You might have hurt your knee when you slipped and fell. The pain and tightness you feel in your leg when it is bent and the fluid inside it, could be due to a condition called knee effusion. Knee effusion is the excess fluid that gets inside the knee joint and works as a protection for it after an injury. Rest, ice, elevation, and gentle exercises can help reduce the pain and swelling. If the pain doesn't go away or worsens, it's crucial to visit an orthopedist.

I am 18 years old .I decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kg. I am suffering one side of knee pain in right leg. And there is a pain for one day from neck and spinal cord

Female | 18

The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/

Female | 21

You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

It sounds like you may have experienced a sprain or bruise, which can lead to swelling and discomfort. This reaction is your body’s way of protecting the injured area. To ease symptoms, try rest, ice, compression, and elevation—often referred to as RICE. Applying ice for 15-20 minutes every few hours can help reduce swelling, while keeping the limb elevated encourages fluid drainage. However, if pain persists, mobility decreases, or you notice severe swelling or bruising, it’s wise to see a orthopedist for a thorough examination.

You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.
