Can I Improve Mobility with Osteoarthritis and Weight Loss?

Given your age and history of osteoarthritis, it is most likely caused by the wear and tear on your joints. Losing some weight gradually with a healthy diet could relieve the pressure on the knees. Additionally, physical therapy may enhance flexibility while building up muscles around these areas.

Could Fractured Ribs Cause Chest Pain While Walking?

Based on your CT scan, it looks like you have some fractures in your ribs, which could be causing the pain in your back when walking. The hemothorax next to your rib fractures is a collection of blood outside your lungs. This might be making it a bit tough for you to move around comfortably. It's great that you are resting, which is really important for healing those fractures. Make sure to keep monitoring your pain levels and follow up with your doctor for any further guidance.

How will bulging and dehydrated discs affect me?

If you have bulging or herniated discs in your lower back, it can cause pain and stiffness. This is usually due to aging, general “wear and tear,” or injury. Most of these problems can improve with physical therapy, rest, and pain medicine. Surgery may be needed in some cases. Visit an orthopedist to find out the treatment options.

Is shaky feeling in humerus fracture normal after cast?

If your arm is broken, it may feel wobbly or loose at the site of the fracture. This sensation occurs because the bones are mending themselves and trying to realign. Such feelings can last for several weeks. Ensure that you raise your arm above the level of your heart and refrain from putting any weight on it. In case this feeling doesn’t improve or becomes worse, let your orthopedist know.

Do I Have Lumbar Disc Bulge at L4-L5 Level?

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.

Could an Ingrown Toenail Cause Leg Pain?

It looks like you may have an ingrown toenail. When a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it, it can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Sometimes, it can make your whole foot feel funny or like a tendon is pulled. To help with this, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently raise the nail. If it’s really sore, see a podiatrist for help.

Why is my hand swelling and numb?

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.

Is Tasigna 200mg causing my thumb stiffness and pain?

It seems plausible that the rigidity and spasms evident in your thumb may be indicative of arthritis. Arthritis usually leads to soreness, lack of mobility, as well as a burning sensation felt at the joints around such parts as the knuckles and wrists. This could linked with the Tasigna you’re taking. To alleviate the symptoms of this condition, try doing some easy exercises, using hot or cold packs on the area or discussing potential drug changes with your physician.

Why do I have left pectoral muscle pain?

This kind of pain can be caused by muscle strain or inflammation. The pain may also occur if the muscles are overused or due to poor posture. While taking pain relievers can help for some time, resting the affected area, applying ice packs, and avoiding activities that aggravate it are equally important. In case the pain does not go away, please consult an orthopedist.

Why do I feel weird sensations in my feet?

This occurs when the nail’s edge grows into the skin, resulting in pain and redness. If left untended, an infection can develop. Your strange foot feelings and the pulled-tendon-like sensation in your leg could both be tied to this condition. To help reduce discomfort, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently massage the area. However, if the pain continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to seek help from an orthopedist.

What should I do for nerve pulling after surgery?

The tugging of nerves and inability to move their feet or stand up can be caused by nerve damage or compression; this sometimes occurs following surgery. It is important to get in touch with the surgeon who carried out the procedure so that they may assess what is happening. Additionally, physical therapy could help with regaining strength and movement.
