Is hypermobility causing my yoga stretches to hurt?
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?

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.

I have had patellar tendon repair surgery 3 weeks ago . I am now experiencing a burning sensation and tenderness does this mean the tendon has retorn or is this normal
Female | 26
It is a common issue among patients after the patellar tendon repair to have to deal with a burning sensation and tenderness. This may inflammation or irritation in the specific area of the operation as it is healing. These signs are normally a part of the healing process and are not the right indication of the recurrence of the tendon. To relieve the pain, you can wrap your leg with an elastic bandage and put it on the top of the pillows. Strictly follow your post-op care instructions and attend the follow-up appointments to let your doctor track your recovery.

I have pain from neck to scrotum How can I control
Male | 23
You have plenty of tension from your neck and to your lower area. This type of pain can be the result of your spine or even your nerve's faultiness. Shooting pain, tingling, or numbness might be the symptoms of this area. To deal with the pain it is important to do stretches, have good posture, and use ice or heat packs on the sore areas. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist for the right treatment.

I have small lamp in my shoulder for 5 years and now i experience some pain when im carrying something
Female | 26
Discomfort when lifting could point to the tension or inflammation of the muscles and tissues surrounding them. The most frequent reasons are abuse injuries or sudden alterations in the activity levels. Your body's expression is important; if the pain doesn't go away, you should consider avoiding heavy loads during the workouts and going in favor of light stretching or strengthening exercises only. Ice application could also be used to manage discomfort. Yet for a full examination, you should consult an orthopedist.

Index finger ki upar pain ho raha hai
Female | 21
Suppose your index finger experienced pain at the top, several explanations are possible: excessive typing or from activities like tossing a frisbee. At times, such pain might be due to an infection or injury. Give your finger rest and steer clear of the activities causing the pain to worsen. The application of ice packs can significantly reduce swelling and aches as well. If the pain doesn't get better or even becomes sharper, consult with an orthopedist.

Male | 31
It is difficult to estimate the cost without knowing the severity of your injury and the treatment required. You can also visit hospitals that provide stem cell therapy and discuss your options with the specialists and getting a detailed cost breakdown, insurance coverage before proceeding with any treatment.

Pain left thigh since Oct 2022. I fell down from an e-rickshaw while boarding on it. One leg on the rickshaw and another on the ground and I was dragged for about two meters until I fell on the ground. Since then got this pain.
Female | 55
Your left thigh pain since last October might be from that fall. Typical signs are aches, swelling, and leg troubles. You likely strained or bruised thigh muscles during impact. Try resting, icing the spot, and gentle stretches. But if there is no improvement or worse pain, it's wise to visit an orthopedist. They'll check and properly treat the injury.

I’m 61 knee pain foot pain being of 42 osteoarthritis and need to loose weight quickly finding mobility getting worse
Female | 61
Given your age and history of osteoarthritis, it is most likely caused by the wear and tear on your joints. Losing some weight gradually with a healthy diet could relieve the pressure on the knees. Additionally, physical therapy may enhance flexibility while building up muscles around these areas.

She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture
Female | 54
If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

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
Erkek | 17
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.
