Left Thumb Fracture from Accident: Causes and Treatment
Left thumb facture due to accident
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 5th Sept '24
Your left thumb is hurt. You feel pain, and swelling, it's bruised, and you can't move it well. A fall or hit caused your thumb to break. Don't use your thumb. Put ice on it to reduce the swelling. See an orthopedist for an X-ray. They'll check how bad the fracture is. The doctor may put a splint or cast on your thumb to help it heal correctly.

I have wrist pain at both hands. At the left hand, it is the worst. I feel the pain right at my pinky finger side sometimes and when I supinate my hand, the pain goes to the middle from the ulnar side. At the right hand, here is pain too but its mild compared to the left one. It isn't even noticable when I stretch my right hand.
Male | 17
It sounds like you may be experiencing wrist pain, possibly due to overuse or strain. For your left hand, the pain focused around the pinky finger side could indicate issues with the ulnar nerve. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably an orthopedic specialist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. For the mild pain in your right hand, a medical evaluation is recommended to address any underlying causes and prevent further discomfort.

Im Punya, gender female, age 18, i was in neet longterm for an year, in these period my ankles started swelling it is there now also with pain. I consulted ayurvedic doctor i didnt get any solution
Female | 18
These symptoms can happen if a person sits too long without moving around enough or they have some medical problem. You should see an orthopedist about your ankles so we know what’s going on with them. In the meantime try raising your legs up high when you can–this will help bring more blood flow down into your feet. Also, put cold packs on them to ease any swelling and hurt.

I am 24 years old and male. I hurt my knee in football and now I feel pain on one side.
Male | 24
You may have injured your knee during a football match. Achilles tendinitis or patellar tendinitis are the two most frequent causes of pain in the knee after an injury. Further, you may also have swelling or a problem moving the knee. To alleviate your knee problem, rest your knee, then put some ice on it to let it heal and elevate your leg. If you are still experiencing pain, it is relevant to take a rest from your daily activities and consult an orthopedist or therapist.

Hello, I had Femur Condylar bone fracture on 25-Dec-2023, when I consult an orthopaedic specialist he suggested it can be cured with Synthetic bandage. However all seems to be good till 45 days no pain and everything looks good at the knee but after 45 days when we opened the bandage they we found one of the bone piece not set properly . But there no pain. And even I can stand and gold my knee upto 90 degrees. My question is 1) what can be done to set this 2) what happens if the leave that like this. 3) Can this be treated again without surgery 4) I had consulted multiple orthopaedic specialists and each of them suggesting different opinions.
Male | 33
As a medical expert, the first advice to you is to consult a reputable orthopaedic surgeon for the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for your femur condylar bone fracture. This may intensify a possible complication later. Surgery might be necessary, but this matter can be only clarified only after a thorough examination of your case.

I have had shoulder blade pain since 2 months. I consulted a orthopaedic. He examined and said I have a herniated disc and prescribed me some pain killers. Those painkillers donot work at all.I consulted other doctor. He too prescribed me pain killers. And told that if the pain doesn't heal they will have to perform a surgery. I want to know if I should consume pain killers or go ahead with the surgery. Or can you suggest me a way to heal the herniated disc.
Female | 18
If painkillers aren't working surgery may be necessary . .Also , physical therapy may help. Herniated discs can be caused by poor posture , obesity, or heavy lifting..... Strengthening core muscles can help prevent future herniation. But to conclude anything between medication or surgery, need to evaluate reports

Female | 18
You're dealing with a condition called a strain on your inner thigh muscles, which can lead to pain and difficulty walking. Such a thing can occur with overuse or sudden movements. To aid with the pain and support in moving forward with your healing practice, apply ice, try resting your knee, and gently stretch the muscles. If the pain doesn't go away, it is important to get help from an orthopedist.

- Older individuals are more prone to falls and fractures. The incidence of ankle fractures in older patients is high and severe in some cases. The treatment is difficult and complicated in nature due to presence of comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension and poor bone quality.
- Treatment goals include: Stability of the joint, ability of the patient to perform daily activities independently and minimizing complications associated with fracture and other comorbid conditions.
RICE is a part of the Non-operative management of ankle fracture in older patients which includes:
R: The importance of rest cannot be overstated. In order for the fracture to heal faster limit yourself from further pressure on the foot.
A cast will most likely be worn to keep the foot and ankle immobile. In case of severe soft tissue swelling, a cast may be required for the first three to five days. The brace must be worn for six weeks in order to allow the fracture to heal. Cast fixation with off-loading is advised for poor bone quality depending on the radiography report.
Ice: For reducing the swelling and inflammation, apply ice to the region for 20 minutes at a time.
And continue further for every 40 minutes.
Compression: Wrapping the area in a bandage helps to reduce swelling.
Elevation: To assist reduce inflammation, lift your foot and ankle slightly above the level of your heart.

I have left knee meniscus pain leftknee right side pain how to reduce pain walk na i have pain steps down na pain pls tell me sir how many days reduce pain
Female | 28
Pain on the outer side of your left knee could be due to a meniscus tear. The meniscus is a wedge of cartilage in your knee, and when it's torn, it can cause swelling. For pain relief, try to avoid activities that make it worse, like walking and climbing stairs. Resting your knee, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain medicines can help. However, if the pain continues for several days or worsens, visit an orthopedist.

Severe low back pain Not movable stage from night
Female | 28
This may occur from overworking your muscles, having a bad posture and getting some diseases. To start feeling better, stretch gently, use ice or heat packs, and try taking nonprescription painkillers. It would be best if you spoke to an orthopedist if improvement doesn't happen within a few days.

I have knee pain from the last two years. Doctors advised for knee replacement but i dont want to go for knee placement. Will physiotherapy will do. Pl advise.
Female | 64
Physiotherapy can ease knee pain but only if the condition is not too serious. You should see an orthopedic specialist who will be able to assess your knee and prescribe effective treatment. A physiotherapist can collaborate with the orthopedic specialist to provide integrated treatment.

I am a 35-year-old girl, and I suffer from neck pain. I only used painkillers
Female | 35
Neck pain may manifest as soreness or rigidity in the area around the neck. The most usual causes include incorrect posture, long hours of sitting, or abrupt movements. Instead, gentle neck stretches and warm packs can relieve discomfort. If the pain is not going away, consulting an orthopedist will help to exclude any serious problems.

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.

Having leg pain from 30 days
Male | 42
If the pain has been bothering you for a whole month, it is better to get treatment. Besides, leg pain that lasts can be caused by items like strained muscle, abuse, or poor blood circulation. The best solution for leg pain is to rest, apply ice packs, and do light exercises. If the discomfort persists following this treatment, get an opinion from an orthopedist for additional evaluation and medical care.
