Greetings from Rid of Pain Physiotherapy
your question is vast. Recovery depends on multiple things like status of muscle strength, alignment of bones, ROM, pre n post surgical physiotherapy rehabilitation if u done. although in healthy cases a patient should b able to do all the activities of daily living independently without pain.

I am 15 years old and have had a knee injury for 11 months . It started out as a meniscus injury and that has gotten better. According to my most recent MRI, I have edema , synovitis, and slight injuries to my ligaments. It doesn’t sound severe, but I have difficulty walking normally, and it often cracks, which makes it deteriorate. Also, because of the long duration，my muscles have muscle atrophy. My question is: What do the cracks mean(are they fine or not), and what should I do to recover? Thanks.

Male | 15

Crackling from your knee is fostered by harsh surfaces or air bubbles. Although it’s perfectly normal at times, it could signify a problem if pain or swelling accompanies the snaps. For recovery, gentle exercises along with physical therapy will not only strengthen supporting muscles, leading to better knee stability. Be cautious while moving be sure to stay away from activities that may exacerbate this popping sound. You can also visit an orthopedist.

Hello, my son of two years and five months has suffered two fractures in the last five months. The first time was fractured in the femur region of the left leg and the second time it was broken below that and above the knee of the same leg. I sent you the results of the test and the photo of the bone density. Please guide me. I took this test two days after opening his leg.

Male | 2

Hello, according to the information given in, your son appears to be suffering from some underlying bone health problems. As a next step, I would recommend you to see bone density and overall health assessed by an orthopedist and a paediatric endocrinologist. These experts will be able to give your son the correct diagnosis and treatment plan for the situation he is in.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.

Male | 16

Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Hello doctor I am currently on fluoxetine 40mg since last 2 years Yesterday i had a small accident and my hand is aching a lot My physician has prescribed 50mg tramadol But i have read on google that tramadol and fluoxetine cannot be taken together Please help what to do??

Male | 25

Although fluoxetine and tramadol are both related to chemical levels in the brain, it is still not safe to mix them. In other words, their simultaneous consumption can intensify the likelihood of serotonin syndrome, a critical ailment that manifests symptoms such as confusion, sweating, and fast heartbeat. The best course of action would be for your physician to advise you on alternative pain relief options that are safe for you.

Age-36, height 5"3, weight 62 k.g. I am having pain in my knees and legs from last couple of months. Whenever i ben my knees, there is tickling sound and it pains when i stand after bending down. I never had such pains or injury of any sort. What could be the reasons, shall i do some test.

Male | 36

You might be facing a condition called osteoarthritis. It is the case when the cartilage in your knees wears down which is a common problem. This may lead to pain that can be aggravated by bending or standing up. It is important to be active, keep your weight in check, and prevent injury to your joints. The use of heat or cold packs, mild exercises, and the intake of non-prescription pain meds may be useful. Should the pain continue, visiting a physical therapist or orthopedic specialist might be necessary for further assessment.

Iam 21 years old male backache for 2 months and some health issues that I don't understand what should I do?

Male | 21

Back injury's roots can be different, due to incorrect body posture, overworked muscles, or stress. Any other signs you may have, including numbness or tingling in your legs, are equally important to listen to. Attempting to correct your posture, and undertake light stretching exercises, and hot or cold packs may also be beneficial for pain relief. When the pain does not diminish, it is advisable to consult an orthopedist for a second opinion and treatment.

I fell on my wrist 6 months ago and still have pain when I put pressure on it and after physical activity, the pain is located on the pinky side of the hand and there is a clicking noise when I twist my wrist.

Considering your symptoms, you may have a wrist sprain or ligament injury. It is recommended to see an Orthopedic doctor in order to get a correct diagnosis and treatment. The specialist will conduct a physical examination and may suggest imaging tests to establish the severity of injury. Procrastination in treatment can cause chronic problems.

I'm a 28 year old lady, mother of 1 for the past week I have been experiencing mild hip pain which would sometimes lead to leg pain. The problem is it's getting more severe to the extent that I'm having difficulties standing even for a short time

Female | 28

It is common to have discomfort with hips and leg pain for a person. Such kind of pain can come from different places like muscle tension, joints problem, and even posture. With the increase in pain, it could be a sign of an illness./As the discomfort intensifies, it may indicate an underlying condition that requires attention. I would suggest that you rest, do ice-water therapies in the affected area, and perform some gentle stretching as well. However, you must always consult an orthopedist, who will evaluate you and set a program for your specific medical issue issues effectively.

Having a lot of pain badly that won't let you sleep or even sitting is hard. Muscle strain, nerve problems, or even arthritis are some of the symptoms of this kind of pain that you may experience. You must be able to go to an orthopedist, who can make you be given a proper examination and suggest the right course of action after the diagnosis.

Please I have severe pain in my lower back down to both of my legs

Male | 24

You might be suffering from sciatica, a condition where pain starts in your lower back and goes down to your legs. This happens because a nerve in your back is under pressure. The pain can be shooting, sharp, or constant. To relieve the pain, it is important to rest, use heat or ice packs, and do gentle stretches. If the pain persists, it's best to see an orthopedist for further tests and treatment options.

Pain in the foot joints after walking a lot is quite common. The joints might be sore from the pressure and movement. To ease the pain, rest your foot, apply ice, and gently stretch your foot and calf muscles. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and avoid walking long distances for now.
