It sounds like you're experiencing significant discomfort, possibly due to a sprain, inflammation, or nerve-related issue. Swelling, numbness, and changes in color suggest a need for immediate attention. To manage the symptoms, try resting your hand, elevating it, and applying ice to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relief may help as well. However, it's essential that you see a orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Loss of lumber lordosis Fatty changes in l4 l5 vertibrate
Female | 61
You have a condition where the lower part of your spine is losing its normal curve called lumbar lordosis. This can occur due to the L4 and L5 bones being too fat. Symptoms may be back pain or stiffness. To boost this, you can do exercises that strengthen your back and abdomen muscles.

Being unable to turn the left hip perfectly. And thereby it looks like one of my legs are a it longer.
Male | 32
You are having a problem in the process of turning your left hip which causes one leg to appear longer. This may be caused by a condition called hip impingement. It can lead to pain, stiffness, and rigidity of your hip which can make it hard for you to move your hip. For that, you should try gentle hip exercises and stretches to treat this. If the problem continues, it is necessary to go to an orthopedist for more tests and advice.

I'm 17 years old. My man. I had joint and muscle pain, especially in the neck, for a while. There is pain in the neck, elbow joints, arm muscles, wrist and fingers, and the bone between the elbow and hand. However, what is disturbing is the leg pain. It starts from the waist and hips and goes towards the feet. The most severe pain is the left upper leg, thigh and knee. I have pain in the calves of both my feet. Even my toes hurt. I have a burning and stinging sensation in my left upper leg. And worst of all, I have extreme weakness and fatigue. I can never open my eyes in the morning, I can't even wake up, I'm always tired. The pediatrician looked at it 1 month ago. At that time, there were no such severe symptoms, there was some joint pain and fatigue. He did a detailed blood test and nothing came up. Just this CRP 10 The doctor didn't say anything and we never went back. What diseases can it be a symptom of? Could it be a sign of leukemia? Someone said it. But my family thought I was exaggerating everything, so I didn't say anything to them again about going to the hospital. I just want to know your opinion What do you think it could be? I'm sorry for keeping you busy

Widespread muscle and joint aches with fatigue could mean fibromyalgia. It causes burning sensations too. Though leukemia seems scary, fibromyalgia fits these symptoms. But don't worry, an orthopedist can investigate the cause properly. They'll suggest suitable treatment options after examining you thoroughly.

Back pain headache and i wake up in the night for washroom
Female | 23
Back troubles can be a result of improper posture, bearing heavy loads, or remaining seated for a long period. Tension and not drinking enough water can be the reasons for headaches. The urge to urinate in the middle of the night might be a bladder issue. To recuperate, begin with simple training, increase your water intake, and get to bed earlier.

I have alot of swelling in my leg i cant walk and its painful
Female | 17
You might have a disease called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It begins when occurs a clot in a deep vein, most often, however, in the leg. Swelling, pain, warmth, and redness are the symptoms. To cure DVT, blood thinners may be required to stop the clots from getting bigger. Intensive care interventions also require a raised leg and rest. However, it might be necessary for the veins to be compressed further if your leg swelling and pain do not go away or worsen.

Male | 18
Unlike lumps that result from injury, there are cancerous lumps that will go away without treatment. If the tumor is not sore and only hurts when pressed, it could be a benign growth. However, you should seek medical attention for this.

wrist pain alternating between both wrists, lower back pain, knee pains resembling bruising above the knees and sometimes bruise like pain in the thighs and sharp hip pain all the way to the foot (like a pulled string feeling) - most are often after overuse (phone, walking, sleeping wrong). They don’t always happen at once but sometimes all together. Other discomforts involve stabbing pain inside the foot from under when walking for too long, finger joint pains usually worse the second day after overuse and shoulder and elbow pains after sleeping slightly wrong or overuse. Occasional Tingling/numbness in fingers (I can’t feel my fingers for a few seconds sometimes) and most often stiffness in finger joints occur in the mornings. Occasionally, affected areas exhibit slight redness and warmth. Recently I’ve found that stretching the pained areas helps a lot. General tiredness persists. These symptoms have persisted for nearly a year, fluctuating in severity. There haven't been any major accidents. Tests * anti ds dna is negative * HLA-B27 is negative * Ana is positive — * RF factor negative. * Knee X-Ray shows some cartilage thinning * MRI done: report says Signal loss due to degeneration was observed in the L4-5 disc * vitamin d3 at 28
Female | 24
Your body experiences a variety of aches in areas like your wrists, lower back, knees, thighs, hips, feet, fingers, shoulders, and elbows. You may also feel tingling sensations and stiffness. ANA results suggest possible autoimmune issues and low vitamin D levels contribute to bone and muscle pain. An MRI has shown spine degeneration, likely causing some of your symptoms. It's essential to consult a orthopedist to address these concerns.

I Got MRI done Of spine for some back pain puropse Can I get to know About my growth plates from that. As I can absorb I have a thin black line between vertibrals and white Between space between each vertribals.... I will be glad for you help doctor..
Male | 18
An MRI focuses on soft tissues and bones, including the condition of your spine, but it isn't specifically designed to assess growth plates, which are typically evaluated through X-rays. The thin black line you observed likely represents the intervertebral disc space, which contains fluid and can indicate health in that area. Back pain can arise from various factors, including muscle strain, posture issues, or disc problems. I recommend discussing your MRI results with your orthopedist, who can offer tailored advice and treatment options based on your specific situation.

Female | 52
Your MRI shows a disc problem in your lower back, specifically at the L4-L5 level. This is causing pressure on nerves, leading to back pain and sciatica on the right side. It occurs when the soft material inside the disc pushes out. Treatment may include physical therapy, pain medications, and possibly surgery if severe. Make sure to follow up with an orthopedist for the best advice.
