Is a Purple Toe a Sign of a Broken Bone?
If my toe is purple does that mean it's broke
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 21st June '24
Sometimes a purple toe might indicate that it's broken. Other symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, and failure of the toe to move. A few of the reasons your toe may be hurting is you dropped something heavy on it or hit it hard. To make it easier, rest your toe, apply ice, elevate it, and take pain medicine. If the pain is strong, you should contact an orthopedist.

I have a pain in my upper heel it's been 1.5 year and I have tried everything to heal but nothing is working can it be possible to me walk without any pain
Male | 21
You may have plantar fasciitis. It occurs when foot bottom tissue gets strained, and inflamed. Comfy shoes help. Do stretches. Apply ice. See a physical orthopedic specialist if the pain won't go away. They'll make a treatment plan for you. Keep caring for yourself.

I am 18 year old Girl suffering from lower back pain for 3 years My latest MRI report says i have slip disk problem the medicine i am taking is working as painkillers only the pain is insufferable... Its will be good to know your thoughts on my condition.
Female | 18
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Slip disc can cause severe discomfort, and painkillers only provide temporary relief. It's important to consult an orthopedic doctor or a spine specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper treatment plan. They can guide you on exercises, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to manage your condition effectively.

Sir I am suffering from shoulder disclocation coz of heavy load ... It's been one month now . Can I remove my strap now or do wear long to make it fully recovered. After watching some you tube video that's after some time it's dislocat again make me scared ???? I don't want to do surgery please advice me sir what to do
Male | 18
Shoulders can become dislocated again if they aren’t given enough time to heal completely. It would be best to continue using the brace so your shoulder receives more support. Taking it off prematurely might cause another dislocation. If you rest your shoulder adequately, then no surgery will be necessary.

Sir, I got a small lump under the nail part above my big toe and it’s little paining . I met an orthopedic doctor. He said uric acid may be high. I had a uric acid test done and it was 4.83 mg/dL. If you ask if those values are normal, the doctor says that you should use Febumin-80 tablet. I don't understand anything. Please tell me what should I do. Can you please explain my situation to me. Thank you
Male | 32
Gout happens when uric acid builds up. It can cause pain, swelling, and redness. Your uric acid level is slightly high at 4.83 mg/dL. The doctor prescribed Febumin-80 tablets to lower it. Follow their advice closely. Watch what you eat to manage gout.

High radial never problem and wrist drop
Male | 26
These are some of the conditions that can cause muscle weakness and loss of movement in the wrist and hand. You should consult a neurologist or an orthopedist who is the specialist in nerve conditions to carry out the treatment. The longer the treatment is postponed the higher the risk of progressing to severe illness and disability.

Last week I fell and hit my knee. It is bruised and swollen. There are no breaks or cracks in the area. Today the bruise on my knee is starting to fade but the swelling is hard. Her legs can walk as usual, but sometimes it hurts, she can't straighten and feel pressured in the swollen part. Because the swelling is hot and hard. Kdng2 is tired and throbbing. When she wants to straighten her legs, she will crack her knees and feel heavy. When I sit down he is depressed in his knees. Is it dangerous or is it normal to get hit?
Female | 20
If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hi my knees keep cracking all the time when I move them
Male | 42
Knees cracking when you move them is usually due to the movement of gas bubbles in the joint fluid or the rubbing of soft tissues over bones. If there's no pain or swelling, it's generally harmless. However, if you're experiencing discomfort, it's best to consult an orthopedic doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

Hi I have disability. I had fall yesterday miss last 3 step on double bus and today last hour press wrists and home arm just swallow. Should get checked out
Female | 30
You might have injured the wrists and arms. When your arms appear swollen, you could likely be suffering either from sprains or strains. You might end up experiencing symptoms such as pain, swellings, or the inability to move without extreme difficulties. To reduce these swellings therefore, it is advisable that you use ice bags while at the same time raising both of your arms. You should visit an orthopedist for further clarification.

I have been experiencing a persistent back pain in the middle section at the left side only. I used to feel it temporarily now it is chronic. No pain can be felt on the surface, but pain is still felt internally. What is wrong with me?
Female | 18
This kind of hurt usually means that there is a damaged muscle or even possibly a slipped disc. These can cause long-term problems with hurting all the time. The main things you can do to help yourself are to rest a lot, put something cold or warm on it, and maybe try easy exercises to make your muscles stronger in that area behind you. If you don’t feel better after doing these things for some days then go and see an orthopedist.

Hello, my son of two years and five months has suffered two fractures in the last five months. The first time was fractured in the femur region of the left leg and the second time it was broken below that and above the knee of the same leg. I sent you the results of the test and the photo of the bone density. Please guide me. I took this test two days after opening his leg.

Hello, according to the information given in, your son appears to be suffering from some underlying bone health problems. As a next step, I would recommend you to see bone density and overall health assessed by an orthopedist and a paediatric endocrinologist. These experts will be able to give your son the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for the situation he is in.

Sir I have muscle strain in my calf ,so doctor told me to do sonography, In sonography partial muscle tore have been found so what should I do
Male | 26
It sounds like you have a muscle tear in your calf muscle. This can happen if you overdo it on your muscles or damage them. You may experience symptoms like pain, swelling, and difficulty in leg movement. It is necessary to let your leg rest, apply ice and elevate it to speed up healing. Gentle stretching and physical therapy can also be effective healing methods. Stick to your doctor's recommendations and you are sure to make a complete recovery.

my left leg middle finger is crack can i return my finger
Male | 21
Clefts might be the result of dehydration or trauma. It may cause a lot of pain, a scratchy feeling, or become reddish in color. If you don't have any moisturizer, you can use some mild one, and cover it with a bandage for a short-term remedy. Be diligent about hygiene and strive for a clean and protected environment. If it doesn't even progress, you could probably use an orthopedist who will help.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.
Female | 18
If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

Why my abdomen and back pain happens when I stand or walk or when eat.
Female | 20
Your symptoms could relate to intestinal problems. Food and movement cause intestines to shift, leading to discomfort. Inflammation, infections, or digestive issues are potential causes. Have smaller meals, drink lots of fluids, avoid trigger foods. If pain continues, see an orthopedist for an examination.
