Why does my ankle hurt when moving?
I twisted my ankle a couple hours ago , when it happened it hurt a lot, but I managed to get up a few minutes later and walk home. I rested for a few hours, and when I tried to walk again, it hurt real bad. I can’t step on my foot or even move it when I try to. It hurts really bad but when I don’t move it or step on it, it doesn’t hurt at all. The pain is all around the ankle it feels like tension or something blocking my movement.

Probably you have sprained your ankle. Ligaments can get stretched or torn when you bend your ankle too far, and as a result, you may experience pain and swelling. Additionally, it may cause you to have difficulty properly moving your ankle. Rest your ankle, apply ice, elevate it, use compression, and take medication to help with the pain and swelling. Avoid putting weight on it and allow it to heal. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist for further evaluation.

I am a type 2 diabetic patient.four days before a rusted nail pierced my right foot.after that my foot started swelling and i am not able to eat and having nausea and I also have gastric trouble and constipation.i vomited thrice today and I didn’t have my antibiotics or any diabetic tablets.i also have headache and fever
Male | 56
Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

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.

My son has had a snowmobile accident that removed his bicep and the other small muscle on the front of his dominant hand. The ulnar and radial nerve are functional after the initial surgery. He is in the anchorage hospital. But wants the best care and treatment to gain as much use back from his arm as possible. Would he benefit from being moved to a level 1 trauma center from where he is at. Also he wants as rapid of treatment in the healing as possible.
Male | 39
The functioning nerves following the procedure are promising. Relocating him to a trauma facility could benefit recovery, as they focus on treating severe injuries. Immediate care is crucial for optimal healing. The trauma center offers specialized treatment, therapies, and resources for the best possible outcome.

Recently i am facing joint pain, specially knee pain. cannot sleep more than 5 hours. after waking up from bed too much of back pain, i am taking calcium medicine and vitamin D3 but still the same problem
Female | 43
Arthritis afflicts joints, causing swelling and soreness. Your knee pain, trouble sleeping, and back ache indicate this condition. Gentle exercises like swimming or walking can strengthen muscles, complementing calcium and vitamin D3 supplements. Consulting an orthopedist about physical therapy or pain medication may provide additional relief. With proper treatment, managing arthritis symptoms becomes more manageable.

I am 18 years old .I decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kg. I am suffering one side of knee pain in right leg. And there is a pain for one day from neck and spinal cord
Female | 18
The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort in your back and neck, likely due to poor posture or extended periods of sitting. Symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and limited mobility are common in such cases. Simple remedies like stretching, improving posture, and using supportive pillows can often provide relief. However, if the pain continues, it's advisable to consult an orthopedic doctor for personalized advice and treatment options.

You may have bad pain in the soft tissues of your foot and ankle. This can occur from things like overuse or injury. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, or problems moving your foot. It is important to rest, ice, and elevate your foot to help it heal. Ask your orthopedist about using special supports or braces to protect your foot while it heals.

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.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Female | 21
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

Female | 52
Your MRI shows a disc problem in your lower back, specifically at the L4-L5 level. This is causing pressure on nerves, leading to back pain and sciatica on the right side. It occurs when the soft material inside the disc pushes out. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain medications, and possibly surgery if severe. Make sure to follow up with an orthopedist for the best advice.
