Is Ice Pack and Volini Enough For A Leg Injury?
Today, my father injured his leg with a rod from a moving bike. Thankfully, the injury is not severe, but his leg is swollen and painful. We are applying an ice pack and using Volini spray. There is no redness, numbness, wound, or cut. A few days ago, he also experienced muscle cramps in the same leg. I'm very worried. Could you please advise me on what to do next?

A muscle injury may have developed in your father due to the impact of a rod striking his leg. This type of injury often results in swelling and pain as well. The muscle cramps he had earlier may be linked to this incident. Continue applying the ice pack and using Volini spray for swelling and pain relief. Prevent him from exposing his leg to any extra tension and ensure he does not move his injured leg. If the pain remains or gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

i am a 30 year old female, every morning for the last 5 days i have been waking up and not been able to move my fingers there is no swelling but i is very painful and tight
Female | 30
You seem to have symptoms of trigger finger. In this case, the finger gets into a bent position and it becomes impossible to straighten out. I suggest you see an orthopedist who is expert in hand and wrist injuries. They will identify the problem and a corresponding treatment method.

I am 39 years old female. I have always been very active growing up, doing softball, martial arts, basketball etc. I blew my right ACL in my knee in 2009 and got it fixed. However, in the last 6 months I've noticed that I have been hurting A LOT in my joints, lower back, and left hip. Like, if I am up on my feet more than like 30 to 40 min and sit down my lower back and left hip hurt pretty bad and it is a deep pain like in the bones and joints. Would this be arthritis related, inflammation from arthritis from my years of being active....? I have also noticed that I get small random bruising here and there from time to time and not recall why. If I sit for like 30 min and go to stand up, I have to stand up slow bc my lower back hurts so bad it takes me a few min to be able to straighten my back out as well.

You are faced with some pain as a result of arthritis connected to an old knee injury together with your ongoing active life. Inflammation due to arthritis may lead to the feeling you’re experiencing. To get better, indulge in light workouts, try out cold and hot therapy, or even take some drugs or visit an orthopedist.

Hello. Please I had a mid shaft humerus fracture in my left arm about two weeks ago. A cast was made on it, but I have been having shake feeling/ swing feeling in the fracture spot lately. I want to know if that feeling is normal and when the feeling stop. Thank you
Male | 20
If your arm is broken, it may feel wobbly or loose at the site of the fracture. This sensation occurs because the bones are mending themselves and trying to realign. Such feelings can last for several weeks. Ensure that you raise your arm above the level of your heart and refrain from putting any weight on it. In case this feeling doesn’t improve or becomes worse, let your orthopedist know.

I was suffering from lower back pain. X-ray report says Osteoporosis with visualized endplate sclerosis. Please suggest.
Male | 28
I am sorry to say this, but the information provided is not sufficient, with X-ray it is difficult to diagnose osteoporosis.
Please provide detailed history for further diagnosis. You can reach out to me or any doctor from the following page - Rheumatologists in India.

I got my knee patella dislocated for first time 2 weeks ago and today my plaster got dispatched. My knee has swelling is it due to plaster? And I am not able to bend it I am able to stand properly on both legs but while walking my knee can’t hold my weight properly. Will this automatically take time to be normal or should I do some exercises? And what to do to reduce swelling?
Male | 19
Swelling after causing a dislocated patella is usual. The plaster may play a part in the swelling, however, the major reason behind the injury is. Difficulty bending and walking are expected early on. As the knee mends, this will improve slowly over time. Light exercises your orthopedist suggests can stretch and strengthen your knee. Resting, elevating your leg, applying ice packs, and taking prescribed medications if necessary to reduce swelling will be helpful.

Pain in my neck like a popping sound burns as if acid was thrown
Female | 16
These signs could be from swelling in your neck joints or muscles. At times stress or bad posture can cause these kinds of discomfort, too. To help yourself feel better, you should try doing light neck stretches, putting hot packs on, and keeping good posture while sitting or standing. There’s no need for alarm yet; if it doesn’t get any better consider visiting an orthopedist.

I'm 45, had spinal fusion a decade ago. Lately, feeling a bit off. Is it normal to have new issues 10 years after spinal fusion?
Male | 45
Occasionally, patients may develop new symptoms or complications following spinal fusion surgery even after a few years. The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health. It is also advisable to watch for any changes and consult a spine specialist. In this case, the best doctor to visit should be a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spinal disorders.

Hi I have disability. I had fall yesterday miss last 3 step on double bus and today last hour press wrists and home arm just swallow. Should get checked out
Female | 30
You might have injured the wrists and arms. When your arms appear swollen, you could likely be suffering either from sprains or strains. You might end up experiencing symptoms such as pain, swellings, or the inability to move without extreme difficulties. To reduce these swellings therefore, it is advisable that you use ice bags while at the same time raising both of your arms. You should visit an orthopedist for further clarification.

It may happen because of excessive strain, trauma, or inflammation. Prioritize alleviating pressure; grant your limbs respite. Cold compresses and delicate massage techniques can help. If you feel persisting symptoms visit a orthopedist.

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.

Back pain and 1 leg ???? infection
Female | 58
One leg infection and back pain are two things that should not be taken lightly. There could be many causes for the back pain, and it could be a muscular problem. An infection in the leg presents with redness, warmth, and pain in the infected area. If left untreated, this type of infection may spread to other parts of the body causing more serious problems. It is important to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.
