Spinal cord complete injury
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
Complete spinal cord injuries often result in permanent disability, and the exact level and severity depend on the location of the spinal cord injury.
Rehabilitation therapy, assistive devices, and adaptive strategies are often used to help those with complete spinal cord injuries to regain as much independence and functionality as possible. Recovery from a complete spinal cord injury can be limited, but there have been improved outcomes for some.

Male | 30
You should visit and have your doctor or an orthopedic specialist who will help in determining the condition. Whether you can drive a car comfortably depending on the severity of your injury and how soon your healing progresses could not be determined.

Hi, Im a 40 year old female. i have alot of pain in my heels, which is almost unbearable now and im seeking help in regards to that. i dont know if this is related to the pain , but i have Psoriasis and got treated for it around 5 years ago, and get checkups once in a year. i think the pain might be somewhat related to Psoriasis as it is right over my heels. hope someone understands the root cause of this and helps me.
Female | 40
Your heel discomfort troubles me. Heel agony may stem from Psoriatic Arthritis, a Psoriasis-linked disorder. This condition inflames joints, causing aches and swells. Neglecting it risks permanent harm. Thus, consulting a Rheumatologist is crucial for proper assessment and therapy. They'll prescribe medicines and suggest exercises to alleviate your suffering.

Being unable to turn the left hip perfectly. And thereby it looks like one of my legs are a it longer.
Male | 32
You are having a problem in the process of turning your left hip which causes one leg to appear longer. This may be caused by a condition called hip impingement. It can lead to pain, stiffness, and rigidity of your hip which can make it hard for you to move your hip. For that, you should try gentle hip exercises and stretches to treat this. If the problem continues, it is necessary to go to an orthopedist for more tests and advice.

Muscle knots due to stress all over back and neck. Very healthy but slightly high lymphocyte count but doctors say its fine. I am so freaked out
Female | 15
Muscle knots are usually caused by stress. Stress & tension later develops in the form of muscle tightness and discomfort called muscle spasms.
Regarding your slightly high lymphocyte count, if your doctors have reassured you that it is not a cause for concern, it's generally best to trust their expertise. Minor variations in blood cell counts can occur without indicating a serious health issue.

I had an accident on November 27 2022, A cut near my right hand wrist and later I had stitches on it now my last two fingers are not working properly
Male | 22
Consult an orthopedist soon if you're experiencing reduced function in your fingers after a wrist injury and stitches. The cause of your symptoms may be nerve damage or reduced blood flow to the affected area, which results from certain types of injuries or surgical procedures.

A couple of days ago I was getting up off the floor after some push ups and lost my balance a bit and felt several cracks/pops from my left knee. I was crouching on the balls of my feet falling backwards and to try to regain balance I was leaning my knees forward in full flexion, with my thighs pressing onto my calves. I kind of collapsed one the spot, more due to surprise than in pain but it was sore after that. Now it's not really hindering me while I'm on my feet at all aside from a sense of fragility if that makes sense, though that could be more mental to be honest. However I do start to feel a tiny bit of pain and a combination of discomfort and weakness when I flex my knee approaching a 90 degrees with my thigh, both behind my knee around the end of my thigh and on top of my knee towards the outside and a bit below the kneecap.
Male | 25
Flexing your knee at around 90 degrees causes pain behind and on top of the knee. It's essential to seek medical advice to diagnose and treat the issue properly. Avoid putting stress on the knee and consider resting and elevating it until you see an orthopedist.

Hello, 3 hours ago i fell on my knee while skateboarding. Left knee over the patella now swollen a bit more left over the patella. It looks tho as if the bone slipped, might be because of the swelling but thats what concerns me. I can walk without pain and its a bit red because its a small wound now. I could send pictures. I am 22.
Male | 22
You have probably damaged your knee as a consequence of falling overboard. Swelling and maybe a bone slip are the consequence of trauma or impact caused by a fall. The good news is that you can walk without any pain. You can put a cold pack on to soothe the discomfort and raise your knee. Monitor any development and visit an orthopedist if the pain does not go away or worsens.

Back burning and chubhan
Male | 25
This might be a result of many things like straining your muscles, sleeping in a bad position, or even having problems with the nerves. You may also experience it if you have been sitting or standing for long periods or lifting heavy objects. To relieve this, you can do some gentle stretching exercises, correct your posture, and use warm pads. In case this feeling continues, visit an orthopedist.

I am 16 years old and my left knee joint is paining from yesterday night and I haved X ray the joint can you check my x ray and tell me what is the problem
Male | 16
The knee joint has a little swelling. This swelling could happen due to an injury, for instance, a sprain or strain, or perhaps an overuse. The pain you are suffering from is the common symptom of this inflammation. To aid your condition, I suggest you rest your knee, apply ice, and do easy workouts to develop the muscles around your knee. If the pain remains, you may have to visit an orthopedist to make sure everything is fine.

I have an injured knee and it hurts to walk and I believe its my LCL, do you think I need to see a docter?
Male | 18
When your knee hurts while walking and you suspect it's the LCL, it's best to rest and avoid activities that aggravate the knee. Ice packs will help relieve pain and swelling with ice. Besides, you may also consider using a knee support strap for additional help. If the pain persists or worsens, you should visit an orthopedist for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

I'm a 18 year old female and I've been having cramps in my left hand, mainly from elbow under to wrist and my fingers feel kind of stiff. It happened for the first time 3/4 days ago and went away automatically in about 20 mins. It happened twice today and again went on it's own. Nothing done to trigger it. A bit of neck pain. Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache. I can't call it painful as it does not cause pain but a bit uncomfortable.

I am having pain in my foot ball and in ankel when i walk from last 10 days. Its feel like my foot ball skin has been increased and which is squeezing when i walk with my normal sports shoes.
Male | 28
You may have a condition known as Morton's neuroma. This is when the tissue that surrounds a nerve in your foot gets thicker and causes pain that feels like a squeezing sensation when you are walking. The usual reasons may be the use of tight shoes or high heels. For this purpose, try to wear shoes with the proper space for your toes, and insoles for the better support of your feet to feel better. If the pain is continuous, then a visit to an orthopedist.

I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz
Male | 43
It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.
