You have lower back pain, despite seeing a specialist for a year. Back troubles come from many causes: age, diabetes, overexerting yourself. Doctors use MRIs to find out why. Managing the discomfort involves easy workouts, good posture, medicines. But listen to your doctor first.

I have history of injury 2 months back my mri report says I have partial ACL tear with PCL sprain. I have very instability does it require surgery
Female | 18
Your knee injury involves a partly torn ACL and strained PCL ligaments. These issues destabilize the knee joint. Symptoms include discomfort, swelling, and trouble walking. Surgery may sometimes repair ligaments, restoring stability. However, discuss treatment choices with an orthopedist knowledgeable about your specific case.

You are suffering from knee pain due to the fall from a CD a long time ago. It is not unusual for knee injuries to be the cause of pain in later stages. The knee pain can be due to either arthritis or damage to the knee joint. The right way to strengthen your knees is to do exercises and keep your weight in shape so that you do not bother them too much. The chilly game and the painkillers that one can easily buy at the pharmacy are also helpful. If the pain persists, you better visit an orthopedist for a more thorough examination and treatment.

Yesterday I was playing football ⚽️ and while playing football on ground with my friends I fall while changing direction my ankle was not rolled but still it started paining and while playing I can't feel the pain more and played for some time but after coming the pain increases I saw that my ankle was swollen and it was paining just above the bone not directly on the bone but just above it I want to clarify that it is just a sprain or fracture one more thing the pain is just above the ankle (feel most of the pain only on that area but the whole arear is equally swollen) and not spreading to whole ankle or leg
Male | 15
There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle. The pain location suggests a sprain over fracture. Avoid excess weight on it. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

Male | 22
Scoliosis is a condition that causes the spine to bend sideways. As a result, the nerves may be compressed, and in some cases, the pain may be ejected. The main symptoms include pain, which may also move to the neck area. The best solution is to consult a spine specialist who can offer exercises or other treatments to assist your pain and discomfort.

I am feeling mild pain in my waist to knee vein while standing position since 4 days. no problem in sitting, walking or running. in first day i felt numbing sense too. i have worry about vericose vein.
Male | 31
Some of your symptoms might be related to varicose veins, which are enlarged veins that can vary in color and shape. They often cause discomfort and dull pain. Prolonged standing can worsen this pain. The numbing sensation you felt might be due to insufficient blood flow through the veins. To improve circulation, try elevating your legs when lying down and wearing compression stockings. Additionally, regular exercise and avoiding excessive sleep can help. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and if the pain worsens or becomes severe, visit an orthopedist.

I am abhishek yadav.my problem is Acl partial tear. I am Indian army.can I running as before after surgery.and how many cost of surgery and how many time after complete recovery
Male | 27
Acupuncture points help in rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) . Using the local and distal points in acupuncture, it helps in repair of ligaments and reduces the rehabilitation time.
Acupuncture combined with seed and magnet therapy, moxibustion have miraculously helped in treating ACL tear naturally I.e without surgery.
One can lead a normal life once a patient is pain free.
The treatment time depends on the severity of the patient but nonetheless 12- 15 sessions will be required which will help reduce the pain and repair the ligament. Further course of treatment can be advised post the knee scan.

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.

Female | 18
UCL injuries often occur when the elbow gets bent awkwardly or hit. Severe pain and weakness may result. Applying cotton cloth provides little relief. Instead, rest the arm. Use ice packs to reduce swelling. Consider wearing a brace. See an orthopedist if pain persists. Proper treatment is crucial for healing.

I’m 56 year old lady. I have pain in left hand since last 2 months. My Vitamin D recent one week ago test shows value 23.84 Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? Please guide.
Female | 56
Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.

You seem affected by knee discomfort, yet solutions exist if we collaborate. Numerous factors like trauma, excessive strain, or joint inflammation often contribute. Additionally, menstrual delays can influence bodily functions. Applying warmth locally might alleviate symptoms temporarily. However, if the issue continues, go to an orthopedist.

I diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis arthritis on feb 2024 that time my ESR was 70 and now its down to 26 whats that mean
Female | 25
An ESR test measures inflammation levels in your body. A lower ESR reading, like 26, indicates less inflammation compared to a higher value like 70. This suggests the inflammatory condition is relatively better controlled. Ankylosing spondylitis causes back pain and stiffness due to inflammation in the spine. Effective management involves staying physically active through exercise routines, adhering to prescribed medications, maintaining a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco use.

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.

The swelling and pain of the ankle and toes can be due to some joint-related or circulation-related problem. Irregular periods can be caused by imbalances of hormones. Severe hair fall can be caused by stress or lack of nutrition. Headaches and laziness could be signs of different types of problems. It's necessary to have an orthopedist make the right diagnosis and provide the correct treatment.
