I am 25 years old and from few days I am feeling like my hand is getting swollen when I wash utensils and it gets numb and feels like my hand is soaking water
Answered on 30th May '24
It seems you may have the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, making your hand swell and become numb. Washing up may be aggravating it. When you feel like this, you should try to take regular breaks while doing tasks. You could also use a wrist splint to help keep your hand in a better position. If these steps don’t relieve the problem, then it would be a good idea to talk to a orthopedist for more advice.

Neck dry and pain, left chest pain, gas form, back pain, and legs also
Answered on 28th May '24
You might have a mix of signs that result from different problems, including tight muscles due to stress, gas in the stomach causing discomfort, and maybe even acid reflux. At times these may lead to you feeling pain in various parts of your body like the neck, chest, back, or legs. To prevent too much gas build-up eat slowly as well as steer clear of foods that could trigger heart-burning sensations. Take some time out for yourself each day and gently stretch your body while doing so. If these symptoms continue unabated or get worse, visit a gastroenterologist or orthopedist.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Answered on 28th May '24
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

I am24 year old suffering with back pain
Answered on 28th May '24
It may have been caused by lifting heavy objects and straining your muscles or having a bad posture. Once in a while, this pain is usually associated with problems in the spine or disks. To help relieve the pain, try doing some mild stretching exercises, using hot or cold packs, and avoiding activities that make it worse. If it doesn’t go away or get any better after a while then I think it would be wise if you consulted an orthopedist about it.

Back of the feet something
Answered on 25th May '24
Feeling some pain at the back of your feet can be Achilles tendinitis. Signs are swelling, stiffness, and aching. This happens when too much use or injury causes inflammation of the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. To relieve the discomfort rest, apply ice packs, and do gentle stretching exercises. Supportive footwear will also help. However, if the pain persists do not hesitate to seek medical attention from an orthopedist.

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.

i am 25 years old, around 1.5 months ago i had a road accident, cause of that i had injury on my forhead , i had depressed forhead (frontal bone fracture). my doctor just gave me some medicines, and ask to come after 1 month. is it normal or what should i do. i'm not facing any side effect, for me everything looks normal. i just want to know is it normal, or i should change the doctor and go for surgery or i should wait.
Answered on 29th May '24
Usually, a physician will watch and wait before deciding whether or not to operate on you. A depressed frontal bone fracture can heal itself if no problems are being caused by it. It is good that you have no side effects. Just do as the doctor says, keep on taking your medicines and don't miss any appointment for check up. In case there is any change let me know or if things get worse consult with an orthopedist as soon as possible.

Hello Doctors!! I'm 24 years old unintentionally found my bone mineral density score is -2.09 in a office health camp. After reading on internet I'm getting panic. 1.

Anyone at any age can have Osteopenia. So you’re not alone. Catching it early is wise.

Hi, I have bursitis, but there is no pain, what to do to solve this problem?
Answered on 23rd May '24
Is bursitis without pain possible? Yes, it is but it can bother you a lot. Bursitis occurs due to the inflammation of bursae, a small, fluid-filled sac located at joints. It doesn't necessarily mean that you will feel pain. But if there is swelling or stiffness, you might feel like you have swollen a joint by doing a wrong workout. Swelling can be resolved by resting and applying ice packs. The best and most effective course is to avoid participating in things that enhance the swelled part. There is a possibility that it could not go away, and the advice of an orthopedist could be sought in this case!

Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with back pain, I've been to doctors loads of times for the past 7-8 months but all they been telling me is to take pain killers and exercise, ive had a MRI scan which showed L5-S1 left subarticular disc protrusion and L4-5 facet joint arthropathies is that right for them to keep telling me to exercise?
Answered on 23rd May '24
The MRI scan reveals a disc disorder, along with an ache from the facet joint. Workouts can make your muscles healthier and render them more flexible, which is very helpful when managing the pain. You really must stick to the exercise plan of the physiotherapist without fail to reduce the damage caused. Painkillers are one way of pain relief, but the long-term solution comes from exercise, and maybe a few more such treatments like physical therapy depending on the severity of the problem.

Your symptoms are quite similar to those of sciatica. Sciatica pains are a form of irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is often responsible for the feeling. Physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary. It's important to consult a specialist, like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance tailored to your condition.

A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, including dairy products, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure, is crucial for bone health.

Answered on 23rd May '24
You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.

I feel like dizzy and stiff back in the early morning. Please suggest a solution for this??
Answered on 23rd May '24
There are many reasons why you might wake up feeling dizzy and with a sore back. It might be that you did not drink enough water before going to bed, or that you slept in an awkward position which caused your back to become stiff. To combat this, try drinking some fluids before falling asleep and refrain from shifting your weight onto alternate sides during the night. Moreover stretching gently upon waking up can help loosen any tight muscles. If none of these solutions work then it would probably be wise to consult a orthopedist.

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.

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.

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.

There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle.
