Answered on 14th Oct '24
ACL refers to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, a common injury in the knee. The symptoms are pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee. The main reason is mostly sports injuries or accidents. As medicines and phototherapy were not useful, go to an orthopedic specialist for more tests. Other treatments like physical therapy or surgery might also be necessary.

You feel this kind of pain while sitting. This pain can be caused by different things. It can be due to a strained or tight muscle sometimes. Other times it could be from the spine or nerves having a problem. To ease the pain, try sitting with good posture, using pillows for support, and doing light stretches. If it persists, you should seek help from an orthopedist who may advise on what could serve as a relief.

I have had patellar tendon repair surgery 3 weeks ago . I am now experiencing a burning sensation and tenderness does this mean the tendon has retorn or is this normal
Female | 26
It is a common issue among patients after the patellar tendon repair to have to deal with a burning sensation and tenderness. This may inflammation or irritation in the specific area of the operation as it is healing. These signs are normally a part of the healing process and are not the right indication of the recurrence of the tendon. To relieve the pain, you can wrap your leg with an elastic bandage and put it on the top of the pillows. Strictly follow your post-op care instructions and attend the follow-up appointments to let your doctor track your recovery.

You're suffering from pain deep inside your hip, particularly in the wintertime. Conditions like arthritis or bursitis could cause this. To properly diagnose, you should consult an orthopedist. Soft exercises like stretching and strengthening are effective in relieving hip pain.

Im Punya, gender female, age 18, i was in neet longterm for an year, in these period my ankles started swelling it is there now also with pain. I consulted ayurvedic doctor i didnt get any solution
Female | 18
These symptoms can happen if a person sits too long without moving around enough or they have some medical problem. You should see an orthopedist about your ankles so we know what’s going on with them. In the meantime try raising your legs up high when you can–this will help bring more blood flow down into your feet. Also, put cold packs on them to ease any swelling and hurt.

Degenerative disc disease is a common age related low back problem. It can be a significant cause of low back pain. The best treatment for it is non-operative. Back strengthening to stabilize the spine and application of topical pain measures should be tried first.

14 years se arthritis h thik ho ga ya nahi
Female | 45
Arthritis affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling. While these symptoms can improve with treatment, they often come back. For someone living with arthritis for 14 years, proper management is important. This includes medications, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Regular check-ups with healthcare providers help monitor progress and adjust treatment. Although arthritis doesn’t go away completely, it can be well-managed over time.

Female | 22
The popping sound and pain in both your upper and lower left abdomen might indicate harm done to organs or tissues in that area. Trouble with breathing could also be linked with this; so could the feeling of heaviness in one or both legs. You must visit an orthopedist who will carry out a thorough examination before prescribing treatment methods aimed at arresting these developments.

It will not do you any good to stick pain relief gel/medication to the ankle for persistent pain. A qualified orthopedic specialist should diagnose and treat you adequately.

Im a 25 years old female and i ma experience upper back pain and heel pain for almost 2 weeks. Also its been some days i have a pain around right breast.
Female | 25
The pain in your upper back might be from sitting too long or having bad posture; the heel is probably hurting because you’re wearing shoes that don’t fit well. The right breast also hurts sometimes if you’ve pulled a muscle or it’s inflamed. Take some time off and use ice packs or heating pads if necessary. None of these things help though, then get checked by an orthopedist.

Female | 30
If you have any bruising and are worried about infection there are some things to look out for. An infected bruise may become more swollen, red, warm, or painful. If you notice these signs then it could be infected. Gently clean the bruise, apply a clean dressing, and keep an eye on it. If in doubt, get it looked at.

I am 15 years old and have had a knee injury for 11 months . It started out as a meniscus injury and that has gotten better. According to my most recent MRI, I have edema , synovitis, and slight injuries to my ligaments. It doesn’t sound severe, but I have difficulty walking normally, and it often cracks, which makes it deteriorate. Also, because of the long duration，my muscles have muscle atrophy. My question is: What do the cracks mean(are they fine or not), and what should I do to recover? Thanks.
Male | 15
Crackling from your knee is fostered by harsh surfaces or air bubbles. Although it’s perfectly normal at times, it could signify a problem if pain or swelling accompanies the snaps. For recovery, gentle exercises along with physical therapy will not only strengthen supporting muscles, leading to better knee stability. Be cautious while moving be sure to stay away from activities that may exacerbate this popping sound. You can also visit an orthopedist.

Male | 25
Your scaphoid bone has a break. Two months went by, and your wrist moved stiffly. This stiffness happens sometimes after a fracture as it heals. To help, do gentle exercises a physiotherapist suggests. But if the pain stays or gets worse, see an orthopedist to check what's going on.

Female | 15
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.
