Why is my wrist unstable when I move it?
I've noticed that my wrist feels loose or unstable when I apply pressure or pull something or during arm wrestling, but it only happens when I deliberately move it in a certain way. I have noticed it more than 6 months ago.Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do about it?"

You have a condition called ligament laxity in your wrist. This means your ligaments are loose and don't support your wrist properly, making it feel unstable in certain positions. This can be due to a past injury or natural hypermobility. To help stabilize your wrist, wearing a wrist brace during activities that trigger symptoms can provide support and reduce instability. Doing special wrist-strengthening exercises can also improve strength and stability over time. Avoid activities that worsen your symptoms, and consult a physical therapist for a personalized treatment plan.

Hi, I have bursitis, but there is no pain, what to do to solve this problem?
Male | 40
Is bursitis without pain possible? Yes, it is but it can bother you a lot. Bursitis occurs due to the inflammation of bursae, a small, fluid-filled sac located at joints. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will feel pain. But if there is swelling or stiffness, you might feel like you have swollen a joint by doing a wrong workout. Swelling can be resolved by resting and applying ice packs. The best and most effective course is to avoid participating in things that enhance the swelled part. There is a possibility that it could not go away, and the advice of an orthopedist could be sought in this case!

I am 33 years old male and have some shawaling (सूजन) problem in my left knee Last night, I have used pain relief ointment cream.But no any relief . what should I do now.
Male | 33
Swelling is the outcome of many reasons like injury, overuse, and also arthritis. Since the pain relief cream didn't help, try using an ice pack on your knee for 15-20 minutes a few times a day. Moreover, give your knee some rest whenever possible. If the swelling stays unchanged, you might consider consulting an orthopedist for more tests.

I am a 17-year-old female. I was recovering quite well from a mild knee ligament stretch from over 2 or 3 months ago. It was not fully recovered, though. Yesterday, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt, but after a couple of minutes, I was able to walk relatively normally. There is pain on the sides of thd knee when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it fully. I can still walk and climb stairs. Currently, I am elevating my knee above hip level. How much and how long should I limit my activities? What should I do? Will my injury heal wrongly? Will my cartilage come back fully?
Female | 17
Pain on the outer side of the knee when straightening or fully extending it could mean a sprain. Be sure to rest your knee, apply ice for 15-20 minutes several times a day, and keep it up above your hip level. Stay away from activities that make the pain worse. If it doesn’t get any better, make sure you get it checked out by an orthopedist so that it can heal properly and there won’t be any long-term issues.

I got my knee patella dislocated for first time 2 weeks ago and today my plaster got dispatched. My knee has swelling is it due to plaster? And I am not able to bend it I am able to stand properly on both legs but while walking my knee can’t hold my weight properly. Will this automatically take time to be normal or should I do some exercises? And what to do to reduce swelling?
Male | 19
Swelling after causing a dislocated patella is usual. The plaster may play a part in the swelling, however, the major reason behind the injury is. Difficulty bending and walking are expected early on. As the knee mends, this will improve slowly over time. Light exercises your orthopedist suggests can stretch and strengthen your knee. Resting, elevating your leg, applying ice packs, and taking prescribed medications if necessary to reduce swelling will be helpful.

I fractured my humorous up next to my shoulder and now my wrist and hand are swollen and badly bruised. My concern to s blood poisoning
Male | 63
You might be seeking information on sepsis, which is also known as blood poisoning. The issue of swelling and contusions is not only at the site of the fracture but may also occur in the forearm and hand. Although it may be alarming, it's usually not a symptom of blood poisoning. In case your health condition is deteriorating and you're fighting such symptoms as fever, tachycardia, and disorientation, you should not waste time seeking a medical consultation. Please also remember to keep your arm above the level of your heart and put the ice on the place to keep the swelling down.

Hey! Little backstory of me. I had diagnosed DVT 4 months ago. So I am still using anticoagulants. DVT cause was covid and it started on left calf. Now, few days ago I woke up and suddenly felt pain in my left foot. To be precise, on the ball of foot. No swelling or color changes. And no jumping or running or long days on foot. Just a pain. I can’t stand and put pressure on this foot. But, if I try to walk a little, the pain gets milder. It won’t completely go away, but I can manage it. First question is, can I get blood clot on bottom of my foot? Secondly, I tried to research and got no real answers, so maybe you could take a guess. Age 29, weight 80kg.
Male | 29
Yes, getting a blood clot in the small vessels of your foot is something that can happen, but it is rare. The pain that you have may be nerve problems or strain. Be observant of it and if it does not go away or worsens, do not hesitate to contact an orthopedist for a check-up to be on the safe side.

Male | 37
It's normal to feel some pain and discomfort after your plaster is removed. Your tendon might need more time to heal fully. The stretching and pinching sensations in your thumb are part of the healing process. Be patient, rest your hand, and do the gentle exercises your doctor recommended to help your tendon recover.

The pain that runs from your back to your leg might be because something is pressing down the spine nerves. It might be a slipped disc or a spine issue. For healing purposes, visit an orthopedist as soon as possible to get a checkup.

I have been having pain below my left knee cap where the patella tendon is and I am thinking I have jumper knee. I work on Concrete floor all day. I have been having thing pain for a week now.
Male | 21
You may be dealing with patellar tendonitis - or “jumper’s knee”. This is typically caused by the tendon below your kneecap becoming inflamed due to activities such as standing all day on hard surfaces. Common signs include pain beneath the kneecap that worsens when moving. The upside is that taking some time off, using ice packs, and doing some light stretching exercises can help relieve discomfort. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.
