Iam 24 year old female. I had a neckpain 2months ago and doctor gave me anti inflammatory and pain killers for a week. After completing it came worse again. Next doctor gave me moxikind cv 625 and it got cooled. Along with headache i gave eye vision problem
Female | 24
Some of these signs can sometimes be connected. Neck pain may lead to tension headaches which in turn might affect one’s vision. Maintaining a good posture, taking regular screen breaks, and performing exercises that strengthen the muscles of the neck and back can be beneficial. However, it is important to speak to an orthopedist should these symptoms persist.

Hello! My name is Sergey, and I am a close acquaintance of the patient who has sent you this inquiry regarding consultation for implantation. The patient is 37 years old and sustained an injury 6 years ago due to the fall of a heavy object. Several surgeries were performed, and the amputation of the left big toe was carried out. In this regard, we would like to inquire if you have a solution for this issue. We are interested in proceeding with the procedure of implanting an artificial toe with load-bearing functionality. Best regards!
Male | 37
One balance and mobility issue that might arise with a patient losing their toe is that they would have an imbalance. We know the pain and suffering that occurs after such an injury, and the patients are aware of this too. For the patients, your friend, and people such as him, artificial toe prosthetics have been developed which could give back some of the lost functions. A fake toe is sure to offer load-bearing support and improve the overall quality of life. We suggest a consultation with some orthopedic prosthesis field experts so that they can discuss with you which alternative is the right one for your friend. By such a means of professional advice, the best solutions will be gained.

Male | 38
Sometimes shoulder pain spreads to both arms, signalling an issue. This includes shoulder and arm aching, stiffness, and moving troubles. It causes range from strained muscles to pinched nerves or heart concerns. For relief, rest your arms, use ice, gently stretch, and take pain meds. But seek medical help from an orthopedist if the pain continues.

Knee pain due to basketball
Male | 13
Knee pain is common in basketball players. It can happen from running, jumping, or twisting your knee repeatedly. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. Causes include overuse, lifting weights incorrectly, and not warming up properly. To help your knee recover, reduce activity, apply ice, and do graded exercises. For more serious conditions, seeing an orthopedist is crucial. Treating pain early is the best approach.

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?
Female | 19
It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

Having pain in right hand wrist
Female | 17
This type of pain is usually due to things like over-use injury or even arthritis. The wrist is a complicated joint, so the discomfort can be caused by many reasons. To help, you can try resting your wrist, using ice packs, and doing gentle stretches. If the pain persists, it's wiser to consult an orthopedist.

Hi sir my kid is 18 months old his right leg is in curve shape while walking the foot is inside
Male | 18 months
Your child may have a condition called intoeing, where the foot turns inward while walking. This is quite common in young children and usually corrects itself as they grow. However, to ensure proper development, consult a pediatric orthopedic specialist. They can assess the condition and suggest any necessary treatment or exercises.

I have been having joint pain in my legs for the past 5-6 years, but it is getting worse now. Uric acid in my blood test. It gradually gets better after taking painkillers. I was taking Fabusin 40 once for a month. It happened again after three months. What can be done? My body is itching more or less at night.
Male | 50
It's understandable to be concerned about your worsening leg discomfort that has persisted for several years. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to conditions like gout, which may contribute to joint pain. It’s good that pain relief is achieved with medications. Consider discussing with an orthopedist about adjusting your treatment, possibly re-evaluating medications like Fabusin, and exploring lifestyle changes, such as dietary adjustments to lower uric acid. The itching at night may require further investigation. Regular check-ups are essential for appropriate management.

It seems you hurt your knee. Swelling is frequently an indication of inflammation. Rest, elevate and ice should be applied to the affected area. It is essential to consult an orthopedic physician for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I have an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my left and right leg, and two on the small toes of the left leg. Four in total. I have three questions regarding the same: 1) Will all four toes be operated on the same day? 2) Will it be done under General Anaesthesia? 3) Can I resume a Work from Home job two days after the surgery?I appreciate your time and response. Thank you.
Male | 24
Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.

Female | 20
This is a situation where the discs that act as cushions to separate the spinal bones slip out of position and eventually start compressing the neighboring nerve roots. This condition could cause pain in the back as well as difficulty in sitting or bending. Some measures like soft movements of the body, hot and cold compresses, or physical therapy may be helpful. If these treatments do not work, you can consult an orthopedist for further treatments.

Hello, I fell on some stairs yesterday and landed straight on my hip. I was able to get up and walk, but the pain became really bad after about 30 minutes. I couldn’t and still can’t put any weight on my left fod. My hip is not swollen and not bruised. I have been taking pain meds but it is not helping. What should I do
Female | 22
It's possible that you may have sustained an injury to your hip or surrounding area. Seek medical attention from an orthopedic in this situation, especially if the pain is severe and you are unable to bear weight on your left foot.

I don't have any disease, I also did blood test but nothing wrong in the report but I have very little swelling in my left ankle which goes away in the morning or when I rest but comes back and also when I press my legs mid upper bone it makes a small dent ,I think it's fluid retention or high salt intake or due to heat or long sitting and standing, please suggest me because I am having anxiety due to this.
Female | 27
It's good to hear that your blood tests are normal, but the swelling in your ankle and the dent in your leg might still need attention. This could be due to fluid retention, high salt intake, or prolonged sitting and standing. I recommend visiting a general physician or a vascular specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address your anxiety as well, and they can guide both.

Male | 25
Dehydration and bulging are exacerbating disc changes causing muscle spasms to occur along the spine. That is why you get to feel pain, and stiffness, and the nerves are more sensitive. The possible fixes involve some physical therapy procedures, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, if necessary, cor searches for tumor syndrome. Then things such as upright posture, free movement exercises, and heat therapy will also be beneficial. Please make sure that you visit an orthopedist consultation, and personalized treatment for you is also necessary.
