Hy.. I Am 20 years old... Unmarried... Can I take delish powder my bones are so weak.
Female | 20
Weakness can result from various factors like vitamin deficiencies, lack of physical activity, or dietary insufficiencies. Consider incorporating calcium-rich foods, vitamin D, and regular exercise into your routine. While delish powders may help, it's essential to consult an orthopedist before starting any supplements to ensure they align with your specific needs.

I fell down and hurt my frontal and side right ankle and foot. I used ice and keep my foot elevated. Underwent xray showing normal report. Took Hifenac MR and applied Systaflam Gel on the area. Pain has reduced but still sometimes I feel pain while walking. Swelling has reduced but still there. I feel pressure and heaviness on calf muscles and back of thigh area. Kindly suggest.
Female | 32
There is a chance of soft tissue injury resulting in pain, swelling, pressure, and heaviness. I advise to see orthopedist for detailed examination with subsequent treatment plan. You are suggested to elevate and ice the part that is hurting and avoid the activities that worsen the symptoms.

Mere pair main bht dard rehta tha adhi chubti hai mian ne xray krwaya h mujhe smaj nh ari xray mn kya aya h
Female | 21
Dard aur adhi chubhti mehsoos karna aam hai, jo kayi wajah se ho sakta hai, jaise joint ya muscle strain, arthritis, ya nerves ka dabav. X-ray se sirf bones ki tasveer milti hai, lekin soft tissue ya nerve problems nahi dikhte. Aapka dard agar continue rahe, toh physical examination aur additional tests ki zaroorat ho sakti hai. Aapko ek orthopedist se consult karna chahiye taake wo aapki symptoms ko samjhen aur behtar treatment plan bana sakein.

i am suffering from bone problem
Male | 29
You may have an issue with your bones. This could stem from lacking calcium or Vitamin D. When bones don't receive enough of those nutrients, they weaken. Pain sets in, making movement difficult. To combat this, consume calcium-rich foods like milk and yogurt. Eat leafy greens high in Vitamin D.

But don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist if the discomfort persists, as they can provide professional guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Male | 16
The presence of limping and discomfort for such a long period of time is of a great concern and may be caused by a variety of issues including the presence of growth plates that are difficult to deal with, joint disorders, and muscles that are unbalanced. Options may include physical therapy, exercises, or in some cases, surgery might be a requirement. Please consider making an appointment with an orthopedist who will examine musculoskeletal issues.

Namaste. My mother is of 72 years and has a problem with her both legs. Lots of heaviness and tough legs. Flat feet, unable to walk or fold her legs. Not even able to comfortable to sit on a chair. Thanks
Female | 73
It seems your mother is suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD). Symptoms include legs being heavy and stiff, walking being hard, feet being flat and, legs having discomfort. This happens when the arteries in the legs become narrow. To help, gentle exercises like walking, leg raised, use of comfortable shoes, and managing other health conditions can improve the symptoms. Please take her to an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I am having a sever lower back pain And also suffering from hermoroide
Male | 40 yrs
Severe discomfort in the lower back is often linked to muscle strain, poor posture, or disc issues. Symptoms may include stiffness, pain radiating down the legs, or difficulty in movement. Hemorrhoids, on the other hand, can cause itching, pain, or bleeding during bowel movements. To manage these conditions, focus on maintaining proper posture, engaging in gentle stretches, and considering warm compresses for relief. It's essential to maintain a high-fiber diet to ease any strain during bowel movements. However, I recommend consulting an orthopedist to address your symptoms effectively and ensure you receive appropriate care.

Male | 17
You were right to contact us about those crampy pains in your lower right back and side. Kidney issues can cause sensations like that sometimes. Even little kidney stones might feel similar. You must complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed. Drinking lots of water helps too. However, if the pain worsens or won't go away, you should let an orthopedist know.

How to get rid of arthritis in fingers?
Female | 45
Acupuncture helps in opening up the energy level ( commonly referred as 'Qi' in acupuncture theory).
Acupuncture needles are put on various parts of the body which helps in increasing the blood flow.
It has an anti inflammatory effect. It stops body's inflammatory response, increases blood flow and relaxes muscle tone. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body. Acupuncture releases endorphins which are natural hormones to reduce the feeling of pain and puts the patient in ultimate relaxed state i.e feeling of well being.
Electro acupuncture pulsates electric current through the needles.
Such procedure gives quick response and helps in reducing both pain and inflammation in people with arthritis.

I am a 32 year old woman. The real thing is that for the past few days I have been having pain in my hand and knee and it also gets swollen.
Female | 32
These symptoms may be the result of different diseases (arthritis) or some other injury caused by overuse or fall. You should rest, apply the ice packs, and elevate your hand and knee. Stronger pain and swelling can mean the body is going through a more severe stage and you should consult an orthopedist for further advice and treatment.

Hi, I was playing football and me and a mate were tackling I went to kick the football and accidentally caught the front of my ankle on the goal post. It has no swelling but I am having to use my umbrella to stay stood up and I can't put much pressure on it.
Male | 15
Your ankle's front is the shin area. Maybe you hurt your shin or stretched ligaments after hitting that post. You're struggling to stand and feeling pain - natural with ankle injuries. Rest your ankle, apply an icepack to cut swelling, and raise your leg. Use crutches to avoid placing weight on it. If pain doesn't ease, see an orthopedist for evaluation and treatment advice.
