Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.

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.

I am suffering disc bulge

Male | 31

Suffering from a disc bulge leads to back or neck pain, which radiates into the arms or legs. To address this, consult an orthopedist, who will diagnose the condition through physical examination and imaging tests. Treatment options range from taking rest, physical therapy, and medication or surgery in severe cases.

Nerve swelling like bulb in lower leg near tibia

Male | 21

You've got the symptoms of a ganglion cyst. These are small liquid-filled bumps that can evolve near your tibia. Typically this doesn't hurt but sometimes it can be uncomfortable or give a feeling of being under pressure. They oftentimes disappear on their own, however, if you are hurt by it you can attempt to apply ice and rest on your leg. It is important to see an orthopedist to examine it, in case it doesn't improve.

The accident you experienced days ago could cause this pain. Sometimes, injuries make tissues in our hands get hurt, leading to discomfort. You must rest your hand and apply ice to minimize swelling - raise it too. Give your hand a break so it can properly recover.

I was about going to sleep at night when I started feeling some twitching around my eyes coupled with some electric-like shocks on my face. When I slept and woke up, I discovered it had increased. My face looked swollen, and my mouth was somehow tight. I couldn't whistle with it or shape it any way I wanted to. I couldn't open it wide. I couldn't close my eyes without pain and It was blinking even when I closed it and it was like a stress to my nose when I closed one of the eye or both. All of these relieved me in two days time. And my eyes could close better without pressure and my mouth functions was back to normal. But after some days I discovered that my posture has changed and my left hip bone is tight. My left leg has some rotation making it look like it's tight. My glute seems tight and my left hip look like it's forward, making my Left leg to appear longer and my walking posture to change. I can run, I can shoot with my both legs. Just that I'm having tighness in my left hip or pelvis. This has made me to walk in a different manner. Pls what can I do?

Male | 32

You may have experienced a condition called Bell's Palsy, which causes facial muscle weakness and can affect your posture. Bell's Palsy is usually due to nerve inflammation that controls facial muscles, leading to symptoms like twitching, facial swelling, and difficulty closing your eyes or moving your mouth. While most cases heal on their own, it's important to monitor any new symptoms. Initially, your posture changes and tightness in your left hip were the main concerns. Stretching exercises can help improve your range of motion and correct your posture. Consulting a physiotherapist or orthopedist can help you manage these symptoms professionally.

Is a longer femur or longer tibia better for sprinting speed?

Male | 24

Having a longer femur is better for sprinting speed. The femur is your thigh bone. A longer femur helps power your sprints. However, a longer tibia below your knee strains leg muscles. A longer femur gives you an advantage for sprinting speed. Be sure to train safely and avoid overworking muscles though.

I am 50 year old female. I have pain in my heel since last 3 months. After visiting a orthopaedic doctor, I found out that my uric acid was slightly over the limit. Doc said it’s elevated because of consumption of whey protein(for very short duration I had). I consumed prescribed medications for few weeks but could not continue with the course as it was very heavy medication. The heel pains when I get up to walk and takes a few minutes for it to subside. Please advise

Female | 50

You might be suffering from plantar fasciitis, a situation where the tissue that links your heel to your toes gets inflamed. In some situations, high uric acid levels may be a contributing factor to such pain. The discomfort is worse in the morning when you start walking out of bed. Stretch your calf and foot muscles and wear shoes that provide proper support. In addition, users can also use ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers as possible remedies. However, if the pain still does not go away, it is best to go back to an orthopedist for an updated diagnosis.

Hello I am interested in doing a limb lengthening surgery but I have a fear of inserting a metal rod can doctors also have an option to insert a bone graft(which is from another donor) so that it will be more good for PPL

Male | 19

Although metal rods are often used in this process, I understand that patients may be very apprehensive. Bone grafts from donors can also be a choice, but they are scarce and depend on the case. The method of this type of treatment is to promote natural growth that will be fully integrated into your body. It is important to consider all options with a skilled orthopedic surgeon, so that they can thoroughly assess your situation and suggest the best approach.

Had an MRI and was told "There is mild chondral thinning, joint space narrowing involving the fourth and fifth TMT joints with some subtle subarticular bony oedema both sides of the fourth TMT joint." This is after 5 months of having an injury, I feel a lot of swelling in my extensor digitorium brevis (oedema) in my right foot, but this week I started feeling the same feelings in my left foot, I need some guidance or help please because it's difficult to do physical activity with and it's swelling whenever at rest.

Male | 21

The MRI results closest show some mild desquamation of the joints, which may cause swelling and pain. The swelling in your extensor digitorum brevis muscle could be possibly related to the joint issues. Avoid these movements at first, put ice on them, and try stretches that don't need a lot of force. Besides that, you might notice a difference if you wear supportive shoes.

I have pain in my legs bone since 10 days I can't sit same style only for 10 minutes so what I do

Female | 16

It may happen because of excessive strain, trauma, or inflammation. Prioritize alleviating pressure; grant your limbs respite. Cold compresses and delicate massage techniques can help. If you feel persisting symptoms visit a orthopedist.
