Possible pulled muscle from cough causing chest & back pain
I have pain in the middle of my chest and upper back in between my shoulder blades. What could this be from? I’ve had a bad cough over the last few days so I was told possibly a pulled muscle?

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.

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.

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.

I have sever hip pain left side
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.

I think i have pectus excavatum i have a 2.6-2.7 cm concave chest i do not have problem in breathing but i think it might cause problem in future
Male | 17
Pectus excavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens because of how your ribs and breastbone develop. Although breathing troubles can happen, you said you're okay there, which is good. To keep an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. They can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.

Having suffered a fractured big toe and fractured third toe the pain is unbelievable and the consultant says because it is not pussing there is nothing he is prepared to do with it and he won't and is not prepared to organise a theatre team so basically I must live with it the pain is unbelievable it wakes me up and I can't wake or stand properly can anyone advise
Male | 60
Fractures of the toes are known to hurt a lot. The pain, swelling, bruising, and trouble walking are common symptoms. Rest and time are usually the only things required for a fracture to heal. But if you have excruciating pain and can't stand up, you must visit another orthopedist. A person diagnosed with chronic pain may be offered pain relief, alternative medicines, and tests for injuries to guarantee appropriate treatment and pain relief.

You mentioned pain in your right forearm for a month. That's an annoying problem. There might be multiple causes - maybe overusing your arm or a strained muscle. Resting, icing the area, and gentle stretching may provide relief. However, if the discomfort persists, consulting a orthopedist would be wise.

The causes might include poor posture, stress, or even slowing down physically. In some cases, it could result from an injury. To help relieve the pain, try light neck exercises, use a supportive pillow, and take regular breaks when using devices. Managing stress with relaxation techniques can also be helpful. If the pain persists, consult an orthopedist for further advice.
