I have had a sharp, stabbing pain in my knee that comes every few months for the past few years. Could this be serious?

Stabbing pain in the knee can be due to many reasons. It could be ligament or meniscus injuries to inflammation or other medical conditions. Get it examined with an orthopedic for proper evaluation and treatment if required.

Why my hip/acetabulum hurts?
Hip pain can have causes that aren't due to underlying disease. Examples include trauma, lying on a side for a prolonged period, overuse, muscle stiffness, sitting in an awkward position, sprains or strains. For treatment you need to visit orthopedist who will analyze the problem and prescribe the medicine for relief.

I'm 27years old male and have knee pain (ACL ) for the last 3 years. I have used medicine ,pain killers ,phototherapy but they haven't got relief .what should I do know???
Male | 27
ACL refers to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, a common injury in the knee. The symptoms are pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee. The main reason is mostly sports injuries or accidents. As medicines and phototherapy were not useful, go to an orthopedic specialist for more tests. Other treatments like physical therapy or surgery might also be necessary.

I'm a 37 year old male suffering with post-axial polydactyly. My last two bones on my right hand are fused and my muscles are thin. And I have is medicaid. So what can I do to treat it affordably?
Male | 37
I would advise consulting with an orthopedic surgeon focusing on hand surgery. Delaying the care seeking should be avoided and even more so when Medicaid can reimburse treatment costs.

Female | 30
Aapko hips par gath aane ke symptoms ho sakte hain, jaise sujan, dard, ya chalne me pareshani. Ye aise factors se ho sakta hai jaise muscle strain, bursitis, ya arthritis. Sabse pehle, aapko is shetra ko rest dena chahiye aur zyada stress nahi dalna chahiye. Ice pack lagana bhi madadgar hoga. Agar dard zyada ho ya symptoms badhte hain, toh kisi orthopedist se milna zaroori hai. Wo proper diagnosis karke aapke liye best treatment suggest kar sakte hain.

I fell on my wrist 6 months ago and still have pain when I put pressure on it and after physical activity, the pain is located on the pinky side of the hand and there is a clicking noise when I twist my wrist.
Female | 24
Considering your symptoms, you may have a wrist sprain or ligament injury. It is recommended to see an Orthopedic doctor in order to get a correct diagnosis and treatment. The specialist will conduct a physical examination and may suggest imaging tests to establish the severity of injury. Procrastination in treatment can cause chronic problems.

It will not do you any good to stick pain relief gel/medication to the ankle for persistent pain. A qualified orthopedic specialist should diagnose and treat you adequately.

How To Decrease Leg Pain
Male | 26
Leg discomfort can arise from various factors such as muscle strain, injury, or circulation issues. You might notice symptoms like aching, stiffness, or swelling. To alleviate this, consider gentle stretching, elevating your legs, and applying ice to reduce inflammation. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also provide relief. Staying active with low-impact exercises like walking or swimming may improve strength and circulation. If discomfort persists or worsens, please consult an orthopedist to rule out any underlying conditions.

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.

My father is diabetic and takes insulin every day. For the past few months, he has been unable to walk for more than a few minutes. He has no problem standing for long while traveling in buses or walking up and down stairs. He has no knee pain but feels cramps in his calf muscles whenever he starts walking for more than 2 minutes. Around 3 years ago, he also lost a lot of weight and has never gained it back. He is 5.7ft and weighs less than 50 kgs. Is an orthopedic the right specialist to visit for treatment? What could be the causes behind his symptoms and how can they be treated? Does he need physiotherapy?
Male | 57
Your dad's walking problems and leg pains could signal restricted blood flow. This condition, peripheral artery disease, makes walking hard. Your dad losing weight and unable to walk well is worrying. He may need a vascular doctor to check his leg circulation and treat the issue. Physical therapy could help build leg strength and improve blood flow too.

My back is tight and it keeps pulsating. If I try to sleep with my back facing the pillow I get these tightness
Male | 28
Tightness and pulsation in your back can stem from muscle strain, stress, or poor posture during sleep. This discomfort may intensify when resting on your back, as certain positions can strain your muscles. To alleviate these symptoms, consider gentle stretching, using a supportive mattress, and practicing relaxation techniques. Heat therapy may also help soothe tension. If the issue persists or worsens, I recommend seeking guidance from an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan. Your well-being is important, and getting expert advice can be beneficial.

For joint pain, especially with rheumatoid arthritis, it's important to consult a rheumatologist. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help with the pain temporarily, but seeing an orthopedic specialist will give you the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

I have an ingrown nail in the feet. Now i geel my feet weird and my leg like a tendon ahs been pulled
Female | 44
This occurs when the nail’s edge grows into the skin, resulting in pain and redness. If left untended, an infection can develop. Your strange foot feelings and the pulled-tendon-like sensation in your leg could both be tied to this condition. To help reduce discomfort, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently massage the area. However, if the pain continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to seek help from an orthopedist.

I have a blister on reagion near coxal bone along with pain in bone or muscle
Female | 19
A blister formed close to your hip bone. It hurts in the bone or muscle region. Rubbing or pressure led to the blister. Inflammation caused bone/muscle pain. Keep it clean, use a bandage to prevent rubbing, and let it heal naturally. If no improvement, consult an orthopedist.

I am a 17 year old female with a diagnosis of bertalottis syndrome which I take co-codamol 8/500 and an anti inflammatory for. For about 2 years I've been experiencing chronic pain in my wrists, knees, ankles and elbows. The pain is usually about a 3/4 usually and its an achey/strong pain but it often gets more intense like a flare up where it can go from a 6-10 where I am unable to move the affected body part.
Female | 17
You may face issues linked to Bertolotti's syndrome. Dealing with ongoing pain in various joints is not unusual with this condition. The achy, intense ache you describe, coupled with flare-ups, is a frequent symptom. Collaborating closely with an orthopedist to investigate diverse treatment choices that could enhance symptom management remains crucial. Exercising and physical therapy may prove advantageous too.

I’m 20 year old male. I’m feeling pain in only a single spine while stretching and while bending my neck too much. The pain in the spine that is between the scapula. The pain in not radiating or spreading. It is only on that single spine
Male | 20
It sounds like there might be a sore muscle in your spine between your shoulder blades. It can result from overexertion or bad posture. The symptoms are pain when you stretch or bend your neck. To help, try mild stretching, use a heating pad, and take the prescribed pain relievers. In case the pain remains or the situation gets worse, consult an orthopedist who will examine you further.

What is the process for hip surgery including recovery plan with prices
Female | 60
Hip surgery often addresses conditions like arthritis or fractures, causing pain and limiting movement. The procedure involves repairing or replacing damaged joints. Post-surgery, recovery varies but generally includes physical therapy to regain strength and mobility, typically taking several weeks to months. Costs can differ widely, ranging from $20,000 to $60,000, depending on various factors. It’s important to have realistic expectations and follow your surgeon’s advice closely. I encourage you to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with a orthopedist to ensure the best care tailored for you.
