At 13 years old, it's absolutely okay to start incorporating dumbbell exercises into your routine! It can actually be a great way to build strength and stay healthy. However, it's essential to use the right weight and proper form to avoid any injuries. As long as you start with lighter weights, focus on technique, and don't overdo it, you should be just fine. Dumbbells won't stunt your growth or harm your health if used correctly. If you're new to this, maybe have a coach or parent guide you initially.

Cervical injury, many doctors check but not relief

Male | 25

The cervical injury normally comes with pain in the neck region. The reasons behind this can be accidents, incorrect posture, or too much hard work. For relief, first, rest your neck, use ice packs, and take pain medication if your doctor prescribes it. However, ensuring you get a professional opinion is important if the pain does not go away.

My son leg frecture XR Report submitted to you please give me advice it's leg properly alignment or not please give me advice

Male | 5 year's

Proper alignment of the bone is crucial for healing. Symptoms to watch for include swelling, pain, or difficulty moving the leg. Fractures may occur from accidents or falls. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding any splints or casts to support recovery. Monitoring for any unusual symptoms, such as increased pain or redness, is important. I recommend a follow-up visit with his orthopedist to assess alignment and ensure appropriate healing.

I had bypass surgery from left to right leg, balloon was placed to open blood flow, had stent put in on left side, im home now but experiencing leg pain and every once in awhile sharp pain on top of foot , is this normal ? I can find pulse on top of foot , dr said to find that if i can

Female | 57

Having some pain and discomfort in your leg after bypass surgery and having a stent put in is normal. The cause of the leg pain might be your body getting used to the new blood flow and the healing process. The sharp pain on your foot's top may be nerve irritation. It's good you can feel the pulse on your foot, but if the pain gets severe or doesn't improve, it's important to let your orthopedist know. Meanwhile, keep your leg elevated, take any prescribed pain medication, and gently massage your leg to ease the discomfort.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?

As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

Hi I am Nantha 27yrs old I had injury in my ring finger inflamed I can't do any work if I move my finger I can hear sound it's so painful

Male | 27

This can be because of the finger getting hurt or overused. Inflammation makes the movement of the finger painful and also popping sounds are produced. Resting your finger, applying ice, and taking painkillers like Ibuprofen can be helpful. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist for a more appropriate treatment.

I have left knee meniscus pain leftknee right side pain how to reduce pain walk na i have pain steps down na pain pls tell me sir how many days reduce pain

Female | 28

Pain on the outer side of your left knee could be due to a meniscus tear. The meniscus is a wedge of cartilage in your knee, and when it's torn, it can cause swelling. For pain relief, try to avoid activities that make it worse, like walking and climbing stairs. Resting your knee, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain medicines can help. However, if the pain continues for several days or worsens, visit an orthopedist.

I got my knee patella dislocated for first time 2 weeks ago and today my plaster got dispatched. My knee has swelling is it due to plaster? And I am not able to bend it I am able to stand properly on both legs but while walking my knee can’t hold my weight properly. Will this automatically take time to be normal or should I do some exercises? And what to do to reduce swelling?

Male | 19

Swelling after causing a dislocated patella is usual. The plaster may play a part in the swelling, however, the major reason behind the injury is. Difficulty bending and walking are expected early on. As the knee mends, this will improve slowly over time. Light exercises your orthopedist suggests can stretch and strengthen your knee. Resting, elevating your leg, applying ice packs, and taking prescribed medications if necessary to reduce swelling will be helpful.

After 4 months of Achilles tendon surgery, you can return to physical activities only with the consent of your orthopedic surgeon. You might have to begin with mild exercises and slowly intensify your exercise. Wear appropriate shoes, and always warm up before the exercise. A physiotherapist should be consulted for a smooth and successful recovery.

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. Is this condition (osteopenia) common in a person of my age? 2. Can I get back to normal score? 3. Can I reverse by using vitamin and mineral supplements? Thanks in advance ????????

Male | 24

Anyone at any age can have Osteopenia. So you’re not alone. Catching it early is wise. Eat foods with calcium, get vitamin D from the sun, and do some walking or other weight-bearing exercises so you can pick up your score. Consider taking supplements if there’s a lack of them in your body, but always consult an orthopedist first.

I have history of injury 2 months back my mri report says I have partial ACL tear with PCL sprain. I have very instability does it require surgery

Female | 18

Your knee injury involves a partly torn ACL and strained PCL ligaments. These issues destabilize the knee joint. Symptoms include discomfort, swelling, and trouble walking. Surgery may sometimes repair ligaments, restoring stability. However, discuss treatment choices with an orthopedist knowledgeable about your specific case.

Conclusion: Hypointense fracture of the metaphysis of the tibia proximally with stress edema of the bone. Moderate suprapatellar and minor intra-articular effusion. Irritation of suprapatellar fat. ACL femoral condyle distension. Possible partial rupture of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus. Distension of the proximal tibiofibular joint.

Female | 27

After going through your tests, it looks like the shinbone is fractured near the joint with a gradually progressive fracture inside the bone. Besides, there is liquid in the knee with some tension in the fat pad over the patella. The anterior ligament of the knee may be strained and the meniscus, a disc in the knee, may have a minor tear. The bones are separated, namely the shinbone, and the smaller leg bones are stretched. This will bring about pain, swelling, and at times impaired mobility of the knee. Resting, elevating the lower limb, using ice, and probably a brace could be an excellent start for a cure. In some situations, physiotherapy or surgery might be required for the knee to become stronger and better. You mustn't put any weight on the leg with the problem no matter what until an orthopedist advises the opposite.

I came back from gym I stuffed 2 pounds and 1 50 in my sock I left it and the shoes pressed the coins against the skin (I ignored it) when I came back from gym I saw when I took my socks off my feet had circles where the coins were and it was blue is it meaning I will get cancer I’m worried I washed the colour off but there still is some left

Male | 18

Bruises, like the one from coins pressing against your feet, happen when tiny blood vessels break. The skin turns purple or blue from leaking blood underneath. These usually fade away on their own after some time. Just be careful not to put more pressure there. The bruise should go away without issues. However, let an orthopedist know if you see anything concerning.

Your complaint involves the left side of the chest and shoulder/collar bone which has been present for the past two weeks. It may be caused by many things like a muscle strain, an injury, or even heartburn. Besides that, other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, sweating, or nausea may also be present in more severe cases. It's of the utmost importance to rest, apply ice, and stay away from vigorous exercises. Should the pain be persistent or get worse, you are advised to see an orthopedist.
