I would advise consulting with an orthopedic surgeon focusing on hand surgery. Delaying the care seeking should be avoided and even more so when Medicaid can reimburse treatment costs.

What is best treatment for ACL disturb from shoulder sife
Male | 44
Your shoulder issue seems like a rotator cuff injury. Pain rises when you lift your arm or reach overhead. You feel weakness in the shoulder area too. It gets tough to move your arm in certain ways. Resting is key for healing. Physical therapy helps strengthen shoulder muscles. If the injury is bad, surgery may be required. Don't do things that make pain worse. Visit an orthopedist for full recovery.

Your ankle discomfort is unfortunate. Sprains, strains, or arthritis might cause ankle pain. Here's R.I.C.E to ease it: rest, apply ice, compress with a bandage, and elevate your leg. Over-the-counter pain relievers may also help. If the pain persists, don't hesitate to consult an orthopedist.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion
Female | Ranganayagi
Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

I am a 70 year old male and have been having pain in both my shoulders and knees for the last 6 months. I have used medicines and pain reliever ointment cream for few days but there is no relief. What should I do now?
Male | 70
Joint pain like this could be due to osteoarthritis, which is common in older people. As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, leading to discomfort. It's important to stay active to maintain flexibility and strength but avoid activities that make the pain worse. Gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help. Physical therapy can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joints and improve mobility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but it's essential to consult with an orthopedist before starting any new medication.

Hi I’m nafisa 24 yrs old I have back pain at right side through the chest it’s light muscle stain when I try to move I’m feeling it I have last 4 days
Female | 24
You likely have a muscle strain on your back's right side. It's causing chest pain. Muscle strains happen when you move stressfully. You'll feel pain while moving. Rest up. Ice the area. Take over-the-counter pain meds if needed. Try gentle stretches. Avoid activities worsening the pain. If it doesn't improve or worsens, see an orthopedist

I’m curious how much this usually cost, I have pre existing sprain or slight tears as well. That I’m sure this or stem cells else where could fix. I’m just looking for a ball park range since insurance won’t convert it
Male | 31
It is difficult to estimate the cost without knowing the severity of your injury and the treatment required. You can also visit hospitals that provide stem cell therapy and discuss your options with the specialists and getting a detailed cost breakdown, insurance coverage before proceeding with any treatment.

Right hip subchondral sclerosis with fewill defindradiolucent areasnoted inhead of right femur
Male | 34
Subchondral sclerosis is when the bone becomes harder. Radiolucent areas are places where the bone isn’t as dense. These changes can cause pain and stiffness in the hip area. They may occur because of natural aging processes and wear and tear on our bodies over time. To relieve these symptoms, try doing exercises or going for physical therapy sessions.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.
Male | 16
Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Index finger ki upar pain ho raha hai
Female | 21
Suppose your index finger experienced pain at the top, several explanations are possible: excessive typing or from activities like tossing a frisbee. At times, such pain might be due to an infection or injury. Give your finger rest and steer clear of the activities causing the pain to worsen. The application of ice packs can significantly reduce swelling and aches as well. If the pain doesn't get better or even becomes sharper, consult with an orthopedist.

I know it gonna take time but everytime i or my nurse change the dressing it got bleed bec when i have to walk all wounds of my leg start bleeding maybe stretch of tissues i don't use that leg to walk. But even it bleed. I don't know what's to do. It's like whenever i do dressing the wound get damaged and bleed because the bandage gets to stick to it because of blood.

And lil bit sorry for the bad explanation. And thanks
Male | 17
The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.

Male | 42
The discomfort you're experiencing might be connected to your meniscus tear surgery. Sometimes after surgery, our bodies can surprise us by reacting in a way that is not expected. I suggest supportive footwear, practicing targeted stretches for the foot, and taking a vitamin D supplement.

Sir meri Back bone k nechay k hisay mein hole hai jis sey blood aur pus ata hai mein kia kro
Male | 27
You may have an abscess in the sacral region. It could lead to the formation of a sinus that discharges blood or pus. You may experience tenderness, local heat, or swelling around this place. Abscesses occur as a result of infections most of the time. It is important to visit an orthopedist immediately to incise and drain it then give antibiotics for treatment.

Ankle swelling no pain But all time swelling
Female | 49
Painless ankle swelling may come from fluid buildup or poor blood flow. Our bodies retain too much water at times. Blood circulation issues in legs can also cause swelling. Raising your legs and cutting salt may help. But if swelling remains, see an orthopedist for evaluation.

Muje back spin pain hora gai
Male | 18
Your back may hurt because of lifting heavy objects, sitting around too much, or moving the wrong way. To feel better you should rest as much as possible and use either ice packs or heating pads on the affected area for short periods. In addition, try some gentle stretching exercises but be careful not to overdo it. If the pain continues, visit an orthopedist.

Hi, I fell over and hurt my ankle 3 weeks ago. It is still swollen. I can walk on it without pain but have pain after when I sit down just wondering if I should seek medical attention h have been ice rest elevation and compression it
Female | 20
Caring for your ankle by icing, resting, elevating, and compressing is wise. However, swelling lasting 3 weeks raises concern. Walking pain-free is positive, yet sitting discomfort hints at lingering issues. Consult an orthopedist to rule out serious problems. Meanwhile, continue icing, resting and elevating.

I am 53 yrs old recently I had surgery from fortis hospital Post operative appearance with orthopedic device, plates and screws seen in situ. There is evidence of a persistent fracture line in the distal femoral condyle with extensions involving patellofemoral articular surface, intercondylar notch, medial and lateral condyle reaching tibiofemoral articular surface. Proximal visualized shaft of left femur shows diffuse cortical thickening, coarse trabeculation and patchy intramedullary sclerosis. Proximal end of fracture does not show any clearly demonstrable callus formation or periosteal reaction suggesting hypo/oligotrophic fracture healing. Multiple well defined small bony hyperdensities are seen within the fracture line. Extensive surrounding soft tissue stranding and fluid density seen within the intercondylar notch area. Osteoarthritic changes seen involving the knee joint with tibial spiking, marginal osteophytes, significantly reduced medial tibiofemoral joint space.
