Why is my finger swollen and stiff post-surgery?
Finger pain and swelling and sitness after surgery

Answered on 13th Feb '25
Experiencing discomfort and edema in a digit after an operation can commonly occur. This might be due to inflammation or fluid accumulation as part of the healing process. While these issues are frequently benign, it's vital to monitor your symptoms closely. Gentle movement and resting the hand can help alleviate discomfort. Applying ice may reduce swelling, while over-the-counter pain relief can provide comfort. However, if the issues persist or worsen, I strongly recommend reaching out to your orthopedist. They can assess your progress and ensure your recovery stays on track.

She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture
Female | 54
If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

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.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be brought on by a pregnant woman's palms and fingers. The nerve in the wrist is squashed, which is how carpal tunnel syndrome occurs. The high volume of swelling is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnancy. To treat the problem, you can hold your hand above your head, do hand exercises, or even consider wearing the splint while walking at night. It gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

I am a 19 years old girl and have been experiencing extreme discomfort and pain in my upper back, specially at night and after smoking. I have also been going through shortness of breath after doing exercise and regular walks I havent taken any pills or done anything differently what should I do?
Female | 19
The pain in your upper back, especially at night and after smoking, along with breathlessness after exercises, could be a sign of a lung or heart problem. These symptoms are also the cause of concern, which is why it is important to have an orthopedist check you as soon as possible. These symptoms may be due to inflammation in the lungs or heart, which in turn, requires medical treatment.

Typical signs are swelling, stiffness, or pain during any movement. To get rid of this, apply ice, put the leg up, and take over-the-counter painkillers if needed. It is essential to include strengthening exercises and weight management for health benefits. But, if the symptoms persist or become worse, you should consult an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation and individualized advice.

I am 27 years old . During a month I suffered from knee pain and pooping sound coming from there . Even I noticed sounds coming from every joint.
Male | 27
You may be suffering from crepitus, a condition involving joints made from popping or cracking sounds. When the knee or another joint, like the knee, expands, you can hear the sound. This says that sometimes air bubbles may be in the joint space. Or the Cheerios cereal-like cartilage surfaces of our bones are responsible for creating noise.

I do roofing for work. Handle nail guns with nails held together by little brass wire. When you shoot a nail with our nailguns...some brass is always still attached to the nail (about 3 mm) and today I accidentally shot myself on top of my thigh and when I pulled the nail out, no wire came with it. The wound is now healed over (it's been about 10 hours since sending this inquiry) So how dire is it for me to get it professionally removed? Can I just deal with it in there forever? (Pain is 0) Will it poison me over time like lead?
Male | 22
The small piece of brass left in your thigh probably won’t cause any issues. Since the wound is stable and you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave it as it is. Brass is not as toxic as lead, so there's no need to worry about poisoning. Just watch for any redness, swelling, or pain around the area. If you notice anything unusual, it's a good idea to consult an orthopedist.

For severe back pain over the counter pain medications can provide relief. Consult a orthopedic or physical therapist for exercises and stretches from well known hospitals is advisable. Maintaining good posture and making lifestyle changes, such as weight management, can also be beneficial.

Male | 24
This could be a sign of a nerve being compressed or muscles strained. One has to be going on with the medical advice, as possible symptoms need good checking. Once in a while, the patient herself may get the pills from a pharmacist, still, the better way of recovering is done when she does physical therapy that deals with the error at the muscles by strengthening the muscles. Using ice packs or heating pads over the injured area can help it go away, but only for a short period. It would be more fitting if you could schedule another meeting with your orthopedist to re-evaluate and choose individual treatment options.

How to get rid of arthritis in fingers?
Female | 45
Acupuncture helps in opening up the energy level ( commonly referred as 'Qi' in acupuncture theory).
Acupuncture needles are put on various parts of the body which helps in increasing the blood flow.
It has an anti inflammatory effect. It stops body's inflammatory response, increases blood flow and relaxes muscle tone. It helps in flushing out toxins from the body. Acupuncture releases endorphins which are natural hormones to reduce the feeling of pain and puts the patient in ultimate relaxed state i.e feeling of well being.
Electro acupuncture pulsates electric current through the needles.
Such procedure gives quick response and helps in reducing both pain and inflammation in people with arthritis.

Sir, my uric acid was high and pain in my leg joint after taking medicine febuxostat 80 mg it comes normal 5.5 but still I have pain in my joint, I am taking zero dol pain killer also. So pls guide
Male | 35
It’s possible that the high uric acid caused damage to your joint before going down. This can lead to lingering pain. You are doing well by taking a febuxostat and a painkiller. Rest the joint, apply ice, and try gentle exercises to strengthen the area. If the pain continues, see an orthopedist for further advice.

Female | 49
Carpal tunnel syndrome seems to be your interpretation. A squashed nerve in your wrist, which is accompanied by pain, weakness, and tingling in your hand and fingers, is the cause of this problem. It can be due to overstretching your wrist, as one uses a computer or a phone for a long time. As an alternate solution, you could try wearing a wrist splint, doing hand stretches, and taking breaks from activities that involve overextending your wrist. If the pain persists, see an orthopedist for more advice.

Female | 29
The symptoms you described could be indicative of osteoarthritis. This is a condition where the cartilage in your joint wears away, resulting in the rubbing of bones against each other and, subsequently, pain and stiffness. To assist in the control of your symptoms, you can follow gentle exercises to build up the muscles around your knee, apply hot or cold packs for relief, and think of talking to an orthopedist about treatment options such as physical therapy or medications.

Male | 29
Fatigue and joint pain, particularly in the knees and legs, originate from diverse reasons like inflammation, overuse, or even nutrient shortcomings. You must be able to tell among rest, water, and exercises that apply to gentle stretching and low-impact movements to help you move about easily. Furthermore, proper food ingestion of vitamins and supplements that can assist the entire body is another way for people to generally be healthy. Nevertheless, continuous symptoms push you to visit an orthopedist.
