Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
If you step on a nail, wash the spot with soap and water right away. This cleans the cut. Then put a new bandage on it. Check the cut every day. Look for signs of infection. That can mean redness, feeling hot, or pus coming out. If you see those things, go to the doctor fast. They can give you medicine to keep the infection from getting worse.

Why Is My Left Shoulder Blade Painful for Months?
I am 21 years old. I have been having a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade for up to four months now

Answered on 7th May '24
You may have a muscle strain in your left shoulder blade. This happens when you use that muscle a lot or have poor posture. You may feel sharp pain, especially when moving your arm. Try gently stretching and putting ice on the area. Do not do things that make the pain worse. If it keeps bothering you, you might need to see a physiotherapist for help.

What could be causing burning sensations in my back and right leg for two weeks?
I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz
Dr. Pramod Bhor

Answered on 7th May '24
It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.

Can you tell me why this happens, can I know the name of this kind of pain so that I can take care of myself?

Answered on 7th May '24
According to what you said, it seems like you might have patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is a condition where the kneecap does not move smoothly over the thigh bone thus resulting in pain. Doing cycling excessively can also trigger it. Rest the knee, perform some light stretches, and do some strengthening workouts. See an orthopedist if the pain persists.

What could cause a fractured elbow and how is it treated?
Hand problem my elbow is gone to fracture
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
Your elbow might be broken. When the elbow is broken, you can feel pain, see swelling, and can’t move your arm easily. Fractures may occur by falling or putting too much pressure on the joint while doing some activities. A cast or sling may be required for your elbow to heal, but sometimes an operation is necessary too. Don't forget to follow up with an orthopedist.

Is conservative treatment effective for painful swollen foot?
Painful swollen foot in 85 y old lady since 20 days after possible eversion injury Treated conservatively with walking air cast but little improvement Your kind opinion
Dr. Deep Chakraborty
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 7th May '24
An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.

You might have injured the wrists and arms. When your arms appear swollen, you could likely be suffering either from sprains or strains. You might end up experiencing symptoms such as pain, swellings, or the inability to move without extreme difficulties. To reduce these swellings therefore, it is advisable that you use ice bags while at the same time raising both of your arms. You should visit an orthopedist for further clarification.

If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Do cracks in knee indicate severity of injury?
I am 15 years old and have had a knee injury for 11 months . It started out as a meniscus injury and that has gotten better. According to my most recent MRI, I have edema , synovitis, and slight injuries to my ligaments. It doesn’t sound severe, but I have difficulty walking normally, and it often cracks, which makes it deteriorate. Also, because of the long duration,my muscles have muscle atrophy. My question is: What do the cracks mean(are they fine or not), and what should I do to recover? Thanks.
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

Answered on 6th May '24
Crackling from your knee is fostered by harsh surfaces or air bubbles. Although it’s perfectly normal at times, it could signify a problem if pain or swelling accompanies the snaps. For recovery, gentle exercises along with physical therapy will not only strengthen supporting muscles, leading to better knee stability. Be cautious while moving be sure to stay away from activities that may exacerbate this popping sound. You can also visit an orthopedist.

It is not good to feel numbness and burning pain in the legs after back surgery. These feelings happen because the nerves get irritated. This could happen because of swelling or pressure on the nerves. It is important to tell your surgeon about these feelings. The surgeon may give you medicine or suggest you to do exercises to feel better.

Can Cream Relieve Stiff, Frozen Shoulder After 4 Months?
I am having frozen shoulder for last 4 months there is no pain but the shoulder is stiff cannot move up is there any creme for frozen shoulder relief
Dr. Deep Chakraborty
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 3rd May '24
This happens when tissues around the shoulder joint get tight. It can make arm movement hard. No pain is good, but the stiffness can bother you. There is no cream just for frozen shoulder relief. But easy stretches and physical therapy can loosen the shoulder over time. It is key to move the shoulder as much as you can without pushing too much. If stiffness remains, get advice from an orthoopedist.

Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 3rd May '24
You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

A sprain occurs when the ligaments around your joints are stretched or damaged. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the injured affected part among others. To help with a sprain, it's important to rest, ice the injured area, compress it with a bandage, and elevate your foot. In case If the pain doesn't go away, be sure to see an orthopedist for medical advice.
