It seems your mother is suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD). Symptoms include legs being heavy and stiff, walking being hard, feet being flat and, legs having discomfort. This happens when the arteries in the legs become narrow. To help, gentle exercises like walking, leg raised, use of comfortable shoes, and managing other health conditions can improve the symptoms. Please take her to an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a 19 year old boy I have question regarding bone related. Wheather my growth plates are fused?
Male | 19
Did you know that growth plates are areas at the ends of bones in children and teenagers where growth occurs? But when we stop growing, these growth plates fuse. In boys, this usually happens between the ages of 17 to 19. If you're 19 and not sure if yours have fused, you won't be able to tell without a medical exam. If you're worried, you should probably consider speaking to an orthopedist.

I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz
Male | 43
It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.

Female | 20
Discomfort can manifest through rib pain, shoulder aches, back discomfort on the right side, and challenges in breathing or bending when eating. These indicators could stem from muscle strain, digestive issues, or potential rib injury. For relief, consider resting, applying warmth, and utilizing over-the-counter pain medication. However, if the distress persists, visit an orthopedist.

I have a problem with my lower waist for years now
Male | 18
Back pain comes and goes. But hurting for years is very bad. It might mean you have muscles that are tight or weak. Poor posture or not exercising can cause this problem. Also, sit and stand up straight. Going to a physical therapist can give you exercises to make it better.

I am a 20 year old female I am having shoulder and chest pain form 2 months..
Female | 20
Pain in these muscles can sometimes be caused by muscle overstrain, wrong posture, or even emotional stress. Keep your posture in check, make time for rest from activities that require repetitive motions, and try to learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga. If the pain persists or becomes even more excruciating, you should consult with an orthopedist to get a more thorough examination and advice.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?
Female | 28
I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

Your left hand feels weak. This might be because the nerves in your hand aren’t working properly. One possible cause could be a pinched nerve in your neck or shoulder. It’s a good idea to see an orthopedist to find the exact cause and get the right treatment. Exercise with a physiotherapist or medication may help improve the strength and mobility of your hand.

I had shoulder pain 2 weeks back and I met the ortho who asked me to get MRI done as i could barely move my arm. I have been diagnosed with tendinosis in shoulder. I'm on medication and started physio. I want to know how long will it take to heal. I'm in pain since last evening.
Female | 35
When your shoulder tendons have tendinosis it means they're damaged. Doing too much with your arms or just getting older can cause it. The time it takes to get better is different for everybody. As long as you take the medicine and do the physio that should help. Pain can come and go while you're getting better, so don't worry if it starts hurting again. Feel better!

Female | 19
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, can produce clicking sounds when you open your mouth. Nervous habits such as teeth grinding, stress or jaw misalignment may contribute to this. Many cases can be treated without surgery. Simple exercises for the jaw, hot/cold packs, and elderly eating are some of the treatments that might result in improvement. If your symptoms continue to worsen, you should get in contact with an orthopedist.
