Answered on 27th May '24
Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

there is a lump on my calves i’d like to know what is that
Female | 16
This might be caused by a muscle knot or cyst developing whenever a muscle tightens or a sac fills with fluid. When you touch it, you may feel pain, tenderness, or no symptoms at all. It is important to use warm compresses, massage gently, and perform stretch exercises. If the situation doesn’t improve, seek medical advice for further assessment from an orthopedist

Hello my name is Katie Spencer and I have inflammation in my leg and I have changed my eating habits and I exercise at work and take fish oil and everything was getting better, but now my leg is so stiff when I walk. What could the problem?
Female | 35
Leg stiffness when walking despite improved eating habits, and exercise, could be due to worsened inflammation, muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or joint problems. I would advice you to consult with a orthopedic professional for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment for you..

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you
Female | 33
You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

I am suffering from spine tb. And my doctor advised to take medication for one year and it's going to end this month. But my back still pains and before the diagnosis it used to pain intolerablely. So what can be its reasons. Do I have to take more medication and did my situation improve or deteriorate. I just wanted the provable advice for this. Since there are no reports I feel that the suggestion or probability won't be sure.
Female | 21
Spine TB can lead to lasting discomfort due to spinal damage. Your ongoing pain could stem from infection or harm before treatment started. It's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your doctor for potential further evaluation or care. Additional therapy may help alleviate the issue, so don't fret - schedule a follow-up visit soon.

I’m 63 years old diabetic and suffering from lumbar pain and some related problems arises I have taken treatment from orthopedist since 1 year but it has been raised.
Male | 63
You have lower back pain, despite seeing a specialist for a year. Back troubles come from many causes: age, diabetes, overexerting yourself. Doctors use MRIs to find out why. Managing the discomfort involves easy workouts, good posture, medicines. But listen to your doctor first.

Hello, I had a pain in my right side since last Tuesday night. I went to the urgent care and they did bloodwork, urine sample, and examined me. She said she think it’s a pulled muscle. I still have the pain. It radiates down my leg too
Female | 21
You may have a muscle strain or herniation in the lumbar region of the spine. My advice would be that you have to opt for an orthopedic specialist or a neurosurgeon for a final diagnosis. The doctor can suggest an imaging test such as an MRI or CT scan.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Female | 21
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

I am 23year women,I have 1.6y baby. since 1 week I was facing knee pain, some it's gone but again come, Also I see my period not start, it's 1day late
Female | 23
You seem affected by knee discomfort, yet solutions exist if we collaborate. Numerous factors like trauma, excessive strain, or joint inflammation often contribute. Additionally, menstrual delays can influence bodily functions. Applying warmth locally might alleviate symptoms temporarily. However, if the issue continues, go to an orthopedist.

I am 25 years old and from few days I am feeling like my hand is getting swollen when I wash utensils and it gets numb and feels like my hand is soaking water
Female | 25
It seems you may have the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, making your hand swell and become numb. Washing up may be aggravating it. When you feel like this, you should try to take regular breaks while doing tasks. You could also use a wrist splint to help keep your hand in a better position. If these steps don’t relieve the problem, then it would be a good idea to talk to a orthopedist for more advice.

i’m an 18 year old female i’ve had shoulder pain for 7-8 months ever since a truck hood fell on me it’s cause serious pain and otc medication doesn’t help. i’ve gotten scans but no results back yet.
Female | 18
This may occur due to torn muscles or because the tendons gained injuries. Unrelenting pain might require more therapeutic medications, such as physiotherapy, and it can also go to surgery if the scan shows the result. You took the right path first to have the scans done. Take breaks ask for help, and visit an orthopedist.

Pain in buttock continuously, like irritation, sometime when I sit suddenly pain starts and also pain in poo.
Male | 19
You might be encountering something known as sciatica. The sciatic nerve becomes compressed and causes pain from your lower back down through your buttocks into one or both legs. Sometimes sitting for too long or sudden movements can trigger this. You can try doing some gentle stretches, not sitting down all day, and using heat packs on the area that hurts. If nothing changes after doing these things then it would be best to go see an orthopedic.

Head to shoulder nerves pain
Female | 38
Your head and shoulders seem to hurt. Muscle tension, bad posture, or stress can make this happen. It might also be nerve issues in that area. To ease the pain, try gentle neck stretches. Sit and stand up straight. Use a heating pad on the sore spot. But if it won't go away, see an orthopedist for help.
