area. If left untreated, this type of infection may spread to other parts of the body causing more serious problems. It is important to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.

Im a 25 years old female and i ma experience upper back pain and heel pain for almost 2 weeks. Also its been some days i have a pain around right breast.
Female | 25
The pain in your upper back might be from sitting too long or having bad posture; the heel is probably hurting because you’re wearing shoes that don’t fit well. The right breast also hurts sometimes if you’ve pulled a muscle or it’s inflamed. Take some time off and use ice packs or heating pads if necessary. None of these things help though, then get checked by an orthopedist.
