Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

As for your mother's complaints of painful joints, which are aggravated by activity and relieved by rest, they can be interpreted as potential signs of arthritis. Arthritis is a disease that is characterized by swelling and pain in the joints. Therefore, you need to consult a rheumatologist for further treatment. A rheumatologist is a doctor who specializes in the treatment of arthritis and other joint problems. They can assist in determining the origin of the discomfort and enable the correct therapy to be administered that will aid in the alleviation of the signs.

I'm 17 years old. My man. I had joint and muscle pain, especially in the neck, for a while. There is pain in the neck, elbow joints, arm muscles, wrist and fingers, and the bone between the elbow and hand. However, what is disturbing is the leg pain. It starts from the waist and hips and goes towards the feet. The most severe pain is the left upper leg, thigh and knee. I have pain in the calves of both my feet. Even my toes hurt. I have a burning and stinging sensation in my left upper leg. And worst of all, I have extreme weakness and fatigue. I can never open my eyes in the morning, I can't even wake up, I'm always tired. The pediatrician looked at it 1 month ago. At that time, there were no such severe symptoms, there was some joint pain and fatigue. He did a detailed blood test and nothing came up. Just this CRP 10 The doctor didn't say anything and we never went back. What diseases can it be a symptom of? Could it be a sign of leukemia? Someone said it. But my family thought I was exaggerating everything, so I didn't say anything to them again about going to the hospital. I just want to know your opinion What do you think it could be? I'm sorry for keeping you busy

Widespread muscle and joint aches with fatigue could mean fibromyalgia. It causes burning sensations too. Though leukemia seems scary, fibromyalgia fits these symptoms. But don't worry, an orthopedist can investigate the cause properly. They'll suggest suitable treatment options after examining you thoroughly.

Helo im 23 year old female i went gym for 4 months now im having left shoulder pain 1 week

Female | 23

Muscle overuse, tiredness, or wrong position during the exercise are among the main reasons for the pain in the left shoulder. The typical symptoms may include pain while moving, loss of flexibility, or general discomfort. To ease this, try to get a bit of rest and do the RICE treatment, which includes icing the area and gently stretching. Focus on mastering the technique of the exercise and only then increase the time and intensity. You can consult an orthopedist so they can list the appropriate therapy options and follow-up, which you can use to return to your usual training program.

Dislocated my shoulder 2 weeks ago snowboarding. All pain is gone and range of motion is fine but I can now slide my shoulder back and forth by pressing with my opposite hand in a way the I can’t in my other shoulder. Thoughts?

Male | 19

I have a feeling that you might have a dislocated shoulder with shoulder instability. However, the fact that your pain is gone is only one of the things to worry about as the slipping of your shoulder back and forth is also alarming. You should see an orthopedic surgeon.

After jaw surgery, it’s recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before resuming chewing solid foods. This allows your jaw to heal properly and minimizes the risk of complications. However, recovery times can vary based on individual factors, so it's crucial to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions. For personalized advice, consult your dentist.

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 have very much pain in my left leg

Female | 20

Experiencing significant discomfort in your leg can stem from various causes, such as muscle strain, injury, or issues with circulation. Symptoms might include swelling, tenderness, or difficulty moving the limb. To alleviate the discomfort, resting, applying ice, and elevating the leg can be beneficial. Over-the-counter pain relief may also help ease your symptoms. However, I recommend consulting an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation to ensure appropriate treatment and to rule out any serious conditions.

Female | 5

It’s important to understand that your symptoms, including back pain, numbness, and discomfort in your feet and abdomen, could be related to various conditions, such as nerve irritation or muscular issues. Relief may often be found through gentle stretching, applying heat, or over-the-counter pain relievers. However, considering the duration and combination of your symptoms, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare professional. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailored treatment plan, ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your situation. Take care, and seeking professional advice is a smart step towards relief.

Dear Sir/Madam,I live in Iran.My mother has fallen to the ground, and hurt her hip. Her pain has reduced a lot since more than 2 weeks ago (January 27th), but she still feels pain. She says it's about 8% of the pain she felt 2 weeks ago. What can we do to reduce her pain? She refuses to go to the doctors.She is 70 years old, has severe osteoporosis, blood pressure, mild cardiac arrhythmia, and acid reflux. Famotidine, Amlodipine, Bisoprolol, Chlorediazepoxide. She used to have Calcium supplements. Never had any treatments for Osteoporosis, not that I remember.

Female | 70

Given her age and existing health conditions, it's important to address her hip discomfort carefully. Encourage gentle movement or physical therapy exercises tailored for osteoporosis to enhance mobility and strength. Additionally, applying heat or cold packs may provide relief. Since she has not received specific treatment for osteoporosis, consider discussing calcium and vitamin D supplements with her if she hasn't been taking them regularly. While I understand her reluctance, an orthopedist can offer targeted advice and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

I have low back pain for 10 days now and it's my only symptom. My pain started as a light pain and now progressed. When I sit – it hurts but it goes away after some time, when I find good position. I can't bend over. When I lay down, I find a position which suits me the best and the pain also goes away when I'm laying calm. It hurts when I'm walking. What should I do? Do I need to be worried? Painkillers don't help much

Female | 29

You're likely feeling low back discomfort that worsens when seated, bending, or walking. This kind of ache can stem from strained muscles, poor posture, or spinal issues. Gentle stretches, applying cold or warmth, and avoiding aggravating activities are crucial. However, if the pain lingers or intensifies, consulting an orthopedist is advisable.

Male | 62

Spinal surgery costs depend principally on the kind of procedure, place, and patient health status. However, the most common reasons including chronic pain, herniated discs, or spinal deformities are the disorders that people go for surgeries. These include treatments that focus on the primary issue, which may also involve a hospital stay. You should get a comprehensive check-up with an orthopedist first so you will know what to do.

Hi I broke my finger in turkey and the doctor said that I might have a surgery can you please check my x ray if my finger is that bad do I have to be operated

Male | 16

Signs of a broken finger include swelling, pain, and difficulty when trying to move the finger. Sometimes, such injuries could be the result of a few falls or sports accidents. A surgery could be necessary if the fractured part is displaced or includes a joint. My preference goes to you getting in contact with a specialist after the X-ray to be able to talk throughout treatments. Rather than going for more complex therapies, you can use a cast that your local medical facility can get you as of now, to stabilize the area till you go and see an orthopedist.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb

Male | 26

You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

You're dealing with significant lower back pain, which can be caused by muscle strain, a bulging disc, or poor posture. This pain might feel sharp, dull, or achy, making it hard to move.

Male | 31

You are describing muscle pain caused by poor posture in the middle of your upper back. There are a lot of possible diseases, such as bad posture, muscle overuse, or muscle surgery. The next common reason may be correlated with acid reflux or heartburn. To relieve your symptoms, try to adjust your sitting position, do gentle stretching exercises, and not eat foods that bother you with acidity. If you are still experiencing pain, visit an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Sound from joints specially from leg joint Black line on the nails now spreading on other nails also Dark eye circles

Male | 20

Two things seem to trouble you. Let's address them one by one. Your leg joints are making sounds, which is normal. It happens when air bubbles pop or tendons slide over bones. The black lines spreading on your nails could indicate a skin condition or lack of nutrients. Lack of sleep, stress, or allergies may cause dark circles under eyes. To improve these, eat a nutrient-rich diet. Manage stress well. Get adequate sleep. Moisturize nails. If issues persist, consult an orthopedist.
