Why Am I Experiencing Sharp Shooting Pain Right Side?
I m getting sharp shooting pain in right side..
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 6th June '24
It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

Now almost 2week are done without wearing supporter. Earlier I was wearing the supporter for one month .now also I am having pain in fracture area and there is no swelling left but while bending the fractured joint area in my small finger the pain is happening.i can't lift heavy things with my finger .
Male | 15
Make sure to allow your finger to rest and recover the way it is supposed to. For starters, you don't want to pressure it too much and keep on being delicate with it. If the pain continues, consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment.

I have a problem with my lower waist for years now
Male | 18
Back pain comes and goes. But hurting for years is very bad. It might mean you have muscles that are tight or weak. Poor posture or not exercising can cause this problem. Also, sit and stand up straight. Going to a physical therapist can give you exercises to make it better.

Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with back pain, I've been to doctors loads of times for the past 7-8 months but all they been telling me is to take pain killers and exercise, ive had a MRI scan which showed L5-S1 left subarticular disc protrusion and L4-5 facet joint arthropathies is that right for them to keep telling me to exercise?
Male | 22
The MRI scan reveals a disc disorder, along with an ache from the facet joint. Workouts can make your muscles healthier and render them more flexible, which is very helpful when managing the pain. You really must stick to the exercise plan of the physiotherapist without fail to reduce the damage caused. Painkillers are one way of pain relief, but the long-term solution comes from exercise, and maybe a few more such treatments like physical therapy depending on the severity of the problem.

My father is extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement
Male | 78
YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..

Painful thumb nail of leg pak thay evo
Female | 21
You might be having an ingrown toenail. This is when the toenail no longer grows on the skin but rather grows inside it. It can bring on further irritation, discoloration, and the build-up of bodily fluids. Tight shoes, or, on the other hand, improper nail clipping, are two principal causes of this situation. To get relief, you can soak your foot in some warm water and gently try to lift your nail. In cases of intense pain, visit an orthopedist for treatment.

Having leg pain from 30 days
Male | 42
If the pain has been bothering you for a whole month, it is better to get treatment. Besides, leg pain that lasts can be caused by items like strained muscle, abuse, or poor blood circulation. The best solution for leg pain is to rest, apply ice packs, and do light exercises. If the discomfort persists following this treatment, get an opinion from an orthopedist for additional evaluation and medical care.

My father is 54 years old and he have Shoulder Arthritis. He is suffering a lot of pain . He daily apply hot water and pain reducing oilment but there is no improvement. .
Male | 54
Your father is feeling pain due to Shoulder Arthritis; it’s a common affliction. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder. The main causes are wear and tear on the joint and aging. Just applying hot water or ointments for pain relief is not adequate. For more effective treatments like physical therapy or medication, seek help from an orthopedist.

Carpal tunnel syndrome seems to be your interpretation. A squashed nerve in your wrist, which is accompanied by pain, weakness, and tingling in your hand and fingers, is the cause of this problem. It can be due to overstretching your wrist, as one uses a computer or a phone for a long time. As an alternate solution, you could try wearing a wrist splint, doing hand stretches, and taking breaks from activities that involve overextending your wrist. If the pain persists, see an orthopedist for more advice.

i can't move my wrist and arm i think its broken
Female | 15
Falling can cause your arm to break. Bones may crack from an impact, accident, or heavy blow, leading to pain and swelling. Moving the arm becomes challenging. At the hospital, doctors will examine X-rays to identify the fracture. Treatment varies: some breaks can be stabilized with a cast, while more severe breaks may require surgery. Seeking medical care from an orthopedist is crucial to ensure the bone heals properly.

Lower back pain mainly in spine near the flank area. Pain not present all time. Pain occurred after waking up from bed at any time.
Male | 24
Sore muscles can be the root of this problem due to, for example, a bad sleeping posture. It might also be the spine itself that is giving you problems. Help your body to recuperate from the injury by avoiding movements that make it worse, using a heating pad or ice pack, and trying gentle stretches for the back. If the pain persists or you think you are feeling worse, it is a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

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 wrist pain at both hands. At the left hand, it is the worst. I feel the pain right at my pinky finger side sometimes and when I supinate my hand, the pain goes to the middle from the ulnar side. At the right hand, here is pain too but its mild compared to the left one. It isn't even noticable when I stretch my right hand.
Male | 17
It sounds like you may be experiencing wrist pain, possibly due to overuse or strain. For your left hand, the pain focused around the pinky finger side could indicate issues with the ulnar nerve. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably an orthopedic specialist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. For the mild pain in your right hand, a medical evaluation is recommended to address any underlying causes and prevent further discomfort.

For 3 months, the area around my right shoulder blade has been swollen and I sometimes have pain when moving my arm. The swollen area is soft and does not hurt to the touch.
Male | 19
You have swelling near a joint. That's probably bursitis. The swollen areas contain fluid sacs. Moving your affected arm brings pain and discomfort. You should rest your arm and use cold packs. This can reduce inflammation. Also, try stretching exercises. These may offer relief. However, if the pain continues, visit an orthopedist.
