Understanding MRI results: Right L5-S1 disc bulge explained
I recently had an MRI done because I am having serious back pain. The results said.. right side disc bulge at L5-S1 level causing lateral recess and neuroforaminal narrowing as well as abutting the exiting right L5 nerve root. What does this mean?

Answered on 27th Sept '24
Your back issue involves a bulging disc at a specific level. The bulge puts pressure on a nerve, potentially causing pain. Like a kinked hose restricting water flow, the pressure disrupts nerve function. Physical therapy, medication, or surgery could help. Working closely with your orthopedic doctor on a treatment plan is vital for symptom relief.

I am not feeling well and felt like dizziness in the early morning and also my back gets stiffed in the morning. Please suggest me a solution over my problem??
Male | 23
Seems to be like you may have vertigo and a little bit of tightness in your back. Vertigo can make you feel like you’re off balance or that things around you are moving. As for the back, it could be from how you’re sleeping or sitting. Try to drink more water and stretch gently right after waking up. If this continues to happen, assess your sleeping position among other factors that may affect your general well-being.

It seems that, according to your described symptoms, you are dealing with one of the types of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a clot in the blood vessels deep inside body. You should immediately seek the advice of a physician, preferably from among vascular specialists to allow for proper testing and diagnosis. DVT is a severe condition that requires emergency treatment.

Hurting left hand for hours, but easing pain is a good sign. Myriad causes - overuse, odd sleeping posture. Should pain persist or worsen, promptly seek assistance from 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 a 16 year old girl that is an athlete basically do every sport but during soccer season I ended up having multiple injuries that caused my ankle to be involved like the top left or we could say bottom shin on the left and pretty much hurts every time smth hits it or put a lot of pressure on it
Female | 15
Ankle sprains are common in sports and often involve pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. They typically occur when the ankle rolls over, causing the ligaments to stretch or tear. To manage pain and swelling, try resting, applying ice, compressing the area with a bandage, and elevating your leg. It's important to give your ankle time to heal before returning to sports. If the pain persists, it's best to see an orthopedist.

Knee pain due to basketball
Male | 13
Knee pain is common in basketball players. It can happen from running, jumping, or twisting your knee repeatedly. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. Causes include overuse, lifting weights incorrectly, and not warming up properly. To help your knee recover, reduce activity, apply ice, and do graded exercises. For more serious conditions, seeing an orthopedist is crucial. Treating pain early is the best approach.

Your ankle discomfort is unfortunate. Sprains, strains, or arthritis might cause ankle pain. Here's R.I.C.E to ease it: rest, apply ice, compress with a bandage, and elevate your leg. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. If the pain persists, don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist.

I got little accident by scooty I felt 3 days before.. there is no more scratch... But my toe (leg) is swelled and bood clott got reddish patch and having pain.. please suggest me what to do.
Female | 17
You may be suffering from a blood clot in your leg as a result of the accident. Injury to the leg causes blood to pool and form a clot causing swelling, redness, and pain. This is serious because the clot may break free and travel to other parts of your body. Elevate your leg above your heart, apply ice, and take a break. When the pain persists or becomes severe, go to the nearest hospital immediately.

It sounds like you might be experiencing muscle strain from driving. This is common, especially if you're in the same position for a long time. I suggest seeing an orthopedic specialist or a physiotherapist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

The pain that runs from your back to your leg might be because something is pressing down the spine nerves. It might be a slipped disc or a spine issue. For healing purposes, visit an orthopedist as soon as possible to get a checkup.

I am trying to find the starting point to getting my knees replaced
Knee replacement surgery is done to replace the damaged joints so patient is relieved of symptoms. The knee joint with an artificial knee called prosthesis made of metal, plastic, and ceramic. It helps to restore function of the damaged knee and relieve arthritis pain. Knee replacement surgery is advised if the pain is interfering with your daily activities and negatively affecting your quality of life. Types of knee replacement surgery Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement - When both knees are replaced at the same time. The primary advantage of a procedure is that there is only one hospital stay and one rehabilitation period to heal both knees. But rehabilitation may be slower. Also these patients may need assistance at home also. Generalized fitness is important here. Staged bilateral knee replacement- Each knee is replaced at a different time. These surgeries are done a few months apart. This staged approach helps one knee to recover before the second surgery. The main advantage of a this procedure is the reduced risk of complications and also requires a shorter hospital stay. However, since this procedure requires two surgeries, the overall rehabilitation period can be longer. Either surgery may involve any combination of total knee replacement or partial knee replacement. The risks associated with this surgery: infection, blood clots, failure of the artificial joint, heart attack etc. Post surgery care, rehabilitation is very important. Hope our answer helps you.

It's common to have slight asymmetries between body sides. Muscle development or alignment can sometimes cause this. Since it's not painful, it's likely not concerning. However, if you experience new symptoms or changes, visit an orthopedist.

my toe nail got ripped off im using bandage on it should i avoid bandage to leave it open ?
Male | 20
A toenail injury sounds unpleasant. Ripping off a nail may lead to pain and bleeding. Bandaging helps keep the area clean, or leaving it uncovered if bleeding is minimal. Cleanliness prevents infection. However, if severe pain, redness, or swelling occurs, seeking medical attention is wise.

Male | 37
It's normal to feel some pain and discomfort after your plaster is removed. Your tendon might need more time to heal fully. The stretching and pinching sensations in your thumb are part of the healing process. Be patient, rest your hand, and do the gentle exercises your doctor recommended to help your tendon recover.
