Why do I have dull hip pain when walking/sitting?

It seems that you have muscle pain on the outside right hip region. This pain could have been caused by changing shoes. Muscles can ache if they are tense or strained. In addition, if you are too thin, your muscles may easily get tired. Put on supportive footwear, stretch gently and take a good diet so that your muscles can heal. Also, make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the ache.

Why hasn't my hand bone healed properly yet?

It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

Why is my penis swollen and bruised?

It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Why Am I Experiencing Sharp Shooting Pain Right Side?

It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

Is hypermobility causing my yoga stretches to hurt?

It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

Can I recover from bulging disc and return to active lifestyle?

Bulging and annular tear discs at L4 and L5 mean the discs in your lower back are damaged and dehydrated, which is causing your pain. Most cases improve with physical therapy, rest, and medication, and surgery is often not needed. However, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist for a proper treatment plan. They can give you the best advice on recovery and return to activities like gym and cycling.

Why do I have knee pain climbing stairs?

This may occur when there is a sudden increase in physical activity which puts stress on these joints. Rest the knee, put some ice on it, and avoid anything that makes the pain worse for a few days. If the pain continues after this time then I would advise speaking with an orthopedist.

Could my knee pain be Jumper's knee from concrete work?

You may be dealing with patellar tendonitis - or “jumper’s knee”. This is typically caused by the tendon below your kneecap becoming inflamed due to activities such as standing all day on hard surfaces. Common signs include pain beneath the kneecap that worsens when moving. The upside is that taking some time off, using ice packs, and doing some light stretching exercises can help relieve discomfort. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

Can arthritis cause stomach nerve pain?

Your mother appears to be suffering from arthritis for a long time. The pain in her arm may be caused by joint inflammation which indicates that it’s a nerve problem if she experiences discomfort in the stomach too. When people have arthritis, sometimes they undergo a situation where nerves get affected hence feeling pain in different body parts apart from those with affected joints. To minimize the pain she is going through she should do gentle exercises, use warm towels if possible, and get drugs prescribed by a physician.

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.

You are faced with some pain as a result of arthritis connected to an old knee injury together with your ongoing active life. Inflammation due to arthritis may lead to the feeling you’re experiencing. To get better, indulge in light workouts, try out cold and hot therapy, or even take some drugs or visit an orthopedist.
