It seems your mother is suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD). Symptoms include legs being heavy and stiff, walking being hard, feet being flat and, legs having discomfort. This happens when the arteries in the legs become narrow. To help, gentle exercises like walking, leg raised, use of comfortable shoes, and managing other health conditions can improve the symptoms. Please take her to an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I am suffering disc bulge

Male | 31

Suffering from a disc bulge leads to back or neck pain, which radiates into the arms or legs. To address this, consult an orthopedist, who will diagnose the condition through physical examination and imaging tests. Treatment options range from taking rest, physical therapy, and medication or surgery in severe cases.

I have a problem with my lower waist for years now

Male | 18

Back pain comes and goe­s. But hurting for years is very bad. It might mean you have­ muscles that are tight or weak. Poor posture­ or not exercising can cause this proble­m. Also, sit and stand up straight. Going to a physical the­rapist can give you exercise­s to make it better.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?

Female | 28

I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

I had shoulder pain 2 weeks back and I met the ortho who asked me to get MRI done as i could barely move my arm. I have been diagnosed with tendinosis in shoulder. I'm on medication and started physio. I want to know how long will it take to heal. I'm in pain since last evening.

Female | 35

When your shoulder tendons have tendinosis it means they're damaged. Doing too much with your arms or just getting older can cause it. The time it takes to get better is different for everybody. As long as you take the medicine and do the physio that should help. Pain can come and go while you're getting better, so don't worry if it starts hurting again. Feel better!

These­ symptoms signify heart trouble. It could be a he­art attack or angina - artery blockages. But muscle strain and indige­stion can also be possible causes. If fee­ling such things, talk to a cardiologist
