Generally, surgery is the first thing among older people with a broken hip that is used to help with healing and mobility. The operation may be the only way to heal the fracture by getting it back in the right place. It's crucial to have a conversation about the best treatment approach for you with an orthopedist.

I think I broke my ankle/ foot in my rugby game today
Female | 15
A possible foot or ankle injury during rugby is concerning. Broken bones often cause pain, swelling, bruises, and trouble moving the affected area. If suspecting a break, rest it and apply ice, avoiding weight on that limb. Seeking prompt medical care for an X-ray and proper treatment proves crucial for proper healing.

Sir mera kal se bohot fever ho raha hay or uske sath mera right leg bohot zyada full raha ha, lekin mere pyer mein koi chot nehi laga hay
Male | 21
Possible that you got an infection that can bring fever, and inflate your infected leg even when you are not injured. They are infectious illnesses that result when noxious bacteria infest us. Relax, take in plenty of fluids, and support your leg in an elevated position. See an orthopedic specialist for treatment.

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.

Hi, Im a 40 year old female. i have alot of pain in my heels, which is almost unbearable now and im seeking help in regards to that. i dont know if this is related to the pain , but i have Psoriasis and got treated for it around 5 years ago, and get checkups once in a year. i think the pain might be somewhat related to Psoriasis as it is right over my heels. hope someone understands the root cause of this and helps me.
Female | 40
Your heel discomfort troubles me. Heel agony may stem from Psoriatic Arthritis, a Psoriasis-linked disorder. This condition inflames joints, causing aches and swells. Neglecting it risks permanent harm. Thus, consulting a Rheumatologist is crucial for proper assessment and therapy. They'll prescribe medicines and suggest exercises to alleviate your suffering.

Delivery ko 8month hue cygerian.pasliya me drd hai jo drd chl kr reed ki haddi tk jata hai ultrasound me normal hai sb kuch .CBC urine v normal hai . Kya reason hai plz answer
Female | 27
According to your description, the pain in your lower back may be attributable to a thing called sciatica. When the nerves are compressed in the back, this is when it tends to hurt that traveling the leg even can. This is a usual occurrence during pregnancy Simple home care techniques such as regular exercises as well as the application of a hot pack at home and creating comfort as a result of using proper posture may be beneficial in relief. However, always ensure a second opinion from an orthopedist to make sure you are on the right track.

I am 21 years old and currently have been going through my leg foot and ankle pain i am diagnosed from typhoid almost every year in summers the typhoid has reduced but not the pain i usually have low blood pressure the pain stays for all they day and night if i change my position during night
Female | 21
It seems like you have felt a lot of pain in your leg, foot, and ankle. Your past typhoid sickness and low blood pressure could be why you still hurt. Sometimes, typhoid can make joints ache. It is very important to drink lots of water and rest. Using cold packs and keeping your leg up high can help the pain go away. If the pain does not stop, you should see an orthopedist to find out what is wrong.

Male | 17
The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

I have tfcc injury about a 1 month which medicine is taken to treat this
Male | 23
Seeing an orthopedist and getting a full diagnosis and a treatment plan is the first thing I would advise you to do for the TFCC injury. The specialist would probably issue a script for painkillers, immobilization, and/or physiotherapy and surgery only if the damage is severe.

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.

Female | Awantika
Back pain can be a lot of reasons such as muscle strain or even a slipped disc. In some cases, painkillers may not be enough to get you on the right track. It is the first step in getting the proper treatment, so I recommend getting the help of an orthopedist who can guide you with exercises or physical therapy to make your back muscles stronger and soothe the pain.

Mild Pain at the left thigh what's the best remedy
Male | 37
Muscle strain or overuse might cause this. Long periods of sitting or standing could also be the reason. Rest your leg, use a warm compress, gently massage the area - these may help ease discomfort. If pain persists or worsens, avoid activities aggravating it, give your leg rest. Stay hydrated, do gentle stretches. But if pain lingers after a few days, consult an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Age 35 Male foot get swell by twist need medicine name
Male | 35
You may have twisted your foot which happens when you twist it at a wrong angle. Symptoms are both pain and swelling. To get relief from this, you can drink some over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen. Put the foot up, put some ice, and see if it will ease the pain. If not, visit an orthopedist.

I am a 70 year old male and have been having pain in both my shoulders and knees for the last 6 months. I have used medicines and pain reliever ointment cream for few days but there is no relief. What should I do now?
Male | 70
Joint pain like this could be due to osteoarthritis, which is common in older people. As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, leading to discomfort. It's important to stay active to maintain flexibility and strength but avoid activities that make the pain worse. Gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help. Physical therapy can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joints and improve mobility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but it's essential to consult with an orthopedist before starting any new medication.
