The challenge posed by a stiff elbow following an injury can be daunting, particularly when physical therapy fails to yield substantial improvements. A pinched nerve sometimes occurs, which is hard to admit. If your arm is still hurting and you want to find a solution, a neurologist is one of the doctors who could offer the right advice in addition to your treatment plan. They can view the problem and also find an effective way to release your tension.

I have had patellar tendon repair surgery 3 weeks ago . I am now experiencing a burning sensation and tenderness does this mean the tendon has retorn or is this normal
Female | 26
It is a common issue among patients after the patellar tendon repair to have to deal with a burning sensation and tenderness. This may inflammation or irritation in the specific area of the operation as it is healing. These signs are normally a part of the healing process and are not the right indication of the recurrence of the tendon. To relieve the pain, you can wrap your leg with an elastic bandage and put it on the top of the pillows. Strictly follow your post-op care instructions and attend the follow-up appointments to let your doctor track your recovery.

What can I do about my friend Billie Jo gibbons her hip is killing her
Female | 24
Many factors can trigger hip soreness - arthritis or injuries, for instance. If her hip aches, she must take rest, apply ice packs to lessen the swelling, and consume over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the discomfort persists, consulting an orthopedist for examination and treatment might be necessary.

I have neck pain almost past 1 year
Male | 45
The causes might include poor posture, stress, or even slowing down physically. In some cases, it could result from an injury. To help relieve the pain, try light neck exercises, use a supportive pillow, and take regular breaks when using devices. Managing stress with relaxation techniques can also be helpful. If the pain persists, consult an orthopedist for further advice.

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.

Recently i am facing joint pain, specially knee pain. cannot sleep more than 5 hours. after waking up from bed too much of back pain, i am taking calcium medicine and vitamin D3 but still the same problem
Female | 43
Arthritis afflicts joints, causing swelling and soreness. Your knee pain, trouble sleeping, and back ache indicate this condition. Gentle exercises like swimming or walking can strengthen muscles, complementing calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. Consulting an orthopedist about physical therapy or pain medication may provide additional relief. With proper treatment, managing arthritis symptoms becomes more manageable.

Hello Doctors!! I'm 24 years old unintentionally found my bone mineral density score is -2.09 in a office health camp. After reading on internet I'm getting panic. 1. Is this condition (osteopenia) common in a person of my age? 2. Can I get back to normal score? 3. Can I reverse by using vitamin and mineral supplements? Thanks in advance ????????
Male | 24
Anyone at any age can have Osteopenia. So you’re not alone. Catching it early is wise. Eat foods with calcium, get vitamin D from the sun, and do some walking or other weight-bearing exercises so you can pick up your score. Consider taking supplements if there’s a lack of them in your body, but always consult an orthopedist first.

I'm a 18 year old female and I've been having cramps in my left hand, mainly from elbow under to wrist and my fingers feel kind of stiff. It happened for the first time 3/4 days ago and went away automatically in about 20 mins. It happened twice today and again went on it's own. Nothing done to trigger it. A bit of neck pain. Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache. I can't call it painful as it does not cause pain but a bit uncomfortable.

I have my elbow fracture surgery 30 moneths ago there is plate and wire in it should i remove them or stay it forever because the elbow will nkt extend 1
Male | 21
It is common to be concerned about the plate and wire in your elbow after a fracture surgery. They can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable or limit your range of motion. If this is your stage, the best point-to-point conversation with an orthopedist who can examine the health situation is required. Removal of the bone plate and wire may be the dislodging of the most harm there is if the doctor were to intervene and help you attain maximum elasticity in the hand.

Knee pain while climbing stairs other than there is no pain in knee I don't use any medications also don't have my past injury....I felt pain for past 4 days while climbing stairs only ..... My weight 75 kg height 160 cm
Female | 33
This may occur when there is a sudden increase in physical activity which puts stress on these joints. Rest the knee, put some ice on it, and avoid anything that makes the pain worse for a few days. If the pain continues after this time then I would advise speaking with an orthopedist.

Sir I am 23 I have grade 2 acl tear, sir its already been 3 months now sir pls guide me on how can I heal my ACL tear naturally, should I go for prp or stem cell therapy?
Male | 23
When you have an ACL tear, it is because the ligament in your knee is overextended. In addition to resting and doing some light exercises, you should ice your knee. Although PRP or stem cell therapy could be useful for a speedy recovery, consulting with your healthcare provider on these treatments is the best way to determine the optimal care for your case.

Female | 28
It's common to have slight asymmetries between body sides. Muscle development or alignment can sometimes cause this. Since it's not painful, it's likely not concerning. However, if you experience new symptoms or changes, visit an orthopedist.
