What's wrong with my swollen, sore ankle?
I fell down a flight of stairs and my ankle is swollen and sore. Can you help me figure out what's wrong and what I can do to fix it?

One should refrain from walking on the injured leg and should elevate the leg to prevent swelling, as well as use ice packs for at least 15-20 minutes every couple of hours. Pain relievers that you can buy without a doctor's prescription can be used to stop the pain by the way they work. However, if the area gets worse or you can't walk properly, it is important to see an orthopedist.

Im a 18 year old male havin leg injury some 2 to 3 months ago and it'll Heald but there is a puss in side so i make a small hole to gett it out but now the hole cant gets heal... So what can i do
Male | 19
Pus is a sign of infection; hence, your wound can be infected. The next steps are to keep clean areas, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover them with a bandage. Moreover, you need to talk to a doctor to be sure the wound is healing well.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb
Male | 26
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

A couple of days ago I was getting up off the floor after some push ups and lost my balance a bit and felt several cracks/pops from my left knee. I was crouching on the balls of my feet falling backwards and to try to regain balance I was leaning my knees forward in full flexion, with my thighs pressing onto my calves. I kind of collapsed one the spot, more due to surprise than in pain but it was sore after that. Now it's not really hindering me while I'm on my feet at all aside from a sense of fragility if that makes sense, though that could be more mental to be honest. However I do start to feel a tiny bit of pain and a combination of discomfort and weakness when I flex my knee approaching a 90 degrees with my thigh, both behind my knee around the end of my thigh and on top of my knee towards the outside and a bit below the kneecap.
Male | 25
Flexing your knee at around 90 degrees causes pain behind and on top of the knee. It's essential to seek medical advice to diagnose and treat the issue properly. Avoid putting stress on the knee and consider resting and elevating it until you see an orthopedist.

Is the presence of fluid in the knee two years post knee replacement a cause for concern?
Male | 45
a fluid in the knee is something to worry about because it might be an infection or loosening of an implant. A visit to an orthopedic specialist is necessary so that the condition can be evaluated and suitable treatment advised. In some cases, postponing treatment may result in additional complications that will require more aggressive procedures.

Seeking your doctor's opinion is important if you see any symptoms suggesting an infection after the surgery, as they will be able to diagnose and treat the condition appropriately. In case of infection, she should see an orthopedist who can determine the specific diagnosis and apply the proper treatment.

Good afternoon, I have been having waist pain frequently in the past few weeks. Yesterday I was having muscle pull consistently for several hours intermittently
Male | 53
It appears that you have recently been having some lower back pain as well as muscle pulls. These could be due to things like bad posture, overworking yourself or even just pulling a muscle while making a sudden move. To reduce your discomfort, try doing some gentle stretches, using warm packs, and resting when necessary.

Pain in right shoulder and right side ribs
Female | 27
Many reasons could explain this: a strained muscle, bruised rib, or internal organ issue. Recent falls or accidents may also be the reason —poor posture, overusing muscles too. First, try this: ice packs, rest that side. If pain persists, or worsens, it's the time to ask an orthopedist for help.

Due to a car accident a while back, I've been wearing diapers for an extended period because of my mobility issues. I don't currently have incontinence issues, but my reliance on diapers has made me wonder about the long-term effects. My primary concern is whether this extended use of diapers, even without incontinence, might eventually lead to total incontinence. I would greatly appreciate your insights or any information you can provide on this matter.
Male | 23
Prolonged diaper use may cause a number of health problems including urinary tract infections, skin rashes and discomfort.

Spine pain after encountering of an injury while doing push ups did some treatment Pain has started again so wanted to check up L3 and L5
Male | 45
The pain in your mid and lower back (L3 and L5 지역) is recurring again after push ups. This may be caused by a muscle or ligament strain from the past injury. The symptoms can be a dull pain, stiffness, or piercing pain in the back. To care for this apply ice packs, and mild stretches, and stay away from activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain is still bothering you, consult with an orthopedist to get a physical examination.

Maybe, your mom is facing some problems with her blood circulation on the left leg. If your mom's leg puffs up and then it becomes normal, this can be a symptom of circulation problems. The pain she's feeling might be because her leg is receiving insufficient blood. She needs to consult with an orthopedist about this to know what is happening with her and get the proper treatment to her feel better.

You need thorough clinical examination with a multidisciplinary team of Orthopedic Surgeon/Neurologists. We need to find out at which neural level is the existing problem Eg. Spinal cord, Peripheral nerve. This should be done ASAP which would improve the chances of recovery.
