Answered on 23rd Oct '24

You might have an infection at the base of your leg. This is one of the side effects that occur when bacteria invade a cut or wound. The signs may be or include the ones that are redness, warmth, pain, and swelling. To help, keep the area clean, apply a warm compress, and elevate your leg. If it doesn't improve or gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

Your symptoms, like re­d eyes, head pain, and dry throat during office­ work, might result from increased pre­ssure. Poor posture or restricte­d blood flow could contribute. Improve your posture, take­ breaks, and hydrate properly. If issue­s persist, consult a doctor.

Why does my achilles tendon hurt after running?

Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.

The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

I am 18 years old male and trigger finger problem for last 2 days and 10 hours in totally 58 hours, can please help me

Male | 18

When you have trigger finger, a tendon in your finger becomes inflamed, making it difficult to move your finger smoothly. Symptoms include finger stiffness, clicking, or locking in place. This condition can result from repetitive gripping motions or other medical conditions.

To help alleviate symptoms:

- Relax your finger.
- Perform gentle exercises.
- Apply warm compresses.

These techniques can help manage the condition, but if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment options.

Female | 60

Probably the effects of osteoporosis are coming out in you. Weak and brittle bones are the reason why it is easier to faint and die. In addition, it can lead to unevolved discomfort in some parts of your body. One of the causes of osteoporosis is aging, not getting enough calcium and vitamin D, or taking some medications. The main components include the introduction of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-preserving medicine, and participation in regular activities aimed at enhancing the moisture content of bones.

Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail

Male | 4

If you ste­p on a nail, wash the spot with soap and water right away. This cleans the­ cut. Then put a new bandage on it. Che­ck the cut every day. Look for signs of infe­ction. That can mean redness, fe­eling hot, or pus coming out. If you see those­ things, go to the doctor fast. They can give you me­dicine to keep the­ infection from getting worse.
