Should I have surgery for torn ACL at 52?
Hi I'm 52 yrs old female with torn ACL ligament, worn cartilage and torn meniscus I'm confused wether to go for surgical reconstruction or to go with life style modifications. But without medicines the pain gets aggressive.

Answered on 30th Dec '24
Disrupted ALC, injured cartilage, and torn menisci are often associated with more pain while moving. After all, surgical reconstruction helps in restoring normal function and thus relieving the pain, if all other measures remain unsuccessful. Lifestyle transformation including physical therapy and diet management also will help with symptom relief. A consultation with an orthopedist, who will give you options based on your problem, can be another approach. You should also consult an orthopedist.

I am 21 years old. I have been having a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade for up to four months now
Male | 21
You may have a muscle strain in your left shoulder blade. This happens when you use that muscle a lot or have poor posture. You may feel sharp pain, especially when moving your arm. Try gently stretching and putting ice on the area. Do not do things that make the pain worse. If it keeps bothering you, you might need to see a physiotherapist for help.

My 8 year old daughter recently got diagnosed with a 63 degree thoracic dextro curvature (scoliosis). Will she have to have surgery?
Female | 8
A 63-degree thoracic dextro curve in an 8-year-old is hardly a short one. Your daughter may need surgery at some point, but careful watching is essential. Sometimes, bracing or physical therapy can help. Surgery is usually the last option considered for severe curves or if the curve is worsening rapidly. Hence, let us monitor it and collaborate with the doctors to come up with the best plan.

I'm a volleyball player who had ankle sprains over a year ago I have been having ankle pain and wondering if it was a stress fracture
Female | 15
You might be having a stress fracture in your ankle. A sports activity can sometimes be followed by the bone becoming too stressed and hence, this can happen. Symptoms consist of pain, swelling, and the inability to walk properly. To heal, you'll need rest, ice, raising your foot, and probably a brace. It's good to let it be and let your ankle heal.

I am 19 years old, female. I have been suffering from a clicking sound on my right side jaw for last 5 days. And also I am having problem to open my mouth widely. Is this tmj problem? And what should I do now? Please help sir
Female | 19
You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.

I am 17 year old female. A heavy metal container fell on my knee which caused a lot of bruising. It didn't hurt after that. In June it hurt mildly for a few days then the pain went away. In September the pain came back and it was worse. My knee had swelled up a little, it popped a lot and it hurt a lot continuously for 3 weeks. After that the pain calmed down but I've been having continuous mild knee pain since
Female | 17
It seems like you may have sustained a considerable injury to cause widespread bruising, which was then followed by periods of pain and swelling. Swelling as well as popping can be indications of joint irritation or injury of the surrounding structures, like ligaments or cartilage. Still, sustained minor discomfort may be due to remaining inflammation or strain. Make sure to rest the knee, apply ice, and if need be, use over-the-counter pain relief. If symptoms don't go away or get worse, I suggest visiting an orthopedist for a thorough check-up.

Take medicine for leg pain 10 days. After that 3 or 4 days when eat food feeling nausea and fatigue.. don't know after effect medicine or not when eat lunch rice feel fatigue and nausea
Male | 65
If your belly feels upset after taking medicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tiredness can occur due to certain drugs. When you consume lunch and feel ill, your body reacts to the medication. Ensure hydrating well and eating smaller, lighter meals until you feel better.

After bypass surgery there is significant pain in leg after months of surgery
Male | 75
If you're feeling a lot of pain in your leg months after having bypass surgery, it could be due to a condition called peripheral artery disease. This is a situation in which the blood vessels in your leg are not functioning properly, thus, pain is caused. To help, try to walk periodically as directed, keep your leg elevated as much as possible, and take any prescribed medications. If the pain doesn't go away, tell your surgeon about it.

पैर पर खीचना महसूस होना तथा सुन होना महसूस जैसा लगना
Male | 24
Experiencing a sensation of 'pulling' in your leg is like your nerves telling you something is wrong. This could be due to nerve damage or excessive strain. Identifying any damage or muscle stretching that might be causing these sensations is important. Take a break, use ice for swelling, and gently stretch the area. If there's no improvement, consult an orthopedist for a closer examination.

I am 59 years old and since I started taking Tasigna 200mg, there has been a stiffness in my thumb. I do not know if this is related to the medication, but I have been having a stiffness, twitching, in my thumb, mostly the joints, especially in my knuckle. Sometimes it also spreads to my wrist and other fingers. Also, if it touches anything (the finger) it kind of has a sore and burning sensation.
Female | 59
It seems plausible that the rigidity and spasms evident in your thumb may be indicative of arthritis. Arthritis usually leads to soreness, lack of mobility, as well as a burning sensation felt at the joints around such parts as the knuckles and wrists. This could linked with the Tasigna you’re taking. To alleviate the symptoms of this condition, try doing some easy exercises, using hot or cold packs on the area or discussing potential drug changes with your physician.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.
Male | 27
It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

torn ligaments a few times in r. knee. Knee is very stiff and will not straighten to walk properly.
Female | 77
You may have hurt some of the ligaments in your right knee. This could happen when you twist or injure your knee. Ligament tearing can lead to stiffness and difficulty in straightening your knee properly. Therefore, it is important to rest, apply ice to the knee to reduce swelling, and do gentle exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee. If the pain and stiffness worsen, it is better to see an orthopedist for a check-up.

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.

Spine and leg pain problem
Male | 21
There are several possible reasons why this is happening. Sometimes it happens because of nerve problems in the spine; sometimes it occurs due to muscle strain or injury. To alleviate these discomforts, perform light stretching exercises, apply ice packs or heat pads on the affected area, or take non-prescription painkillers. If these measures fail to provide relief, visit an orthopedist.

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.

Shoulder pain , and less movement while lifting the shoulder
Female | 48
Lifting your arm but feeling shoulder pain isn't great. Sometimes it results from tearing or overstretching a muscle. Frozen shoulder cases involve shoulder joint stiffness and reduced movement. To relieve the soreness, try gently stretching. However, if discomfort lingers, get evaluated by an orthopedist.
