Answered on 23rd May '24

There’s an urgent need for an expert like an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist to inspect the tumor on your mother's arm. Not all tumors develop into cancer, so a thorough investigation is necessary to avoid any malignancy. Once it is confirmed that cancer is present, treatment alternatives can be explored.

I have grinding in my right shoulder (dominant arm) along with accompanying pain at some times. Last year I was playing basketball and after a few weeks of playing some games I developed a pain in said shoulder. I let the pain fade on its own and discovered the grinding (like a bone on bone contact) in my shoulder. I would like to know if it could be serious and if at this point I could do anything about it. I am an athlete and have had tendinitis in my Achilles tendon (ankle) if that helps anything.

Male | 18

Shoulder pain can come­ from shoulder impingement. This me­ans shoulder tendons get pinche­d, resulting in grinding discomfort. Athletes face higher risk due­ to repeated arm motions. Tre­atment options include physical therapy e­xercises to strengthe­n shoulder muscles. Avoid activities worse­ning symptoms. Use ice packs to cut inflammation.

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.

Why do I have loss of lumbar lordosis?

Male | 32

Loss of lumbar lordosis can be caused by various reasons such as mal-alignment of the spine, weak or unbalanced muscles, and obesity, as well as degenerative diseases such as arthritis. The symptoms may be back pain, stiffness, and discomfort. To address this issue, it is crucial to focus on strengthening the core muscles, keeping a healthy weight, and adopting good posture habits. Along with it, physical therapy and regular exercise can also be applied to help regain the neutral position of lumbar lordosis.
