I am 34 years old,myself and my partner was kn a car crash last year march. We have physio (thunk it was 8 or 10 sessions) I had stiffness in my neck but after the physio it was fine. Last month my left arm from my shoulder to my elbow really hurts,I struggle to lift my left arm up and sometimes I have to use my right arm to move my left arm as its really painful.
Female | 34
You may have adhesive capsulitis, which is also referred to as a frozen shoulder. This usually occurs after an injury in the shoulder has taken place such as a car accident for example. Pain and stiffness are common symptoms of this condition thereby making it difficult for one to move the affected arm or arms. To alleviate these signs try gentle stretching exercises coupled with warm compresses applied to the painful area.

Hey I’m getting a weird feeling in my right foot it comes a goes but it feels like a pulse movement it feels weird I’m not sure what it is
Female | 24
You might be feeling a throbbing sensation in your right foot. The constriction of blood vessels or the poor circulation of that area can be the cause. In rare instances, stress, anxiety, or the overconsumption of caffeine, may lead to the same feeling. Walk around and try to keep your foot upright for a while. Talking to an orthopedist is advisable if the feeling persists or gets worse.

I have knee issues and when I want to sleep I don't want to get up is it a good idea to wear diapers to bed
Male | 31
Wearing diapers at night can cause you knee pain, so it's better to avoid it. When you are experiencing knee pain, your mobility is restricted which makes it hard for you to sleep. However, wearing diapers will not help. Knee issues arise either because of injury, arthritis, or muscle strain. To help, use pillows to support your knees while sleeping and also do gentle doctor-recommended exercises to strengthen your knee. Instead of only treating the pain, you should focus on the cause of the knee problem.

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.

I have pain in my hip or buttack and calf are pain
Male | 27
It is clear that you are suffering from pain in your hip or buttock and the calf comes along with pain. This may be because of a situation called sciatica, where the sciatic nerve gets irritated. Symptoms include shooting or burning pain. It is important to rest and not put pressure on the injured area, and the gentle stretching of the muscles to the point of pain is among the most likely options. Preventing activities that cause pain is also a good idea and consulting an orthopedic specialist for more suggestions is obligatory.

Female | 25
It may happen due to poor sleeping positions, repetitive strain injuries, or maybe arthritis. To get a proper diagnosis and advice, you need to consult a medical professional. Meanwhile, try to maintain a comfortable sleeping position and consider using ice packs for swelling.

It will not do you any good to stick pain relief gel/medication to the ankle for persistent pain. A qualified orthopedic specialist should diagnose and treat you adequately.

I think i have pectus excavatum i have a 2.6-2.7 cm concave chest i do not have problem in breathing but i think it might cause problem in future
Male | 17
Pectus excavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens because of how your ribs and breastbone develop. Although breathing troubles can happen, you said you're okay there, which is good. To keep an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. They can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.

Hi, I have bursitis, but there is no pain, what to do to solve this problem?
Male | 40
Is bursitis without pain possible? Yes, it is but it can bother you a lot. Bursitis occurs due to the inflammation of bursae, a small, fluid-filled sac located at joints. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will feel pain. But if there is swelling or stiffness, you might feel like you have swollen a joint by doing a wrong workout. Swelling can be resolved by resting and applying ice packs. The best and most effective course is to avoid participating in things that enhance the swelled part. There is a possibility that it could not go away, and the advice of an orthopedist could be sought in this case!

Hi, I fell over and hurt my ankle 3 weeks ago. It is still swollen. I can walk on it without pain but have pain after when I sit down just wondering if I should seek medical attention h have been ice rest elevation and compression it
Female | 20
Caring for your ankle by icing, resting, elevating, and compressing is wise. However, swelling lasting 3 weeks raises concern. Walking pain-free is positive, yet sitting discomfort hints at lingering issues. Consult an orthopedist to rule out serious problems. Meanwhile, continue icing, resting and elevating.

Why allopurinol is contraindicated in acute gout
Female | 46
Allopurinol cause urate lowering resulting in urate crystals being shed from articular cartilage into the joint space, resulting in acute inflammation ,hence it should not be used.

I was about going to sleep at night when I started feeling some twitching around my eyes coupled with some electric-like shocks on my face. When I slept and woke up, I discovered it had increased. My face looked swollen, and my mouth was somehow tight. I couldn't whistle with it or shape it any way I wanted to. I couldn't open it wide. I couldn't close my eyes without pain and It was blinking even when I closed it and it was like a stress to my nose when I closed one of the eye or both. All of these relieved me in two days time. And my eyes could close better without pressure and my mouth functions was back to normal. But after some days I discovered that my posture has changed and my left hip bone is tight. My left leg has some rotation making it look like it's tight. My glute seems tight and my left hip look like it's forward, making my Left leg to appear longer and my walking posture to change. I can run, I can shoot with my both legs. Just that I'm having tighness in my left hip or pelvis. This has made me to walk in a different manner. Pls what can I do?
Male | 32
You may have experienced a condition called Bell's Palsy, which causes facial muscle weakness and can affect your posture. Bell's Palsy is usually due to nerve inflammation that controls facial muscles, leading to symptoms like twitching, facial swelling, and difficulty closing your eyes or moving your mouth. While most cases heal on their own, it's important to monitor any new symptoms. Initially, your posture changes and tightness in your left hip were the main concerns. Stretching exercises can help improve your range of motion and correct your posture. Consulting a physiotherapist or orthopedist can help you manage these symptoms professionally.

Diagnosis - Compound grade 3A(L) distalend radius fracture with ulnar shaft fracture with ulnar steyloid fracture After getting wrist surgery left median and left ulnar nurves CMAPs low amplitude response. & Continuous sensenation found between thumb & finger . Thumb movement is not properly. F waves absent
Male | 26
The fact that you cannot move your thumb properly and feel like your thumb and other fingers are being brought together all the time may imply that either the nerves were injured when the accident first occurred or when it was being operated upon. These findings need to be shared with the orthopedist or a neurologist.
