Typical signs are swelling, stiffness, or pain during any movement. To get rid of this, apply ice, put the leg up, and take over-the-counter painkillers if needed. It is essential to include strengthening exercises and weight management for health benefits. But, if the symptoms persist or become worse, you should consult an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation and individualized advice.

Recently i had tibia fracture surgery and it being 4 weeks I can't move my ankle properly i can move but not as the other leg's Normal ankle i push it down and it feel like leg is stopping it feeling pressure from leg

At around 4 weeks post-op, it's quite common to experience some stiffness and difficulty moving the ankle fully. The feeling of pressure and resistance you're noticing could be due to swelling, muscle weakness, or even a bit of scar tissue formation. Nothing to panic about, though! Gentle ankle exercises, regular icing, and following your physical therapy plan can really help improve your ankle mobility. If the issue persists or gets worse, it's a good idea to touch base with your orthopedist for further guidance.

Ive been having severe neck and shoulder pain radiating down my leg on my left side for a couple weeks now. Nothing has been able to relieve the pain. Im having trouble walking and sitting down or rolling over while i sleep. I have no knowledge of hurting myself or straining anything.

You're possibly dealing with sciatica. That occurs when a nerve gets pinched in your lower back area. Neck and shoulder discomfort could stem from muscle tension or strain. Gentle stretches, warm baths, and OTC pain meds may provide relief. However, if the pain lingers, see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.

The injury that you have described might be a muscle strain or a cervical nerve compression. You should consult an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist for proper diagnosis and therapy. If the pain lasts or increases, do not ignore it.

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.

Knee swelling solution...can I get solution

Male | 30 months

Knee swelling can result from various factors, such as injury, arthritis, or fluid accumulation. Common symptoms include puffiness, warmth, and discomfort. To manage this condition, rest your knee, apply ice for 20 minutes several times a day, and elevate it to reduce inflammation. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. It's important to avoid strenuous activities until the swelling decreases. If the swelling persists or worsens, consulting an orthopedist is crucial for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.

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.
