Stepped on nail causing leg injury, what to do?

Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail

1 Answer
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Joint Replacement Surgeon

Answered on 23rd May '24

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.

My left leg is paining a lot. Not even able to walk. Upper thighs, calf and ankle.

Male | 49

If the leg pain is so severe that affects walking then get it checked by an orthopedist as it could indicate a serious medical condition. Possible causes can be muscle strain, deep vein thrombosis, or nerve problems.

Female | 19

It's good that your leg is still functioning well—that’s a good sign! You might feel symptoms like pain, numbness, or tingling. The most common causes are accidents or falls. The usual treatment involves rest, possibly wearing a brace and physical therapy. With proper care and rest, you'll likely recover well. Make sure to follow your doctor’s advice.

Wrist movement after tendon cut joining

Male | 27

Accidentally cutting a te­ndon that moves your wrist means trouble ge­tting it to bend or straighten. An injury or surgery could cause­ this. The symptoms? Difficulty bending or making your wrist flat. To fix it, surgery re­connects the tendon e­nds. But after, physical therapy helps re­gain wrist movement.

Im a 17 yo im male my hand hurts so much when i touch a precised place in it i can actually see the bone our comparing to the other hand. Thanks

Male | 17

It looks like you may have broken your hand. A specific point may be very tender and the area can appear different from the other side. It is crucial to have an orthopedist look at this. They will confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment which may involve putting on a cast or splint so that the bone can heal properly. Make sure that it is checked as soon as possible so you can begin the recovery process.

I am 18 years ol girl I have back pain and pain in arms

Female | 18

You're having a hard time with back pain and arm pain. These are signs that may be brought on by factors such as bad posture, heavy bags, or sitting in an uncomfortable position for too long. Don't forget to take a break now and then, stretch, and do some light exercises like yoga which can help alleviate the ache. Additionally, you could use a hot water bottle or take a warm bath for relief.

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.

Hello my name is Rohan. Yesterday I fell under a car and my leg is swollen. I went to the doctor but it didn't make any difference. Please tell me how to remove leg swelling because I have an exam tomorrow

Male | 15

Swelling in your leg can occur due to the injury. It is your body's way of safeguarding itself. If the swelling does not subside, try elevated rest, ice pack application, and wear a compression bandage. These measures can help you swell less and thus, ease your pain and make your exam successful.
