I think I have a meniscus tear

Female | 13

Your problem might be a torn meniscus, which is a cushion inside the knee. It can tear from twisting, bending, or wear and tear. Symptoms include pain, swelling, popping sounds, and the knee locking. You can treat it with rest, ice packs, keeping your leg raised, and doing physical therapy exercises. Surgery may be needed for severe tears.

Female | 30

The swelling and pain you're experiencing, along with a partial ACL and meniscus tear, suggest ongoing inflammation or irritation, which may not respond fully to anti-inflammatories. It’s essential to explore further options, such as physical therapy, knee bracing, or even consulting an orthopedist for potential surgical evaluation. Rest, ice, and gentle movements might help alleviate some discomfort.

I am Mamta devi.before 4 months did my hip replacement surgery,and that time my bone was crack .now i have pain' in my surgery place.what i do?

Female | 65

One of the significant problems that you have to recognize and take care of is the pain in your hip that you are experiencing after the surgery. Pain at the surgery site could be a symptom of various issues such as an infection, loosening of the implant, or a fracture. The hypothesis of the pain caused by the previously broken bone is still a possibility. Visit your orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and discuss treatment options.

Now almost 2week are done without wearing supporter. Earlier I was wearing the supporter for one month .now also I am having pain in fracture area and there is no swelling left but while bending the fractured joint area in my small finger the pain is happening.i can't lift heavy things with my finger .

Male | 15

Make sure to allow your finger to rest and recover the way it is supposed to. For starters, you don't want to pressure it too much and keep on being delicate with it. If the pain continues, consult an orthopedist for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with back pain, I've been to doctors loads of times for the past 7-8 months but all they been telling me is to take pain killers and exercise, ive had a MRI scan which showed L5-S1 left subarticular disc protrusion and L4-5 facet joint arthropathies is that right for them to keep telling me to exercise?

Male | 22

The MRI scan reveals a disc disorder, along with an ache from the facet joint. Workouts can make your muscles healthier and render them more flexible, which is very helpful when managing the pain. You really must stick to the exercise plan of the physiotherapist without fail to reduce the damage caused. Painkillers are one way of pain relief, but the long-term solution comes from exercise, and maybe a few more such treatments like physical therapy depending on the severity of the problem.

Muscle distop is genitck My genitck report is - Sir please help me

Male | 22

If your genetic report for muscular dystrophy is negative, its less likely that you have inherited the genetic mutations associated with the disorder. Not all genetic mutations are detected by genetic testing, and other factors like environmental and lifestyle can also contribute to muscle weakness or wasting. Consult an orthopedist for proper diagnosis.

Good afternoon, I have been having waist pain frequently in the past few weeks. Yesterday I was having muscle pull consistently for several hours intermittently

Male | 53

It appears that you have recently been having some lower back pain as well as muscle pulls. These could be due to things like bad posture, overworking yourself or even just pulling a muscle while making a sudden move. To reduce your discomfort, try doing some gentle stretches, using warm packs, and resting when necessary.

Hello, doctor. The posterior cruciate and anterior cruciate ligaments in my right knee are torn. Do you think I need surgery? If surgery is necessary, what kind of treatment would you recommend?

Erkek | 23

Whether surgery is necessary depends on the severity of the tears and how they affect your daily activities. Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and bracing, can sometimes effectively manage symptoms. However, if these approaches do not provide relief and your knee remains unstable, surgical reconstruction may be recommended. I encourage you to consult with an orthopedic specialist who can assess your situation thoroughly and help determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Male | 23

Aapki symptoms jaise kamzori, haddi dard, aur bechaini kuch health issues ka nishan ho sakte hai, jo aksar nutritional deficiencies ya stress se bhi hote hain. 14 ghante ka kaam aur bed rest ke baad aapka body recovery ke liye time le raha hoga. Calcium aur vitamin supplements zaroori ho sakte hain, lekin sabse behtar hai ke aap kisi orthopedist se consult karein, jo aapki puri jaanch karke sahi treatment suggest kar sakte hain.

I wanted to know if my xray is normal or is there any fracture

Male | 20

To determine if there’s a fracture, we look for pain, swelling, or difficulty moving the affected area, as these symptoms can indicate an injury. Fractures can happen due to falls, accidents, or overuse. If your X-ray shows abnormalities, your doctor will explain the findings and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include rest, immobilization, or physical therapy. It’s always best to consult with your orthopedist for an accurate assessment and tailored advice. They can guide you on the next steps to ensure your well-being.

Had an MRI and was told "There is mild chondral thinning, joint space narrowing involving the fourth and fifth TMT joints with some subtle subarticular bony oedema both sides of the fourth TMT joint." This is after 5 months of having an injury, I feel a lot of swelling in my extensor digitorium brevis (oedema) in my right foot, but this week I started feeling the same feelings in my left foot, I need some guidance or help please because it's difficult to do physical activity with and it's swelling whenever at rest.

Male | 21

The MRI results closest show some mild desquamation of the joints, which may cause swelling and pain. The swelling in your extensor digitorum brevis muscle could be possibly related to the joint issues. Avoid these movements at first, put ice on them, and try stretches that don't need a lot of force. Besides that, you might notice a difference if you wear supportive shoes.
