Why is my cousin's arm abnormally big and irregular?
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.

Having knee pain 10 yrs post surgery the bone is hurting what could it be and what treatment
Female | 78
Knee discomfort a decade after surgery could stem from various factors, such as arthritis, post-surgical changes, or soft tissue issues. Symptoms like aching, stiffness, or swelling may indicate underlying problems. It's essential to consult a orthopedist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plan. Options may include physical therapy, pain management strategies, or, in some cases, minimally invasive procedures. Focus on gentle exercises to enhance mobility and strengthen the supporting muscles.

I have been having joint pain in my legs for the past 5-6 years, but it is getting worse now. Uric acid in my blood test. It gradually gets better after taking painkillers. I was taking Fabusin 40 once for a month. It happened again after three months. What can be done? My body is itching more or less at night.
Male | 50
It's understandable to be concerned about your worsening leg discomfort that has persisted for several years. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to conditions like gout, which may contribute to joint pain. It’s good that pain relief is achieved with medications. Consider discussing with an orthopedist about adjusting your treatment, possibly re-evaluating medications like Fabusin, and exploring lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments to lower uric acid. The itching at night may require further investigation. Regular check-ups are essential for appropriate management.

Hello Doctor, My joints and bones are paining and my leg is swelling that's why I have muscle weakness and so less immunity. I'm working and my job is sitting in the chair the whole day, please tell me what to do?
Female | 22
Muscles would be weakened consequently and immunity to illnesses would be lowered. Set a timer for an hour on your phone and get up to walk or stand each time it goes off. Move them and pump your muscles for better circulation. One of the tips to deal with swelling is to raise your legs while sitting. Besides that have healthy food and drink a lot of water.

Complete tear of supraspinatus tendon noted from its insertion site with torn retracted end noted at the level of acromioclavicular joint. Mild atrophy of supraspinatus muscle. Complete tear of infraspinatus tendon noted from its insertion site with torn retracted end noted just proximal to coracoid. Mild atrophy of infraspinatus muscle. The infraspinatus muscle appears edematous at places. Diffuse tendinosis with high grade partial tear of subscapularis tendon at its insertion site.

Mild shoulder joint effusion with fluid in subdeltoid and subacromial bursa. Do this need surgery
Female | 48
Your shoulder has multiple problems causing pain and limiting movement. You have torn tendons, muscle weakness, and joint issues. Surgery may repair the torn tendons and reduce joint arthritis. That could relieve symptoms and improve function. Visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

My child spine bend in born.it will cure by belt/
Male | 12
Your child could have congenital scoliosis - a curved spine. This happens due to abnormal growth before birth. Symptoms are uneven shoulders, or hips. In some cases, a brace helps. But surgery may be needed if the curve is severe. Make sure to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They'll discuss the best treatment options for your child's spine.

Bones are damage and have pain in back and spondylitis too
Female | 45
It sounds like you’re experiencing discomfort due to damage in your bones and inflammation in your spine. Common symptoms include stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. These issues may arise from factors like wear and tear, autoimmune diseases, or previous injuries. To alleviate discomfort, gentle stretches, proper posture, and heat therapy can be beneficial. Over-the-counter pain relief may also help. However, it’s crucial to consult a orthopedist to identify the underlying causes and receive personalized treatment options.

I am having back and pain lain today mere yeh pain hota ha kbhi kbhi par bahut zda hota hai like sahan ni hotaa ab bhi hora hai mai kaise band kru isee
Male | 20
Such pain may happen due to incorrect posture, misuse of heavy objects lifting, or sitting in one place for a long time. You can try some gentle stretches, ice or heat packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary to alleviate the pain. Don't forget to take breaks and move your body to prevent stiffness. But if the pain doesn't diminish or worsen, getting further guidance from an orthopedist is prudent.

I am 29 years old female suffering from swelling and pain in ankle and toes irregular periods till 4 months severe hairfall and sometimes headache and lazyness
Female | 29
The swelling and pain of the ankle and toes can be due to some joint-related or circulation-related problem. Irregular periods can be caused by imbalances of hormones. Severe hair fall can be caused by stress or lack of nutrition. Headaches and laziness could be signs of different types of problems. It's necessary to have an orthopedist make the right diagnosis and provide the correct treatment.

Hey! Little backstory of me. I had diagnosed DVT 4 months ago. So I am still using anticoagulants. DVT cause was covid and it started on left calf. Now, few days ago I woke up and suddenly felt pain in my left foot. To be precise, on the ball of foot. No swelling or color changes. And no jumping or running or long days on foot. Just a pain. I can’t stand and put pressure on this foot. But, if I try to walk a little, the pain gets milder. It won’t completely go away, but I can manage it. First question is, can I get blood clot on bottom of my foot? Secondly, I tried to research and got no real answers, so maybe you could take a guess. Age 29, weight 80kg.
Male | 29
Yes, getting a blood clot in the small vessels of your foot is something that can happen, but it is rare. The pain that you have may be nerve problems or strain. Be observant of it and if it does not go away or worsens, do not hesitate to contact an orthopedist for a check-up to be on the safe side.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis
Female | 49
Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

I have knee issues and wanted to know when I want to go to bed if wearing diapers is a good idea or not
Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

Hey I’m getting a weird feeling in my right foot it comes a goes but it feels like a pulse movement it feels weird I’m not sure what it is
Female | 24
You might be feeling a throbbing sensation in your right foot. The constriction of blood vessels or the poor circulation of that area can be the cause. In rare instances, stress, anxiety, or the overconsumption of caffeine, may lead to the same feeling. Walk around and try to keep your foot upright for a while. Talking to an orthopedist is advisable if the feeling persists or gets worse.

I am 16 years old and my left knee joint is paining from yesterday night and I haved X ray the joint can you check my x ray and tell me what is the problem
Male | 16
The knee joint has a little swelling. This swelling could happen due to an injury, for instance, a sprain or strain, or perhaps an overuse. The pain you are suffering from is the common symptom of this inflammation. To aid your condition, I suggest you rest your knee, apply ice, and do easy workouts to develop the muscles around your knee. If the pain remains, you may have to visit an orthopedist to make sure everything is fine.
