Why does ac joint hurt?
Orthopedist
Answered on 23rd May '24
Here are many things that can happen to the AC joint, but the most common conditions are arthritis, fractures and separations. Arthritis is a condition characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint, which is essentially wear and tear of the smooth cartilage that allows the bones to move smoothly. Like arthritis at other joints in the body, it is characterized by pain and swelling, especially with activity. Over time, the joint can wear out and get larger, with spurs forming around it. These spurs are a sign of the arthritis and not a cause of the pain. Reaching across the body toward the other arm aggravates arthritis at the AC joint. AC joint wear and tear is common in weight lifters, especially among those who bench press and to a lesser extent, military press. In weight lifters the arthritis at the AC joint has a special name — osteolysis.

I have congenital problem of hypoplasia of both lower limbs to deformity of axle foot with locomotor disability of 65 %. Need recovery treatment by completely
Female | 22
Your legs did not develop properly at birth, which has caused your feet to form abnormally and made it difficult for you to move. Treatments like therapy, braces, or surgery could help improve your condition. These treatments may help you walk better and feel more comfortable. Because your limbs do not fully form, your feet are bent, and movement and balance are difficult. However, with the right therapy, braces, or surgery, your mobility and balance might improve based on your specific case. While this issue has made movement challenging, it does not mean you are helpless.

Hi I'm a 16 yo male and I have poor posture, I used to think that I have minor kyphosis , forward neck , rounded shoulders with scapular winging for which I had consulted a orthopedic doctor he told me to do spine and chest xray, After looking at the xray he told me that my posture is not seen as a deformity and it will cause no problems THE FINDINGS IN MY XRAY REPORT ARE ~Xray report of lumbo sacral spine (ap+lat) • sacralization of lumbar vertebra noted • straightening of lumbar curvature noted • reduced disc space noted between lumbar vertebrae ~Xray report of cervical spine (ap+lat) •Mild straightening of cervical curvature noted •bilateral cervical ribs noted •impression - cervical spondylosis ..........but I think due to my posture I get injuries while heavy workout and few months before I got injured while doing wide arm push up. The injury resulted in pain in shoulders for 3 days and a lower soilder for days until I watched a video on YT how to stretch to fix it.......how ever it was gone and now Im left with uneven collar bones at the chest due to which the mobility is different in both hands. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I am 19 years old , female . I have TMJ problem... I don't have pain till now .. but I just have a clicking sound when I try to open my mouth widely . Will this be curable without surgery?
Female | 19
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, can produce clicking sounds when you open your mouth. Nervous habits such as teeth grinding, stress or jaw misalignment may contribute to this. Many cases can be treated without surgery. Simple exercises for the jaw, hot/cold packs, and elderly eating are some of the treatments that might result in improvement. If your symptoms continue to worsen, you should get in contact with an orthopedist.

How should I resume physical activities 4 months after Achilles tendon surgery
Male | 41
After 4 months of Achilles tendon surgery, you can return to physical activities only with the consent of your orthopedic surgeon. You might have to begin with mild exercises and slowly intensify your exercise. Wear appropriate shoes, and always warm up before the exercise. A physiotherapist should be consulted for a smooth and successful recovery.

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.
Female | 24
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 have knee pain a couple of months ago
Female | 18
Experiencing knee pain for the past couple of months could be due to various reasons, such as injury, overuse, arthritis, or other underlying issues. Consult a healthcare professional, preferably an orthopedic doctor, who specializes in musculoskeletal conditions to assess your situation, and potentially recommend imaging tests if needed..

Essentially failure of the right ACL graft. Blunting of the free edge of the body of the right medial meniscus. Indeterminate appearances of the root of the posterior horn of the right medial meniscus. Tearing of the right lateral meniscus at the junction between the posterior horn and body. An early right knee 'cyclops' lesion cannot be completely excluded. Very early right knee joint degenerative changes.
Male | 25
Your right knee is having some issues. One of the causes of pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee can be an incorrectly functioning graft that the ACLs are made of. The meniscus tears can cause more pain and problems with your knee bending down. The 'cyclops' lesion may be why it is difficult to straighten your knee. When early changes in the joint are seen, this may be an indication of the wearing down of the knee joint cartilage. Physical therapy and possibly surgery may be needed to treat these conditions. Consult your orthopedic doctor for the best treatment plan.

