Understanding Rheumatoid Factor Arthritis: Symptoms and Treatment
Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem

Answered on 2nd Aug '24
Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

Female | 22
The popping sound and pain in both your upper and lower left abdomen might indicate harm done to organs or tissues in that area. Trouble with breathing could also be linked with this; so could the feeling of heaviness in one or both legs. You must visit an orthopedist who will carry out a thorough examination before prescribing treatment methods aimed at arresting these developments.

I have been suffering from stiff elbow post injury.. no fracture but ligament tear. I have been advised physiotherapy and have been undergoing it since 4months. But no improvement. Should I consult a neurologist for this?? I have consulted number of orthopaedic doctors
Female | 37
The challenge posed by a stiff elbow following an injury can be daunting, particularly when physical therapy fails to yield substantial improvements. A pinched nerve sometimes occurs, which is hard to admit. If your arm is still hurting and you want to find a solution, a neurologist is one of the doctors who could offer the right advice in addition to your treatment plan. They can view the problem and also find an effective way to release your tension.

My father is diabetic and takes insulin every day. For the past few months, he has been unable to walk for more than a few minutes. He has no problem standing for long while traveling in buses or walking up and down stairs. He has no knee pain but feels cramps in his calf muscles whenever he starts walking for more than 2 minutes. Around 3 years ago, he also lost a lot of weight and has never gained it back. He is 5.7ft and weighs less than 50 kgs. Is an orthopedic the right specialist to visit for treatment? What could be the causes behind his symptoms and how can they be treated? Does he need physiotherapy?
Male | 57
Your dad's walking problems and leg pains could signal restricted blood flow. This condition, peripheral artery disease, makes walking hard. Your dad losing weight and unable to walk well is worrying. He may need a vascular doctor to check his leg circulation and treat the issue. Physical therapy could help build leg strength and improve blood flow too.

I am having frozen shoulder for last 4 months there is no pain but the shoulder is stiff cannot move up is there any creme for frozen shoulder relief
Male | 48
This happens when tissues around the shoulder joint get tight. It can make arm movement hard. No pain is good, but the stiffness can bother you. There is no cream just for frozen shoulder relief. But easy stretches and physical therapy can loosen the shoulder over time. It is key to move the shoulder as much as you can without pushing too much. If stiffness remains, get advice from an orthoopedist.

17 - suspected broken ankle after a fall from dismounting a horse. Landed on an already weak ankle and heard an audibe crack (mum heard it from 4m away. It is swollen, isolated bruising on the ankle bone and sore to touch this part. Am abke to bear small amounts of weight into the joint however flexing and twisting the ankle is very painful
Female | 17
This could indicate a serious ankle injury, possibly a fracture. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention to determine the extent of the damage and receive proper treatment. Rest, elevate your leg, and apply ice in the meantime, but prioritize getting medical help as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.

Ive been having severe neck and shoulder pain radiating down my leg on my left side for a couple weeks now. Nothing has been able to relieve the pain. Im having trouble walking and sitting down or rolling over while i sleep. I have no knowledge of hurting myself or straining anything.
Female | 28
You're possibly dealing with sciatica. That occurs when a nerve gets pinched in your lower back area. Neck and shoulder discomfort could stem from muscle tension or strain. Gentle stretches, warm baths, and OTC pain meds may provide relief. However, if the pain lingers, see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

When you're sick, your body fights a virus, leading to symptoms like fever, aches, runny nose, and cough. To recover, rest, drink fluids, and take it easy. If needed, use over-the-counter meds for relief.

I got fracture on ankel. it will completed 14days can I walk slowly
Male | 20
Let me suggest that you never move any weight on your ankle until it is completely healed. Even slow walking puts too much pressure on the fracture, and it can still cause more injury.Please follow your doctor's advice

Generally, surgery is the first thing among older people with a broken hip that is used to help with healing and mobility.

Having pain on fracture area I have kept my finger straight for one month.
Male | 15
You are going through a lot of pain in the area where you had a fracture and kept your finger straight for one month. This pain may be due to stiffness or weakness in the muscles around the fracture site. To help with this, you can gently do some simple finger exercises to improve movement and strength. Remember to go slowly and stop if you feel any sharp pain.

I'm a 18 year old female and I've been having cramps in my left hand, mainly from elbow under to wrist and my fingers feel kind of stiff. It happened for the first time 3/4 days ago and went away automatically in about 20 mins. It happened twice today and again went on it's own. Nothing done to trigger it. A bit of neck pain. Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache. I can't call it painful as it does not cause pain but a bit uncomfortable.
