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.

You may have hurt your elbow quite seriously. When you slam it hard, you can make your elbow and arm to swell and turn purple. It happens when the tiny blood vessels, beneath our skin, smash. For reducing the swelling and pain, you can apply ice. If no significant improvement is noted, you should get the orthopedist involved and thoroughly examined.

These symptoms can happen if a person sits too long without moving around enough or they have some medical problem. You should see an orthopedist about your ankles so we know what’s going on with them. In the meantime try raising your legs up high when you can–this will help bring more blood flow down into your feet. Also, put cold packs on them to ease any swelling and hurt.

Why is my right leg bigger than left?
my right leg/thigh/hip is bigger than the left What is wrong with me
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

Answered on 23rd May '24
If one leg/thigh/hip is bigger than the other, it might be because of a muscle imbalance. This means that one side is stronger than the other. You may develop this condition by constantly using your one leg when walking or doing physical exercises. To solve this problem, ensure workouts that will serve each side equally.

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

Could my muscle pain near clavicle and neck cracking be related?
I am a 26 year old female I’ve been having muscle pain just below my clavicle bone accompanied with shoulder and neck pain. Also,a pressure builds up in my neck that causes frequent neck cracking. The muscle below my right clavicle is dipped in and causes a lot of pain trying to sit up properly. All the pressure on the neck caused a nymph node behind my right ear.

You might have muscle pain coupled with pressure on the neck and the shoulder region. Muscles are likely to be tensed or strained bringing about such signs. The issue of muscle dropping below your clavicle and squeezing your neck could result from sitting or standing with drooping shoulders. You can ease them by keeping the right body posture always, engaging in mild stretches that won’t hurt much, and using warm towels on those affected spots.

Why Do I Have Upper Back, Heel, & Breast Pain?
Im a 25 years old female and i ma experience upper back pain and heel pain for almost 2 weeks. Also its been some days i have a pain around right breast.

The pain in your upper back might be from sitting too long or having bad posture; the heel is probably hurting because you’re wearing shoes that don’t fit well. The right breast also hurts sometimes if you’ve pulled a muscle or it’s inflamed. Take some time off and use ice packs or heating pads if necessary. None of these things help though, then get checked by an orthopedist.
