Answered on 11th Nov '24
The cramping in her leg could be a side effect of the chemotherapy she received. This is called peripheral neuropathy, which is a very common problem. Among the symptoms are pain, tingling, and muscle weakness. She should make an appointment with a neurologist for an evaluation and the doctor can find out what could be the possible treatments. In the meanwhile, mild flexing and massaging of the painful leg might be of benefit in the spasm reduction.

Leg ankle heavy pain and swelling
Female | 25
An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

I am a 29 year old male with a knee injury not sure how it happened but it’s swollen to become twice the size of my knee on the right It hurts to put pressure on it and it feels like my muscles on the outside of the knee are swollen causing the issue
Male | 29
Based on your description, you may have a knee sprain. A sprain occurs when the ligaments in the knee are stretched or torn. It includes swelling and pain, especially when you try to move your knee. Try to rest your knee, put ice on it, and elevate it. Furthermore, you can also utilize pain relievers. If it doesn't improve, go to an orthopedist.

Female | 61
The pain you are experiencing can be due to the inflammation or irritation of the nerves which are located in the back. It is vital that your doctor is aware of the pain so they can assess it and choose the most appropriate action. Treatment alternatives may contain physical therapy, medication, or further assessment in order to treat the primary issue of the pain.

I am a 20 year old young man for about three years when I walk too much my ankle gets watery and even it swells up so much that I have trouble walking what can I do?
Male | 20
It’s a medical problem called ankle edema that you seem to be suffering from. If your ankle begins to swell and becomes watery after walking for too long, it is likely to be a symptom of poor blood circulation or damage to the tissues around your ankle. This phenomenon can be the result of various factors like trauma, overweight, or even particular diseases. To minimize the swelling and pain, it is important to rest your ankle, lift it, put ice on it, and use suitable footwear. Swelling that persists should be checked by an orthopedist.

My mother have knee Pain and back Pain We think they have calcium issue
Female | 44
Your mom's knees and back might hurt because her body lacks calcium. Calcium deficiency can cause bone and muscle aches. It brings weakness, knee/back pain, and bones that break easily. Eat dairy products like milk and cheese which contain calcium. Also, leafy green veggies have lots of calcium. Supplements provide extra calcium too.

I have mild scoliosis is it treatable Is exercise is a good treatment for mild scoliosis
Male | 18
Mild scoliosis is when your spine curves sideways. This twisting condition can cause back discomfort, make one shoulder or hip higher than the other, and make you get tired faster. Exercising helps strengthen spine muscles, improving posture. So focus on stretches and strengthening moves for that curved spine. But remember, regular orthopedist checkups monitor scoliosis progress. They ensure the right steps are taken for your specific curve's treatment.

Im a female 33 years old i suffer from scoliosis since birth and ive done 3 operation the last one was in 2004 which caused injury to my spinal cord. I can feel and walk with crutch and i can take one or two step without support, my right leg is more affected than my left. I read that only injuries less than one year or 2 is perfect for stem cells, my injury is 20 years old. Would it be possible for the stem cell therapy to work in my case ? Thank you
Female | 33
You are hoping stem cell therapy might help with your scoliosis. But stem cell therapy is still being studied and is not a normal treatment for back injuries yet. Since your injury happened a while ago, it may be less likely to work well. It is important to keep following your current treatment plan. You should talk to your orthopedist about any new therapies that might help you too.

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.

I am having pain in my left ankle from at least one year every time when it's pain I use pain relief gel or take medicine and then pain stop for 5-6 days but it's again start paining after some days
Male | 14
It will not do you any good to stick pain relief gel/medication to the ankle for persistent pain. A qualified orthopedic specialist should diagnose and treat you adequately.

I got my acl and mcl surgery 4 weeks ago and now I walk without any support or knee brace it is safe or not ?? And today at bending my knee I hear a cracking sound it is possible of break the repaired acl
Male | 24
A cracking sound heard during knee flexion may raise a red flag. It might be caused by the rupture of scar tissue or movement of the joint. However, don't be frightened. Initially, it is not likely that the repaired ACL has been torn again. Still, though, for your good, stay away from practices that hurt or cause any discomfort. Keep being careful, and maybe set up a visit with your surgeon to check that everything is okay.

