Is It Safe to Dumbbell at 13?

Patient's Query

Can I do dumbbell at the age of 13 years will it harm my health or hight is it is it okay to dumbbell at the age of 13 years tell me please

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

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.

I am 22 female I have a bump on my foot that is getting bruised and bigger

Female | 22

You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.

Overall imaging findings are suggestive of basilar invagination causing significant compression effect over the proximal cervical cord resulting in compressive myelopathy along with post surgical changes as detailed. Clinical and prior pre-surgical imaging correlation will be helpful. Degenerative disc disease, predominantly at C2-C3 and C3-C4 levels, resulting in moderate radicular compression, as detailed. DR SAMEERA SALMAN FCPS, MBBS SENIOR INSTRUCTOR

Female | 65

As per the imaging results, it appears that there is a situation called basilar invagination that presses the brain stem on the superior spinal cord, thus causing the formation of a condition called compressive myelopathy. The squeezing action can result in numbness and poor coordination of the body. In addition, the fact that they have degenerative disc disease at C2-C3 and C3-C4 might also be the cause of the nerve root compression. This pain, tingling, or weakness in the arms may occur. You must meet with your doctor so that the best treatment plan which may consist of, physical exercise, drugs or surgery to unburden the spinal cord if necessary can be discussed. It is not something you can overlook if you aim to prevent further complications and have a better quality of life.

Pain in left knee. Its been a year and more now. Pain inside the knee. It gets worse when I take sprint or bend or play football.

Male | 25

Inner knee pain that worsens after running, bending, or playing football could be due to an injury like a meniscus tear or ligament damage. Try resting, applying ice, and avoiding activities that increase pain. A physical therapist can guide you through exercises to strengthen your knee and relieve pain.

Why dose my tailbone hurt alot its been 4 months sense it's been hurting and it hurts to sit down certain ways and even more to get up and I've noticed I've been getting very bloated this past month even though my periods have been regular so I can't be pregnant right?

Female | 20

Pain in the tailbone area that lasts for months can be due to various reasons like injury, poor posture, or even conditions like coccydynia. The bloating you're experiencing might be unrelated to pregnancy since your periods are regular. It could be related to your diet, digestion, or even hormonal changes. It's important to have a thorough evaluation by an orthopedist to determine the exact cause. In the meantime, try sitting on a cushion, practicing good posture, and gentle stretches. I recommend scheduling an appointment to discuss your symptoms further and explore treatment options.

Подагра, лечиться ли полностью эта болезнь? Если да, то какими препаратами?

Мужской | 54

Подагра – это заболевание, связанное с накоплением мочевой кислоты, что может приводить к болезненным воспалениям суставов. Симптомы включают сильные боли, покраснение и отек. Полностью излечить данное состояние не всегда возможно, однако его можно эффективно контролировать. Препараты, такие как нестероидные противовоспалительные средства, колхицин и препараты, снижающие уровень мочевой кислоты, могут значительно облегчить симптомы. Важно обсудить с врачом индивидуальный план лечения, включая изменения в питании и образе жизни. Профессиональный медицинский совет поможет вам справиться с заболеванием и улучшить качество жизни.

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.
