Why do I have sternum, arm, and shoulder pain?
I've had pain in the sternum, top of left arm, left shoulder blade and ribs for months now. I'm 36. I'm seeing physio and noone really knows what it is! I had an ECG, fine. Bloods, pretty much ok. The back shoulder blade is now awful and constant!

You've been experiencing pain in the sternum, left arm, shoulder blade, and ribs. Such discomfort can have many sources, for instance, a muscle strain or inflammation. It is a happy occasion when the results, such as ECG and blood work, are in the normal range. Physiotherapy can be a solution for the everlasting pain in the shoulder blade. Visit an orthopedist suitable for treatment.

I have grinding in my right shoulder (dominant arm) along with accompanying pain at some times. Last year I was playing basketball and after a few weeks of playing some games I developed a pain in said shoulder. I let the pain fade on its own and discovered the grinding (like a bone on bone contact) in my shoulder. I would like to know if it could be serious and if at this point I could do anything about it. I am an athlete and have had tendinitis in my Achilles tendon (ankle) if that helps anything.
Male | 18
Shoulder pain can come from shoulder impingement. This means shoulder tendons get pinched, resulting in grinding discomfort. Athletes face higher risk due to repeated arm motions. Treatment options include physical therapy exercises to strengthen shoulder muscles. Avoid activities worsening symptoms. Use ice packs to cut inflammation.

I think I have a meniscus tear
Female | 13
Your problem might be a torn meniscus, which is a cushion inside the knee. It can tear from twisting, bending, or wear and tear. Symptoms include pain, swelling, popping sounds, and the knee locking. You can treat it with rest, ice packs, keeping your leg raised, and doing physical therapy exercises. Surgery may be needed for severe tears.

I AM 35 YEARS OLD HAVING AVN ISSUE. KINDLY SUGGEST WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?
Male | 35
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a condition in which the blood supply to the bone is disrupted causing the bone tissue to die. Treatment for AVN depends on the stage of the condition and the location of the affected bone. Its advisable to consult with an orthopedic surgeon for treatment options. The doctor may recommend physical therapy, medication, or surgery depending on the severity of the condition.

I hurted myself on knees so since 4 hrs it's paining but there is no swelling so should I visit Dr or it will be fine after weeks
Male | 22
Even without swelling, pain can happen due to injury or overuse. Rest your knee, ice it, and elevate it. If the pain doesn't improve in two days, seeing a doctor is wise. Many potential causes exist for knee pain without swelling. Resting, icing, and elevating are good first steps. If the pain persists, seek medical attention.

I have inner thigh pain
Female | 28
The involvement in a thigh muscle can be separated from the skin, a sensation like tingling, aching in the hips, or a soreness in the groin developing a tear that causes discomfort but is usually not serious. The typical culprits are muscle strain caused by overwork or swift movement. It could also be the result of minor injuries or skin inflammation. Have some rest and apply ice to the inflamed area while at the same time, stretching the area slowly. If any discomfort continues or intensifies, discuss the matter with an orthopedist.

Since your uric acid levels are now normal but you're still experiencing pain and swelling, it's important to follow up with your orthopedic doctor. They might need to adjust their treatment or explore other possible causes.

Stabbing pain in the knee can be due to many reasons. It could be ligament or meniscus injuries to inflammation or other medical conditions. Get it examined with an orthopedic for proper evaluation and treatment if required.

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.

Female | 25
An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

My father is 80 yrs old and is on blood thinner medicines as he has undergone valve replacement surgery of heart. he now wants to go for knee replacement surgery as he cannot walk due to pain. Please guide if he can go for it and is it safe for him. Thank you
Male | 80
Yes. Of course he can go for knee replacement surgery. For this blood thinner has to be stopped 5 days before and should be replaced with some other medicine and after 5 days surgery can be done very successfully. This surgery is very safe and rewarding.

knees pain of legs last of 1 year
Female | 43
A whole year with pain in your knees must've been tough. Many factors could cause this issue - injury, overuse, or even arthritis. You might experience swelling, stiffness, trouble moving your knees. Try resting, icing the area, gentle exercises, and pain medication for relief. But don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist if the discomfort persists, as they can provide professional guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem
Female | 25
Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

Take your mother to a doctor or Ayurvedic practitioner, before starting any new medication or supplement like Sandhi Mitra Vati. This is particularly crucial for patients with pre existing conditions, like diabetes, and considering potential interactions or contraindications.

Painful thumb nail of leg pak thay evo
Female | 21
You might be having an ingrown toenail. This is when the toenail no longer grows on the skin but rather grows inside it. It can bring on further irritation, discoloration, and the build-up of bodily fluids. Tight shoes, or, on the other hand, improper nail clipping, are two principal causes of this situation. To get relief, you can soak your foot in some warm water and gently try to lift your nail. In cases of intense pain, visit an orthopedist for treatment.
