Back pain and 1 leg ???? infection
Female | 58
One leg infection and back pain are two things that should not be taken lightly. There could be many causes for the back pain, and it could be a muscular problem. An infection in the leg presents with redness, warmth, and pain in the infected area. If left untreated, this type of infection may spread to other parts of the body causing more serious problems. It is important to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.

I came back from gym I stuffed 2 pounds and 1 50 in my sock I left it and the shoes pressed the coins against the skin (I ignored it) when I came back from gym I saw when I took my socks off my feet had circles where the coins were and it was blue is it meaning I will get cancer I’m worried I washed the colour off but there still is some left
Male | 18
Bruises, like the one from coins pressing against your feet, happen when tiny blood vessels break. The skin turns purple or blue from leaking blood underneath. These usually fade away on their own after some time. Just be careful not to put more pressure there. The bruise should go away without issues. However, let an orthopedist know if you see anything concerning.

I am 18 year old Girl suffering from lower back pain for 3 years My latest MRI report says i have slip disk problem the medicine i am taking is working as painkillers only the pain is insufferable... Its will be good to know your thoughts on my condition.
Female | 18
I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Slip disc can cause severe discomfort, and painkillers only provide temporary relief. It's important to consult an orthopedic doctor or a spine specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper treatment plan. They can guide you on exercises, lifestyle changes, or other therapies to manage your condition effectively.

Sir, my uric acid was high and pain in my leg joint after taking medicine febuxostat 80 mg it comes normal 5.5 but still I have pain in my joint, I am taking zero dol pain killer also. So pls guide
Male | 35
It’s possible that the high uric acid caused damage to your joint before going down. This can lead to lingering pain. You are doing well by taking a febuxostat and a painkiller. Rest the joint, apply ice, and try gentle exercises to strengthen the area. If the pain continues, see an orthopedist for further advice.

Shin discomfort while jogging might result from several factors, such as working your shins too much, jogging on solid ground, or not putting on proper shoes. Rest your legs, apply ice packs, and think about wearing adequately cushioned footwear when you experience this type of soreness. If the pain does not go away, consider consulting with an orthopedist.

My mother was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2014. She was operated on and given 12 of chemotherapy. Now she is cancer free but she has some side effect of chemotherapy on her leg due to which her leg is cramp which doctor should she see for treatment?
Female | 60
The cramping in her leg could be a side effect of the chemotherapy she received. This is called peripheral neuropathy, which is a very common problem. Among the symptoms are pain, tingling, and muscle weakness. She should make an appointment with a neurologist for an evaluation and the doctor can find out what could be the possible treatments. In the meanwhile, mild flexing and massaging of the painful leg might be of benefit in the spasm reduction.

Hey, what I’d like to check is what the implications are that I seem to have symptoms developing after having the first vaccine. The bite mark has swelled and is itchy/prickly. The muscles in the affected leg feel tired and heavy. Might be totally unrelated but I woke up today with the hamstring in the other leg feeling pulled, I don’t think I was doing anything that would pull it. Facts are - I was lightly bitten by a wild dog on the evening of the 15th. By noon of the 16th I had the vaccine (Rabivax-S). Since then the symptoms above have appeared around the bite mark.
Female | 25
Swelling and itching near the bite, tired legs, and muscle heaviness are likely due to the dog bite and the vaccine. Your body might be overreacting to the vaccine. The hamstring pain in the other leg may not be related to the bite or vaccine. Use cold compresses and OTC antihistamines for itching and pain. Rest your legs and avoid physical activity to ease fatigue. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Ensure rabies prevention by following your doctor’s advice.

Female | 22
When your side hurts badly, reaching up to your back with stabbing, pinching pain, several issues may cause it. A strained muscle, kidney stones, or pancreas problems could be reasons. To identify the cause, you should visit an orthopedist. They'll examine you and recommend treatment.

My mother is 48 years old shes suffering from arthritis from 12 years please help me She sometimes complain that her arm and nerves inside her stomach paining and she also complain that nerves inside her stomach getting to blossom
Female | 48
Your mother appears to be suffering from arthritis for a long time. The pain in her arm may be caused by joint inflammation which indicates that it’s a nerve problem if she experiences discomfort in the stomach too. When people have arthritis, sometimes they undergo a situation where nerves get affected hence feeling pain in different body parts apart from those with affected joints. To minimize the pain she is going through she should do gentle exercises, use warm towels if possible, and get drugs prescribed by a physician.

Back of the feet something
Male | 15
Feeling some pain at the back of your feet can be Achilles tendinitis. Signs are swelling, stiffness, and aching. This happens when too much use or injury causes inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. To relieve the discomfort rest, apply ice packs, and do gentle stretching exercises. Supportive footwear will also help. However, if the pain persists do not hesitate to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.
