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.

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.

Prevention of worsening of degenerative disc disease is by decreasing the stress on the degenerated discs. Weight loss and avoidance of weight lifting and high impact activities decrease the stress and pain.

Sir meri Back bone k nechay k hisay mein hole hai jis sey blood aur pus ata hai mein kia kro
Male | 27
You may have an abscess in the sacral region. It could lead to the formation of a sinus that discharges blood or pus. You may experience tenderness, local heat, or swelling around this place. Abscesses occur as a result of infections most of the time. It is important to visit an orthopedist immediately to incise and drain it then give antibiotics for treatment.

I am 82 year old female who was hit in the right shoulder by a waitres in the dining room where I live. The shoulder is dislocated and the current doctor I saw said the ball is small so it will keep coming out so he did nothing except order some physical therapy to help strengthen muscles in the area. My arm is losing strength and I I am having trouble even getting dressed using that arm. Who can I see to get a second opinion as to what to do to solve this problem.
Female | 82
Your dislocated shoulder seems challenging, and arm struggles are tough. Since your current doctor didn't help enough, seek an orthopedic specialist's expertise. They specialize in assessing shoulder issues and recommending treatments. The right treatment can improve strength and relieve pain.

I am having pain in my right bum bone area and its affecting me when i walk. The pain is sharp and throbbing and sometime its making my leg and knees weak. but i have also missed my period but having cramps could this be related. I have drank celecoxib and cocodamol tablets but no relief. What could be wrong with me. I am 26 years old and and 5'9 in height
Female | 26
The pain, leg, and knee weakness, missed period, and cramping might be linked to sciatica, a condition where a nerve in your lower back is pressed, causing pain to radiate down your leg and potentially affecting your menstrual cycle. While celecoxib and co-codamol can help with pain, it's important to consult an orthopedist for a thorough check-up and accurate diagnosis.

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 25 year old female and have backache for last 2 months. I have used pain relief ointment cream for couple of days but haven't got any relief. What should i do now?
Female | 24
I would advise you to see an orthopedist for your backache. It is also possible that relief cream will not be effective in the future if the root cause of the pain is not treated. Orthopedic specialist will be capable of identifying the cause of your backache and offer suitable treatment options.

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.

There's been swelling in my legs after the treatment; what should I do about it?
Female | 60
If you notice any swelling in your legs after treatment, you must do so. Swelling can occur due to fluid build-up or blood flow changes. In some instances, medications may also be the culprits. While sitting, be sure to elevate your legs and avoid standing for too long. Going around can also aid. Should the swelling continue or the worsening of it be the case, be sure to inform an orthopedist immediately.

Im a 20 year old female . i have been having rib pain, shoulder pain when i breath and bend over and eat for the last few days . my right r Side lower back hurts .
Female | 20
Discomfort can manifest through rib pain, shoulder aches, back discomfort on the right side, and challenges in breathing or bending when eating. These indicators could stem from muscle strain, digestive issues, or potential rib injury. For relief, consider resting, applying warmth, and utilizing over-the-counter pain medication. However, if the distress persists, visit an orthopedist.

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 17 yrs old girl having problem about my height increasing and my bone problem pain i am normal but i suffered bone pain i have been no diagonesed with any disease
Female | 17
Bone pain may be a consequence of various factors such as growth spurts or poor posture which may be the reason for this. For now, think of your bones as if they are naturally adjusting themselves as you grow taller. Measure your intake of calcium and vitamin D as a way of ensuring you get enough of these minerals for healthy bones. Even if the pain persists, it's best to talk with an orthopedist.

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.
