Should I Wear Diapers for Knee Issues While Sleeping?
I have knee issues and when I want to sleep I don't want to get up is it a good idea to wear diapers to bed

Answered on 7th Oct '24
Wearing diapers at night can cause you knee pain, so it's better to avoid it. When you are experiencing knee pain, your mobility is restricted which makes it hard for you to sleep. However, wearing diapers will not help. Knee issues arise either because of injury, arthritis, or muscle strain. To help, use pillows to support your knees while sleeping and also do gentle doctor-recommended exercises to strengthen your knee. Instead of only treating the pain, you should focus on the cause of the knee problem.

Hello doctor My name is Santosh I fall when I'm going to down with stairs first I will no pain but 9 years later my knee has very pain can you give me
Female | 60
You may have done a number on your knee with that accident from when you fell down the stairs nine years ago. You could be feeling the pain of that older wound now. Common symptoms of a knee injury are pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. You can attack the pain by first resting your leg, applying cold, and taking pain medication if needed. If the pain continues, it's best to consult a orthopedist, for examination and treatment.

Waist pain which extends to my thigh
Female | 24
Waist pain that extends to your thigh may be caused by muscle strain due to activities such as bending or lifting, and the nerve problems of sciatica. You may also experience tingling or numbness in your leg. To feel better, try resting, applying ice, and doing gentle stretchings. If it doesn't get better, then it's best to see an orthopedist for more advice.

You should seek immediate medical attention from a professional, orthopedist, or family doctor for an evaluation and diagnosis. Possible causes include muscle strain, injury, structural issues, or medical conditions. Avoid activities that worsen the pain.

Take medicine for leg pain 10 days. After that 3 or 4 days when eat food feeling nausea and fatigue.. don't know after effect medicine or not when eat lunch rice feel fatigue and nausea
Male | 65
If your belly feels upset after taking medicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tiredness can occur due to certain drugs. When you consume lunch and feel ill, your body reacts to the medication. Ensure hydrating well and eating smaller, lighter meals until you feel better.

Back of the feet something
Male | 15
Feeling some pain at the back of your feet can be Achilles tendinitis. Signs are swelling, stiffness, and aching. This happens when too much use or injury causes inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. To relieve the discomfort rest, apply ice packs, and do gentle stretching exercises. Supportive footwear will also help. However, if the pain persists do not hesitate to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.

I am facing severe back pain since few days.
Male | 30
Back pain is discomfort in the back area. It happens from muscle strain, bad posture, or lifting heavy objects wrong. To help, rest, use ice or heat, and gently stretch. If pain continues, try different activities to see what helps. Ask family to help with chores so you can rest and recover.

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.

Diagnosis - Compound grade 3A(L) distalend radius fracture with ulnar shaft fracture with ulnar steyloid fracture After getting wrist surgery left median and left ulnar nurves CMAPs low amplitude response. & Continuous sensenation found between thumb & finger . Thumb movement is not properly. F waves absent
Male | 26
The fact that you cannot move your thumb properly and feel like your thumb and other fingers are being brought together all the time may imply that either the nerves were injured when the accident first occurred or when it was being operated upon. These findings need to be shared with the orthopedist or a neurologist.

Dislocated my shoulder 2 weeks ago snowboarding. All pain is gone and range of motion is fine but I can now slide my shoulder back and forth by pressing with my opposite hand in a way the I can’t in my other shoulder. Thoughts?
Male | 19
I have a feeling that you might have a dislocated shoulder with shoulder instability. However, the fact that your pain is gone is only one of the things to worry about as the slipping of your shoulder back and forth is also alarming. You should see an orthopedic surgeon.

Male | 80
Yes. Of course he can go for knee replacement surgery. For this blood thinner has to be stopped 5 days before and should be replaced with some other medicine and after 5 days surgery can be done very successfully. This surgery is very safe and rewarding.

Its advisable to get proper diagnosis and treatment from an orthopedic. General approaches can be used like medications/ pain relievers or anti inflammatory drugs, physical therapy to improve joint mobility, hot and cold therapy for pain relief etc. Also maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet may also be beneficial.

Sir, I got a small lump under the nail part above my big toe and it’s little paining . I met an orthopedic doctor. He said uric acid may be high. I had a uric acid test done and it was 4.83 mg/dL. If you ask if those values are normal, the doctor says that you should use Febumin-80 tablet. I don't understand anything. Please tell me what should I do. Can you please explain my situation to me. Thank you
Male | 32
Gout happens when uric acid builds up. It can cause pain, swelling, and redness. Your uric acid level is slightly high at 4.83 mg/dL. The doctor prescribed Febumin-80 tablets to lower it. Follow their advice closely. Watch what you eat to manage gout.

I am a 50 year old diabetic with rheumatoid arthritis. I have had a numb feeling that also feels like a cramp causing severe pain down my right side, starting at the base of my spine, down the back of my right leg, all the way down to my foot. Help please.
Female | 50
Your symptoms are quite similar to those of sciatica. Sciatica pains are a form of irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is often responsible for the feeling. Physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary. It's important to consult a specialist, like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance tailored to your condition.

I have an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my left and right leg, and two on the small toes of the left leg. Four in total. I have three questions regarding the same: 1) Will all four toes be operated on the same day? 2) Will it be done under General Anaesthesia? 3) Can I resume a Work from Home job two days after the surgery?I appreciate your time and response. Thank you.
Male | 24
Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.
