The symptoms you have mentioned can be suggestive of osteomyelitis which is an infection of the bone. I recommend you to see an orthopedist immediately for a proper diagnosis and a therapy plan.

My mother has a small tumor on her elbow is it possible cancer?
Female | 48
There’s an urgent need for an expert like an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist to inspect the tumor on your mother's arm. Not all tumors develop into cancer, so a thorough investigation is necessary to avoid any malignancy. Once it is confirmed that cancer is present, treatment alternatives can be explored.

I AM 35 YEARS OLD HAVING AVN ISSUE. KINDLY SUGGEST WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Male | 35
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a condition in which the blood supply to the bone is disrupted causing the bone tissue to die. Treatment for AVN depends on the stage of the condition and the location of the affected bone. Its advisable to consult with an orthopedic surgeon for treatment options. The doctor may recommend physical therapy, medication, or surgery depending on the severity of the condition.

I am a 28 years old male. While working out today I felt sudden sharp cramp at my lower back. Feeling that cramp for 1.5 hours. Different body postures making the cramp worse.
Male | 28
It's very important to be attentive to your body, - after all, a period of rest can lead to a significant reduction of the symptoms. Using heat or cold packs to alleviate the pain, and gentle stretching to relieve the tension can be beneficial. However, if the pain does not go away, it gets worse, or other symptoms such as numbness or weakness become more significant, I suggest you go to consult an orthopedist. They will be able to carry out a comprehensive evaluation and develop a treatment plan that will suit your recovery and well-being.

I went to the doctor and they said I had hip flexor tendinitis. I took a steroids for 6 days and I am now taking a non steroid for 30 days. My hip flexor pain has gone away I think because I used to hardly be able to walk because I was in so much pain. But now I can hardly run without pain. I can’t figure out if it’s still my hip flexor or if it’s a pinched nerve in my hip, maybe my femoral nerve or if it’s my IT band. My pain stems from my right hip which I think is inflamed. Whenever I try to lift my leg while sitting down it feels dead weight almost. A pain shoots from my hip all the way down to the side of my shin.
Female | 18
It does sound like you may be having some other condition other than hip flexor tendinitis. It is better to see a orthopedist so that you can get a proper diagnosis. They may suggest advanced imaging tests or diagnostic procedures for your pain source.

Hey I’m getting a weird feeling in my right foot it comes a goes but it feels like a pulse movement it feels weird I’m not sure what it is
Female | 24
You might be feeling a throbbing sensation in your right foot. The constriction of blood vessels or the poor circulation of that area can be the cause. In rare instances, stress, anxiety, or the overconsumption of caffeine, may lead to the same feeling. Walk around and try to keep your foot upright for a while. Talking to an orthopedist is advisable if the feeling persists or gets worse.

Hi I’m nafisa 24 yrs old I have back pain at right side through the chest it’s light muscle stain when I try to move I’m feeling it I have last 4 days
Female | 24
You likely have a muscle strain on your back's right side. It's causing chest pain. Muscle strains happen when you move stressfully. You'll feel pain while moving. Rest up. Ice the area. Take over-the-counter pain meds if needed. Try gentle stretches. Avoid activities worsening the pain. If it doesn't improve or worsens, see an orthopedist

Female | 25
The maximum lengthening achievable is around 8-10 cm for the femur bone and 6-8 cm for the tibia bone. The amount of limb lengthening a person can gain through surgery varies according to the individual's initial height, the type of surgery, desired lengthening etc.

I have neck pain almost past 1 year
Male | 45
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.

My son recently has hurt his wrist or hand he fell now his knuckle is enlarged and weirdly shaped and a bit bulky and feels different this happens 3 days ago
Male | 14
Your kid may have injured a knuckle while he landed. All the symptoms, even the growth of the knuckle, its strange shape, and heavy sensation do show a fracture or dislocation. So, applying ice is a typical solution to reduce any swelling the hand has. It means that once the swelling has shrunk using ice, one can then gently bandage the hand. The best thing to do is to visit an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment.

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.

Pair me sujan aur dard h kuchh din tik rahta h fir dard hone lagta h
Male | 29
You feel swelling, then pain. The pain comes and goes. But, it gets worse over time. This may be inflammation. Inflammation happens from injury, infection, or health problems. Rest the swollen area. Apply ice packs. Take pain medicine from a pharmacy. If the pain continues, see an orthopedist.

I have knee pain from four days
Male | K SADAK VALI
Knee pain can come from several materials, for example, injury, overuse, or arthritis. Signs of such can be swelling, stiffness, or hard-to-move knee. To ease the pain, lying down, putting on ice packs, and raising the leg are some of the things you should do. If the pain does not go away, get it evaluated by an orthopedist.

I have knee issues and wanted to know when I want to go to bed if wearing diapers is a good idea or not
Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.
