Shoulder Blade Pain Relief: Herniated Disc Surgery Explanation
I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.

If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

What causes muscle pain in my arms, thighs, legs and fingers that comes and goes and the pain becomes worse while resting, scouting, stretching, walk and in the morning when I wake up
Female | 25
Muscle pain can strike occasionally, worsening with rest, movement, or stretching. Morning stiffness signals inflammation. Excessive activity without proper rest is the usual culprit. To find relief, allow muscles to recover, gently stretch, and apply ice or heat therapy. However, if discomfort persists, consulting an orthopedist becomes necessary for further evaluation.

Headache, Dizziness, muscle pain, and weakness can be caused by different factors that can include dehydration, lack of sleep, and stress. Ensure you are hydrated properly, resting, and managing your stress levels. Nevertheless, it is better to visit an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Hello. Please I had a mid shaft humerus fracture in my left arm about two weeks ago. A cast was made on it, but I have been having shake feeling/ swing feeling in the fracture spot lately. I want to know if that feeling is normal and when the feeling stop. Thank you
Male | 20
If your arm is broken, it may feel wobbly or loose at the site of the fracture. This sensation occurs because the bones are mending themselves and trying to realign. Such feelings can last for several weeks. Ensure that you raise your arm above the level of your heart and refrain from putting any weight on it. In case this feeling doesn’t improve or becomes worse, let your orthopedist know.

I have a small tumor in my bicep its nit painful but when i touch it it ache a little is it serious?
Male | 18
Unlike lumps that result from injury, there are cancerous lumps that will go away without treatment. If the tumor is not sore and only hurts when pressed, it could be a benign growth. However, you should seek medical attention for this.

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 am 35 years old ,I be feeling pains in tissue around my neck, my shoulder , my arms and my back and it causes constipation and difficulty to breathe for me
Male | 35
These symptoms could be due to a condition called fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia causes the pain to be distributed all over the body, apart from other symptoms like constipation and difficulty in breathing. It's essential to see an orthopedist to discuss your symptoms and get the right treatment to help manage the pain and discomfort.

I have pain since last few weeks in left arm shoulder or hip.
Female | 23
The pain can have various potential causes. These may include muscular strain or injury, joint problems such as arthritis or bursitis, nerve impingement, tendonitis, or, in some cases, heart related issues. Consult an orthopedic or general physician as they can conduct a physical examination and order any necessary tests or imaging to help determine the underlying cause of your pain.

Male | 26
You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.

Hey, what I’d like to check is what the implications are that I seem to have symptoms developing after having the first vaccine. The bite mark has swelled and is itchy/prickly. The muscles in the affected leg feel tired and heavy. Might be totally unrelated but I woke up today with the hamstring in the other leg feeling pulled, I don’t think I was doing anything that would pull it. Facts are - I was lightly bitten by a wild dog on the evening of the 15th. By noon of the 16th I had the vaccine (Rabivax-S). Since then the symptoms above have appeared around the bite mark.
Female | 25
Swelling and itching near the bite, tired legs, and muscle heaviness are likely due to the dog bite and the vaccine. Your body might be overreacting to the vaccine. The hamstring pain in the other leg may not be related to the bite or vaccine. Use cold compresses and OTC antihistamines for itching and pain. Rest your legs and avoid physical activity to ease fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Ensure rabies prevention by following your doctor’s advice.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/
Female | 21
You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

Female | 20
This is a situation where the discs that act as cushions to separate the spinal bones slip out of position and eventually start compressing the neighboring nerve roots. This condition could cause pain in the back as well as difficulty in sitting or bending. Some measures like soft movements of the body, hot and cold compresses, or physical therapy may be helpful. If these treatments do not work, you can consult an orthopedist for further treatments.

What is the best treatment for degenerative disc disease
Degenerative disc disease is a common age related low back problem. It can be a significant cause of low back pain. The best treatment for it is non-operative. Back strengthening to stabilize the spine and application of topical pain measures should be tried first.

You may have a problem with your cervical vertebrae, leading to a sore and stiff neck. This could be due to sitting in the wrong position for long hours, muscle strain, or stress. You might feel stiffness, and discomfort, or have trouble moving your neck. Try doing some gentle neck exercises, applying heat or cold, and maintaining good posture. If the discomfort continues, visit an orthopedist for further advice.
