Answered on 19th Sept '24
Did you know that growth plates are areas at the ends of bones in children and teenagers where growth occurs? But when we stop growing, these growth plates fuse. In boys, this usually happens between the ages of 17 to 19. If you're 19 and not sure if yours have fused, you won't be able to tell without a medical exam. If you're worried, you should probably consider speaking to an orthopedist.

Spine and leg pain problem
Male | 21
There are several possible reasons why this is happening. Sometimes it happens because of nerve problems in the spine; sometimes it occurs due to muscle strain or injury. To alleviate these discomforts, perform light stretching exercises, apply ice packs or heat pads on the affected area, or take non-prescription painkillers. If these measures fail to provide relief, visit an orthopedist.

Pain in buttocks to bottom of the leg after periods
Female | 21
This kind of pain may happen from sciatica. Sciatica is when a nerve in your back gets bothered. It is common for this pain to come after your period because of changes in your body. To help with this, try using a hot pad and doing easy stretches to feel better. If the pain keeps going or gets worse, it is good to talk with an orthopedist to find more ways to treat it.

Male | 37
The condition you are experiencing could be sciatica. Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve in your leg. This can result in pain and discomfort in the thigh and make it difficult to walk or sit. You can do some gentle stretching exercises, apply cold packs, and rest. If the pain continues, consult an orthopedic specialist.

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.

It's possible that you may have sustained an injury to your hip or surrounding area. Seek medical attention from an orthopedic in this situation, especially if the pain is severe and you are unable to bear weight on your left foot.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong
Male | 67
Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

I m getting sharp shooting pain in right side..
Female | 29
It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

I have slight tendonitis in entire arm. I had an angiogram 10 days ago. After forearm and swelling subsided in a day or two, my tendinitis ramped up in pain. It's very uncomfortable. Especially in the bicep... is is from traveling
Male | 65
Your arm probably doesn't feel good after the angiogram. The tendinitis flared up from the procedure. It causes aching in the bicep area. Try applying ice packs and stretching gently. Also, give your arm a break. Consult the medical team if pain continues. They performed the angiogram, so they'll advise you properly.

I am 20 years old man andi dislocated by ring finger while playing cricket, i think its broken and i can't bend my finger
Male | 20
It might be true if you have been suffering pain, looking at the swelling, and unable to bend the finger. A difficult event such as a strong impact or force is usually the reason for its occurrence. At this point, you should cease all activities, place ice on the area, and raise your hand. Medical attention by an orthopedist must be given so that the treatment will be done correctly.

Inflammation or overworking joints causes aches. Many reasons behind headaches exist - stress, bad sleep, and more. Make sure to drink plenty of water daily. Rest well. Manage stress proactively.

I am a 17 year old female with a diagnosis of bertalottis syndrome which I take co-codamol 8/500 and an anti inflammatory for. For about 2 years I've been experiencing chronic pain in my wrists, knees, ankles and elbows. The pain is usually about a 3/4 usually and its an achey/strong pain but it often gets more intense like a flare up where it can go from a 6-10 where I am unable to move the affected body part.
Female | 17
You may face issues linked to Bertolotti's syndrome. Dealing with ongoing pain in various joints is not unusual with this condition. The achy, intense ache you describe, coupled with flare-ups, is a frequent symptom. Collaborating closely with an orthopedist to investigate diverse treatment choices that could enhance symptom management remains crucial. Exercising and physical therapy may prove advantageous too.

My brother is 23 years old and he suffered from covid before 9 months and he had pain in hip joint and legs so we did mri and the reports said AVN in hip joint 2-3 stage so they suggested surgery to drill in bone to start the blood flow as before . I want to know the percentage of success and how operation will take place
Male | 23
Acupuncture distal and local points along with Moxibustion and electro stimulation would help a patient dealing with AVN hip pain. Acupuncture helps in increasing the immunity and helps in reducing the after- effect covid symptoms.
Electro acupuncture can also help in increasing the blood flow.
When the needles are inserted in the body, our body releases natural chemicals to fight the illness or symptom. Hence AVN can be treated with acupuncture combined with medical aid to control severe pain in the hip joint.
Acupuncture is a boon in AVN to boost up the response and reduce the recovery time taken by patients. It helps in increasing the increases the overall positivity of the patient as the acupuncture sessions advances patients start feeling better and their overall condition improves to a large extent.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?
Female | 28
I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.
