Your mom has developed bedsores. Sores that hurt on her hips and tailbone. They occur when someone stays still too long. These red, aching spots form from pressure. Not shifting positions frequently causes them. Hard surfaces enable bedsores' formation too. Poor circulation is another factor. To heal bedsores, follow steps. Help your mom change positions regularly. Keep affected regions dry, clean. Use cushions or pads. They reduce pressure on sores.

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.

The vibrations on the left leg that you feel might be a symptom of nerve irritation. This might be a problem due to many various causes, such as the inflammation or the pressure on the nerves.

I’m suffering from a severe cold with a headache and particularly intense pain in the back of my neck. It’s causing me trouble when bending, getting up, and even eating. Could you recommend some medication for me? I took LCZ 5mg this morning, but it hasn’t provided relief.Also I have slight cough and a sensation in my nose.

Male | 39

Your symptoms suggest sinusitis. Inflamed sinuses cause headaches, neck pain, coughs, congestion, runny noses. Over-the-counter ibuprofen reduces pain, inflammation. Drinking fluids, using humidifiers eases discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor promptly.

I got recently surgery for my femur hip on right side I'm in bed rest now but my left hip is also hurting from few days don't know why is this a serious condition

Female | Aruna

This can be one of the situations, when the other hip might feel some pain because it takes over the bigger role of supporting your body while your operation-induced leg is at rest. Don't forget about changing positions and doing small exercises for your left hip to avoid stiffness. Nonetheless, if the severity of the pain grows or the situation doesn't vanish, connect with your orthopedist.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road

Female | 22

I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.