I was suffering from lower back pain. X-ray report says Osteoporosis with visualized endplate sclerosis. Please suggest.
Male | 28
I am sorry to say this, but the information provided is not sufficient, with X-ray it is difficult to diagnose osteoporosis.
Please provide detailed history for further diagnosis. You can reach out to me or any doctor from the following page - Rheumatologists in India.

Hi I have started to experience pain in my hard under thumb on the wrist, 6 months ago I dropped a 2 kg weight from 6ft in height it’ feel off and landed on my hand and then 4 months after started to experience pain and now a a abnormal lump come up on wrist on base of thumb
Male | 26
You may have gotten a ganglion cyst when that weight dropped. Too much pressure on your wrist joint makes fluid bubble up under the skin. The bubble's like a little bump that hurts. Try icing it, take pain meds you can buy without a prescription. If the problem stays bad or gets worse, check with an orthopedist about fixing it.

I’m 50 yrs old and have been suffering with planters fasciitis for years. It started after working at Home Depot. I seen an orthopedic back in 2002 ish, got an injection and was fine. I then left HD and came back yrs later. Now it’s back and I believe I’m also dealing with Achilles tendonitis. My mother who drove a bus for 30 yrs has also dealt with this for a very long time. She can barely walk and I’ve started limping. I don’t want this to slow me down but the doctors here in Wichita Falls are not much help and my mother hasn’t been able to get any relief in California or now in Arizona. My question is is there anything we can do. I have 6 kids, 3 of which are still in school. I can’t just slow down. And I hate seeing how miserably mother is. We are both taking Duloxitine, which helps sometimes. Besides surgery is there anything we can do?
Female | 50
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can be quite bothersome, but there are several ways to ease the pain. Try stretching exercises for your calves and feet, wear supportive shoes, use orthotic inserts, apply ice to reduce inflammation, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also important to avoid activities that make the pain worse.

Hello, I am Leah i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having back problems since last october. it’s been affecting my whole life and i have no clue what i should do.
Female | 15
One big reason for this is bad posture. It’s also possible if you were carrying around something heavy like school books in a backpack or if pulled a muscle. Here are some tips that might help: try to sit up straight when you’re sitting down, don’t pick up anything too heavy, and make sure your desk is set up correctly for you. You could also try doing some easy exercises or gentle stretches – they sometimes provide relief from these sorts of aches and pains. But if nothing changes and the ache won’t go away, you must talk to an adult about seeing an orthopedist who knows more about health.

You might have a wrist injury that is affecting both of your hands. Wrist injuries can cause symptoms like pain, swelling, and difficulty moving your hands. These types of injuries can be caused by various factors such as overuse, sudden impacts, or repetitive movements. To help with the pain and promote healing, you should rest your hands, use ice, and try gentle exercises to improve flexibility. It's also important to avoid activities that cause extra pain. If the pain continues for a long time, visit an orthopedist.

i walked too much today and i have pain in my foot joint now
Male | 21
Pain in the foot joints after walking a lot is quite common. The joints might be sore from the pressure and movement. To ease the pain, rest your foot, apply ice, and gently stretch your foot and calf muscles. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and avoid walking long distances for now.

Sir Mera knee dislocated hua hai or mujhe 1 month ka plaster lga hai to Mera question ye hai ki.plaster remove hone ke Kitna din bad me chl sakhti hun or Kitna drd rhega actually mere exam or aare hai to isliye
Female | 19
When the plaster is off, you should wait for about 2 to 4 weeks before walking normally. The first few days can be a little uncomfortable, but this is a common thing. Just relax and do short walks at first to strengthen your muscles. Getting your body to heal naturally is crucial so don't push yourself. If you have any severe pain or trouble walking, tell your orthopedist straight away.

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.
