Acupuncture analgesic points help in alleviating pain to a great extent. Local back points and the corresponding acupuncture points help to relax a patient to a great extent.

Hand problem my elbow is gone to fracture
Male | 25
Your elbow might be broken. When the elbow is broken, you can feel pain, see swelling, and can’t move your arm easily. Fractures may occur by falling or putting too much pressure on the joint while doing some activities. A cast or sling may be required for your elbow to heal, but sometimes an operation is necessary too. Don't forget to follow up with an orthopedist.

My mother is 48 years old shes suffering from arthritis from 12 years please help me She sometimes complain that her arm and nerves inside her stomach paining and she also complain that nerves inside her stomach getting to blossom
Female | 48
Your mother appears to be suffering from arthritis for a long time. The pain in her arm may be caused by joint inflammation which indicates that it’s a nerve problem if she experiences discomfort in the stomach too. When people have arthritis, sometimes they undergo a situation where nerves get affected hence feeling pain in different body parts apart from those with affected joints. To minimize the pain she is going through she should do gentle exercises, use warm towels if possible, and get drugs prescribed by a physician.

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 am a 26 year old female I’ve been having muscle pain just below my clavicle bone accompanied with shoulder and neck pain. Also,a pressure builds up in my neck that causes frequent neck cracking. The muscle below my right clavicle is dipped in and causes a lot of pain trying to sit up properly. All the pressure on the neck caused a nymph node behind my right ear.
Female | 26
You might have muscle pain coupled with pressure on the neck and the shoulder region. Muscles are likely to be tensed or strained bringing about such signs. The issue of muscle dropping below your clavicle and squeezing your neck could result from sitting or standing with drooping shoulders. You can ease them by keeping the right body posture always, engaging in mild stretches that won’t hurt much, and using warm towels on those affected spots.

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.

A leg disease and it give me pain
Male | 14
You may be having a health problem called arthritis in your leg. Arthritis attacks the joints and causes pain, swelling, and stiffness. It is when the cartilage, which protects the ends of your bones, wears out over time. To relieve the pain, you can learn some gentle movements, use hot and cold therapy, and take over-the-counter painkillers.

A fracture is a small crack in the bone. You may experience pain, swelling, and difficulty walking on that leg. Fractures result from accidents or falls. To help, rest your leg, ice it to reduce swelling, and use crutches if needed. Get advice from an orthopedist for further care and healing.

Female | 52
Your MRI shows a disc problem in your lower back, specifically at the L4-L5 level. This is causing pressure on nerves, leading to back pain and sciatica on the right side. It occurs when the soft material inside the disc pushes out. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain medications, and possibly surgery if severe. Make sure to follow up with an orthopedist for the best advice.

Neck dry and pain, left chest pain, gas form, back pain, and legs also
Female | 28
You might have a mix of signs that result from different problems, including tight muscles due to stress, gas in the stomach causing discomfort, and maybe even acid reflux. At times these may lead to you feeling pain in various parts of your body like the neck, chest, back, or legs. To prevent too much gas build-up eat slowly as well as steer clear of foods that could trigger heart-burning sensations. Take some time out for yourself each day and gently stretch your body while doing so. If these symptoms continue unabated or get worse, visit a gastroenterologist or orthopedist.