Female | 22
Surgery side issues are normal. Symptoms like ache, swell, red, or warm may appear. Infection, poor healing, or other troubles could cause them. Rest, ice application, and doctor instructions are advised. If the condition worsens or intensifies, a surgeon check-up is crucial.

What is the best treatment for degenerative disc disease
Degenerative disc disease is a common age related low back problem. It can be a significant cause of low back pain. The best treatment for it is non-operative. Back strengthening to stabilize the spine and application of topical pain measures should be tried first.

Hi I am Nantha 27yrs old I had injury in my ring finger inflamed I can't do any work if I move my finger I can hear sound it's so painful
Male | 27
This can be because of the finger getting hurt or overused. Inflammation makes the movement of the finger painful and also popping sounds are produced. Resting your finger, applying ice, and taking painkillers like Ibuprofen can be helpful. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist for a more appropriate treatment.

Hello. I recently discovered that when I pour warm water on my thumb it starts to hurt and the pain goes thru the whole arm. It only happens when water is poured on it but when I am not showering or washing my hands my arm feels fine.
Male | 16
Hey, Welcome to ClinicSpots. We're here to help you with your health concerns.
Your pain when warm water touches your thumb, radiating through your arm, might be related to nerve sensitivity or an underlying condition like neuropathy. The warmth could be triggering nerve endings, causing the pain to spread. It’s also possible that a minor injury or inflammation is reacting to the temperature change.
Next Steps to Follow
-Avoid Warm Water: Temporarily avoid exposing your thumb to warm water to prevent discomfort.
-Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on additional symptoms such as swelling, numbness, or changes in skin color.
-Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a doctor, preferably a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist, for a thorough evaluation. Diagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies or imaging might be needed.
-Detailed Examination: The doctor will perform a physical examination and take a medical history to diagnose the issue accurately. They might suggest treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or further tests based on their findings.
Health Tip
Consider gentle health exercises to maintain flexibility and reduce nerve sensitivity. Ensuring good hand ergonomics and avoiding repetitive strain can also help prevent discomfort.

6 years back I got accident with my knees small scar is there know I got married I have tried to date with my wife suddenly I am facing issues of injury in that place bleeding also now how can I resolve this problem can you please let me know
Male | 32
The old scar from your previous knee injury might have opened up, which caused you to be bleeding. This can be due to scar tissue that is old and brittle. The bleeding may be due to a small trauma or irritation. To aid, wash the area with soap and water, put a sterile dressing on it, and do not press on it. If the bleeding does not stop, you should see an orthopedist.

am a mma fighter and 3 days ago had a kickboxing session, I was holding a kick shield for my dad who weighs 3x more than me. He kicked the kick shield hard but he accidentally missed the kick shield and instead kicked my shoulder, ever since then I have a lot of pain when moving my arms and and especially lifting it outwards I cannot lift it above my head without serious pain, I also feel weak in the same ark and have pain whenever I lift even a light object, I also feel pain in my bicep. Than you
Male | 18
You likely overused your shoulder muscles. Pain, weakness, and the fact your arm does not move well are the possible indications that your muscle has strained and/or torn. This can occur when the muscles are stretched too much. To start the healing process, keep the shoulder in a resting position, apply a cold pack to the affected area, and stay away from activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, go to an orthopedist.

Female | 20
This is a situation where the discs that act as cushions to separate the spinal bones slip out of position and eventually start compressing the neighboring nerve roots. This condition could cause pain in the back as well as difficulty in sitting or bending. Some measures like soft movements of the body, hot and cold compresses, or physical therapy may be helpful. If these treatments do not work, you can consult an orthopedist for further treatments.
