I have a sprain in my finger for 2 weeks

Male | 23

Your finger has been sprained. This happens when the ligaments (bands connecting bones) stretch or tear. It leads to pain, swelling, and trouble moving your finger. To aid recovery, rest your finger. Ice it. Wrap it with a bandage. Keep it elevated. Don't move it excessively until the discomfort subsides.

I have vibration or sensation in scrotum a month ago I do deadlift please gave me permanent solution I'm so worried

Male | 18

The vibration or sensation could be due to a muscle strain from the deadlift exercise, causing irritation of the nerves in that area. In fact, it's a common issue when the pelvic floor muscles get stressed during certain activities. To help, try avoiding heavy lifting for now, apply ice to reduce any swelling, and consider gentle stretching exercises. If the sensation persists or worsens, it's best to consult with a sexologist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice.

Male | 31

You are describing muscle pain caused by poor posture in the middle of your upper back. There are a lot of possible diseases, such as bad posture, muscle overuse, or muscle surgery. The next common reason may be correlated with acid reflux or heartburn. To relieve your symptoms, try to adjust your sitting position, do gentle stretching exercises, and not eat foods that bother you with acidity. If you are still experiencing pain, visit an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Male | 54

Your father is feeling pain due to Shoulder Arthritis; it’s a common affliction. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder. The main causes are wear and tear on the joint and aging. Just applying hot water or ointments for pain relief is not adequate. For more effective treatments like physical therapy or medication, seek help from an orthopedist.

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.

I am 17 years old female. A heavy metal object fell on my knee which caused bruising. I didn't have any pain after that but then in June my knee started to hurt for a few days. The pain was mild. Then in September the pain came back and it was worse. My knee had swelled up a bit, my knee was popping and it hurt continuously for 3 weeks. After that my knee pain calmed down a bit but it has been hurting mildly continuously since then.

Female | 17

Sounds to me like you've somehow injured your knee, which can trigger swelling in the knee, pain, and the popping of the joint. The first impact might cause an internal shift, due to which your symptoms might be explained. Advisably, you should stop addressing your knee; in such cases, the application of ice cubes will, no doubt, help diminish swelling, and finally, resting your leg a little higher might be helpful. Analgesia drugs, such as those bought without any prescription may also, be of some use, but much stress must be given to the examinations of an orthopedist. They can examine your knee in detail and advise on treatments that will help you improve.

Female | 60

You may have done a number on your knee with that accident from when you fell down the stairs nine years ago. You could be feeling the pain of that older wound now. Common symptoms of a knee injury are pain, swelling, and difficulty moving. You can attack the pain by first resting your leg, applying cold, and taking pain medication if needed. If the pain continues, it's best to consult a orthopedist, for examination and treatment.

Male | 28

Experiencing stinging discomfort in your knees after waking can stem from various factors such as inflammation, tendon issues, or even posture during sleep. It’s essential to assess your sleeping position and ensure proper support for your legs and knees. Incorporating gentle stretching or low-impact exercises into your routine may alleviate tension and improve flexibility. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight can reduce stress on your joints. If these symptoms persist, I recommend consulting an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation.

Why does my achilles tendon hurt after running?

Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.

The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.
