I am 20 years old man andi dislocated by ring finger while playing cricket, i think its broken and i can't bend my finger
Male | 20
It might be true if you have been suffering pain, looking at the swelling, and unable to bend the finger. A difficult event such as a strong impact or force is usually the reason for its occurrence. At this point, you should cease all activities, place ice on the area, and raise your hand. Medical attention by an orthopedist must be given so that the treatment will be done correctly.

Why does my achilles tendon hurt after running?
Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.
The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

L4&L5 spine operation totally amount
Female | 58
You are referring to an operation on the L4 and L5 spine. These two areas are a part of your lower back. Sometimes people might need an operation there if they have severe back pain, weakness in the legs, or numbness. This is usually the cause of the herniated disc which presses on the nerves in the spine. The operation can help relieve the pressure on the nerves and thus, reduce the pain and other symptoms. It's good to discuss with a spine surgeon if this operation is the right choice for you.

My son whois 12 yrs old had fractured his rightleg two months back and his plaster was removed after 6 weeks but till now he is not able to walk properly.He takes first step and slowly slowly another step.He has no pain .Is this something to worry about?when can he play football or cycling?please help.Should I massage his leg
Male | 12
It's good that your kid's leg healed from the break. After the cast comes off, walking right may be hard. That happens because the leg muscles get weaker when in a cast. Have him walk more daily. Given time, he should play football or cycle normally again. Massaging his leg gently might help strengthen those muscles. If walking still troubles him, see an orthopedist.

Hello doctor My name is Santosh I fall when I'm going to down with stairs first I will no pain but 9 years later my knee has very pain can you give me
Female | 60
You may have done a number on your knee with that accident from when you fell down the stairs nine years ago. You could be feeling the pain of that older wound now. Common symptoms of a knee injury are pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. You can attack the pain by first resting your leg, applying cold, and taking pain medication if needed. If the pain continues, it's best to consult a orthopedist, for examination and treatment.

I am 30 year old man having pain in left leg near calf for 2 months I think I test for colour Doppler
Male | 30
One of the reasons for this might be the improper flow of blood through your leg, but there are a lot of different causes for this at the same time. A color Doppler is a test that can be done, in general, to detect any abnormalities. The most important thing is to visit an orthopedist who will diagnose and treat you properly, so don't take this lightly.

I’m 56 year old lady. I have pain in left hand since last 2 months. My Vitamin D recent one week ago test shows value 23.84 Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? Please guide.
Female | 56
Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.

im 17 Feeling numbness and can’t feel pain only when I sit lower back it started a few days ago I can’t feel my body and when I lay down I forget to breath
Male | 17
Hey there! Those symptoms seem worrying. Numbness and not feeling pain in your lower back, plus forgetting to breathe when lying down, could mean nerve issues. A pinched nerve or poor circulation to your back may cause this. Try changing how you sit, doing gentle stretches, and consciously taking deep breaths when lying down. But, it's important to talk to an orthopedist for an exam and advice.

I got a bruised toe I can barely lift it, it hurts if I try to lift it I was wondering if it's broken
Female | 32
You may have a broken toe. Dropping something heavy on the toe or stubbing it hard can cause a broken toe. Symptoms of a sprained toe include pain, bruising, and difficulty moving the toe. To be sure, you should get an X-ray at a clinic or hospital. Icing, resting, and keeping the toe safe from injury will give relief to the pain.

I have pain in the ring finger of my left hand, I also have a lot of pain in my left leg, I also have pain in the nerves of my hips and this pain goes from the back to the neck, goes all over the back, and I also have pain under my left breast and feel very weak in the abdominal area.
Female | 17
You have been suffering from severe pain and discomfort in many parts of your body. The discomfort in your fingers, legs, hips, back, neck, and the area under your breast, besides a loss of strength in your abdominal area, can be nerve problems or an injured muscle. It is paramount for an orthopedist to thoroughly check and give an exact diagnosis to receive the correct treatment for your symptoms.

Had an MRI and was told "There is mild chondral thinning, joint space narrowing involving the fourth and fifth TMT joints with some subtle subarticular bony oedema both sides of the fourth TMT joint." This is after 5 months of having an injury, I feel a lot of swelling in my extensor digitorium brevis (oedema) in my right foot, but this week I started feeling the same feelings in my left foot, I need some guidance or help please because it's difficult to do physical activity with and it's swelling whenever at rest.
Male | 21
The MRI results closest show some mild desquamation of the joints, which may cause swelling and pain. The swelling in your extensor digitorum brevis muscle could be possibly related to the joint issues. Avoid these movements at first, put ice on them, and try stretches that don't need a lot of force. Besides that, you might notice a difference if you wear supportive shoes.

Female | 30
It sounds like you're experiencing severe pain in both your neck and back. The MRI results indicate that some discs in your spine are pressing on your nerves, causing this ongoing pain. This could be due to the gradual wear and tear of the discs over time. See an orthopedist to discuss treatment options and help manage your pain effectively. It's important to follow your doctor's advice closely to aid in your recovery process.

wrist pain alternating between both wrists, lower back pain, knee pains resembling bruising above the knees and sometimes bruise like pain in the thighs and sharp hip pain all the way to the foot (like a pulled string feeling) - most are often after overuse (phone, walking, sleeping wrong). They don’t always happen at once but sometimes all together. Other discomforts involve stabbing pain inside the foot from under when walking for too long, finger joint pains usually worse the second day after overuse and shoulder and elbow pains after sleeping slightly wrong or overuse. Occasional Tingling/numbness in fingers (I can’t feel my fingers for a few seconds sometimes) and most often stiffness in finger joints occur in the mornings. Occasionally, affected areas exhibit slight redness and warmth. Recently I’ve found that stretching the pained areas helps a lot. General tiredness persists. These symptoms have persisted for nearly a year, fluctuating in severity. There haven't been any major accidents. Tests * anti ds dna is negative * HLA-B27 is negative * Ana is positive — * RF factor negative. * Knee X-Ray shows some cartilage thinning * MRI done: report says Signal loss due to degeneration was observed in the L4-5 disc * vitamin d3 at 28
Female | 24
Your body experiences a variety of aches in areas like your wrists, lower back, knees, thighs, hips, feet, fingers, shoulders, and elbows. You may also feel tingling sensations and stiffness. ANA results suggest possible autoimmune issues and low vitamin D levels contribute to bone and muscle pain. An MRI has shown spine degeneration, likely causing some of your symptoms. It's essential to consult a orthopedist to address these concerns.

Male | 39
You have encountered synovitis after your meniscus surgery. Synovitis is the condition where the lining of the joint gets swollen and hurtful. Surgery can cause this because of inflammation or irritation of the joint. Synovitis can be managed with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications which are the best methods. If the issue does not go away, visit your orthopedic specialist for more examination and treatment alternatives.
