Sometimes, coughing causes muscle strain. A lot of coughing makes chest and back muscles work hard. This can hurt those areas. To help with the pain, try using heat and taking medicine. Rest and avoid things making the pain worse. However, if the pain continues or gets worse, talk to an orthopedist.

Male | 15

It is concerning that your knee has been swollen for 4 years. This could be due to an untreated injury or another underlying issue like joint damage. I strongly recommend that you visit an orthopedic specialist, who can examine your knee properly and suggest the right treatment to reduce the swelling and prevent further complications.

Hi good morning sir, I daughter is suffering knee swelling & skin redness issue since yesterday. Fever also getting. Can you please suggest this and advance root cause of issue?

Female | 17 months

This could be your daughter's knee infection. If a knee has swollen up, become red and warm to touch, and there is a fever, it could be a sign of infection. This may be due to bacteria that enter the knee joint. She needs to see an orthopedist without delay. Infections can be vitally important and require the right treatment with antibiotics.

I am 19 years old, female. I have been suffering from a clicking sound on my right side jaw for last 5 days. And also I am having problem to open my mouth widely. Is this tmj problem? And what should I do now? Please help sir

Female | 19

You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.

Female | 55

Bicolumnar plating with 1 Herbert screw and 1 interfragmentary is a definitive management for distal humerus fracture. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the stability of the plate may depend on factors like patient’s age and activity level along with bone quality. Consulting an orthopedic specialist for a follow-up evaluation and postoperative treatment is advised.

Now after I opened my finger supporter i am having pain in my fracture area a normal pain but in my school something hit it and now it is paining little bit sharper and now 2 days done without the supporter.

Male | 15

It is common to feel more pain if you have been without a supporter for some days. It is necessary to let your finger sit still for a while and then you can apply the cold pack to the injured area to decrease any swelling. If the pain persists or worsens, you should consult an orthopedist.

Why does my achilles tendon hurt after running?

Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.

The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

Iam 21 years old male backache for 2 months and some health issues that I don't understand what should I do?

Male | 21

Back injury's roots can be different, due to incorrect body posture, overworked muscles, or stress. Any other signs you may have, including numbness or tingling in your legs, are equally important to listen to. Attempting to correct your posture, and undertake light stretching exercises, and hot or cold packs may also be beneficial for pain relief. When the pain does not diminish, it is advisable to consult an orthopedist for a second opinion and treatment.

I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?

Female | 17

You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

Female | 50

Your left hip hurts badly, possibly due to injury, arthritis, bursitis, or overworking the muscles. Rest your hip, ice it if it's swollen, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

I am having really bad pain in my left foot my left foot is swollen and my right foot is not swollen a little bit of fluid is coming out of my left foot and it's red and I am not able to find a doctor to help me I'm almost to the point where I want to cut my own foot off I am sick and tired of having constant pain I've been having this pain for more than a year

Female | 40

Your left foot is causing problems. There's swelling, pain, and redness. Fluid build up too. An infection could be the issue. Or an injury perhaps. Maybe even gout. The inflammation symptoms are worrying. You need help quickly. Antibiotics might help if infected. Pain medication would ease discomfort. Draining fluid may be needed too.
