Why Do I Have Low Back Pain For 16 Days?

I have low back pain for 16 days now. It started mild at first – first seven days and it hurt when I sit down. When I stood, pain almost completely went away or when I lay down. Later, I had spasms in my back for a couple of days and I wasn't mobile for a while. Now I'm but I feel dull ache in the lower back. When I bend over, I need to be careful. Pain is localized and it's not radiating. I don't have any other symptoms.

Back pain is often caused by muscle strain. It occurs when muscles are overstretched by heavy lifting or quick movements. If bending over hurts, that likely indicates a strained muscle. To ease the discomfort, apply ice packs and do gentle stretching exercises. However, avoid any strenuous activities that strain your back further. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

How to get rid of knee crepitus

Male | 36

Knee crepitus can be from multiple causes. Painless crepitus can be ignored. So, I won't advice for crepitus knee treatment as such.. Crepitus from knee cap problems can be cured with hip and knee strengthening. Crepitus from cartilage irregularities or loose pieces often need minor keyhole surgery. Painful crepitus from arthritis is initially treated with physical therapy and surgery when therapy stops helping.

I am 50 year old female. I have pain in my heel since last 3 months. After visiting a orthopaedic doctor, I found out that my uric acid was slightly over the limit. Doc said it’s elevated because of consumption of whey protein(for very short duration I had). I consumed prescribed medications for few weeks but could not continue with the course as it was very heavy medication. The heel pains when I get up to walk and takes a few minutes for it to subside. Please advise

You might be suffering from plantar fasciitis, a situation where the tissue that links your heel to your toes gets inflamed. In some situations, high uric acid levels may be a contributing factor to such pain. The discomfort is worse in the morning when you start walking out of bed. Stretch your calf and foot muscles and wear shoes that provide proper support. In addition, users can also use ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers as possible remedies. However, if the pain still does not go away, it is best to go back to an orthopedist for an updated diagnosis.

How should I resume physical activities 4 months after Achilles tendon surgery

Male | 41

After 4 months of Achilles tendon surgery, you can return to physical activities only with the consent of your orthopedic surgeon. You might have to begin with mild exercises and slowly intensify your exercise. Wear appropriate shoes, and always warm up before the exercise. A physiotherapist should be consulted for a smooth and successful recovery.

Female | 22

Based on your symptoms, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist. Persistent joint pain, sounds, and discomfort spreading to multiple areas could indicate several conditions, including vitamin D deficiency or other bone/joint disorders. It’s crucial to have a thorough evaluation by a specialist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment. Please visit an orthopedic specialist or rheumatologist for a detailed assessment and proper management of your condition.

You must consult an orthopedist if its a serious knee injury. if not you can try home treatment. Apply ice, take good rest, compression to reduce swelling, and take pain killers as prescribed by your doctor.

For over a year now I have had something that sicks out at the bottom of my ribcage on the left. It fells like the end of a rib sticking out and hurts when being pushed on. I did lose quite a lot of weight a year and a half ago and it's ever since then that I have noticed it. It is visibly sticking out when I am just standing normally.

You might have costochondritis. This is when the cartilage in your ribs gets inflamed, which usually causes pain and tenderness. It may be related to weight loss and sometimes comes on after an illness. To help relieve the pain, you can do some gentle stretching, use heat packs, or take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen.

I suggest that you see your orthopedic surgeon right away. Lachman is the presence of a failed surgery or weak muscles. Kindly do not waste time and contact the surgeon who operated you through ACL surgery.
