What to Do About Swelling in Legs Post Treatment?
There's been swelling in my legs after the treatment; what should I do about it?
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 11th Oct '24
If you notice any swelling in your legs after treatment, you must do so. Swelling can occur due to fluid build-up or blood flow changes. In some instances, medications may also be the culprits. While sitting, be sure to elevate your legs and avoid standing for too long. Going around can also aid. Should the swelling continue or the worsening of it be the case, be sure to inform an orthopedist immediately.

My finger is in a lot of pain and I can hardly bend it. Could it be broken?
Female | 18
A hurt finger that won't bend easily might be broken. A broken finger can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving it. To confirm, get an X-ray. For pain relief, keep the finger still, apply ice, and elevate your hand. It's important to see an orthopedist for proper care.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is frequently assumed to be a source of lower back and/or leg discomfort, however it is sometimes difficult to diagnose. The sacroiliac joint, which connects the triangle bone at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum) to the pelvis, can cause discomfort if its natural mobility is disrupted. More precisely, sacroiliac joint discomfort can be caused by excessive or insufficient movement.
• Leg pain produced by sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be difficult to distinguish from radiating leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (sciatica) since they can feel quite similar.
• The major reasons of SI joint dysfunction include - Too much or lack of movement.
• Too much movement in the sacroiliac joint (hypermobility or instability) can cause the pelvis to feel unstable and produce discomfort. Excessive mobility causes pain in the lower back and/or hip, which can extend into the groin, whereas lack of movement (hypomobility or fixation) can result in muscular tension, discomfort, and a reduction in mobility.
• Sacroiliac joint inflammation (sacroiliitis) can also cause pelvic discomfort and stiffness. Inflammation may arise as a result of sacroiliac joint dysfunction or as a result of an infection, rheumatoid disease, or other cause.
• There is no one-size-fits-all solution for controlling SI joint discomfort. For successful pain management, a combination of non-surgical therapies is frequently required.
• Treatment includes – resting for 1 to 2 days, applying ice or heat (applying it to lower back reduces inflammation and alleviates pain and discomfort; applying around the joint provides relief from pain), pain relievers like paracetamol and inflammation treating agents such as NSAID’s are recommended in case of mild or moderate pain relief. Muscle relaxants or high-end pain killers can be prescribed in case of episodes of severe and acute pain, Manual manipulation can be effective if sacroiliac joint pain is caused due to too little movement, Support or braces can be used to stabilize the pelvic area and sacroiliac joint injections such as anaesthetics such as lidocaine along with anti-inflammatory medicine like corticosteroids are given to reduce inflammation and pain.
Consult an Orthopedics for further investigations and customised treatment.

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.

4th PP base fracture and 5th MC dislocation L hand
Male | 22
You likely experienced a fracture in your 4th finger and dislocation of the 5th. Breaks and joint misalignments can occur due to accidents or falls. Pain, swelling, restricted movement: these symptoms indicate potential issues. Treatment often involves splints or casts to immobilize affected areas during healing. Though concerning initially, proper care should facilitate full recovery over time.

I have had patellar tendon repair surgery 3 weeks ago . I am now experiencing a burning sensation and tenderness does this mean the tendon has retorn or is this normal
Female | 26
It is a common issue among patients after the patellar tendon repair to have to deal with a burning sensation and tenderness. This may inflammation or irritation in the specific area of the operation as it is healing. These signs are normally a part of the healing process and are not the right indication of the recurrence of the tendon. To relieve the pain, you can wrap your leg with an elastic bandage and put it on the top of the pillows. Strictly follow your post-op care instructions and attend the follow-up appointments to let your doctor track your recovery.

My mother is 62 years old and has had recently gone under ORIF for her elbow injury. She has a history of rheumatoid arthritis and also osteoporosis sue to her age. She takes hypertension medicine and controls pre-diabetes with diet. It's been 10 days since her surgery, she has a temporary plaster and we haven't got the x-ray yet. What are her chances of full recovery? Can there be any complications because of arthritis and how can we prevent those?
Female | 62
Considering your mother's age, medical history, and recent elbow procedure, her chances of complete healing are good. However, arthritis can sometimes slow down recovery. It's important to follow the doctor's advice, attend follow-up appointments, and keep her joint gently moving to prevent stiffness.

Chest and back pain very hard
Female | 47
Chest and back pain together normally occur due to muscle strain. This can happen while doing everyday activities like lifting heavy things. Be sure to rest, and apply ice. Aspirin will ease the pain. If you are not sitting and lifting with a straight and proper posture, it may lead to chest and back pain as a result of muscle strain. If you still experience the same pain or it turns out to be severe, then it is necessary to visit an orthopedist.

I am a 20 year old female I am having shoulder and chest pain form 2 months..
Female | 20
Pain in these muscles can sometimes be caused by muscle overstrain, wrong posture, or even emotional stress. Keep your posture in check, make time for rest from activities that require repetitive motions, and try to learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or yoga. If the pain persists or becomes even more excruciating, you should consult with an orthopedist to get a more thorough examination and advice.

Iam 31 male.I am facing issue is my upper middle back body is hurting daily from the last 6 months after sleeping or moving my body when lying down i feel like muscle catchy or squeezing Some said this is due to acidity or gas but I don't know what is exactly I'm suffering this daily.when i try to get up it hurts even more
Male | 31
You are describing muscle pain caused by poor posture in the middle of your upper back. There are a lot of possible diseases, such as bad posture, muscle overuse, or muscle surgery. The next common reason may be correlated with acid reflux or heartburn. To relieve your symptoms, try to adjust your sitting position, do gentle stretching exercises, and not eat foods that bother you with acidity. If you are still experiencing pain, visit an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Spine pain after encountering of an injury while doing push ups did some treatment Pain has started again so wanted to check up L3 and L5
Male | 45
The pain in your mid and lower back (L3 and L5 지역) is recurring again after push ups. This may be caused by a muscle or ligament strain from the past injury. The symptoms can be a dull pain, stiffness, or piercing pain in the back. To care for this apply ice packs, and mild stretches, and stay away from activities that aggravate the pain. If the pain is still bothering you, consult with an orthopedist to get a physical examination.

From one month onwards right forearm pain
Female | 31
You mentioned pain in your right forearm for a month. That's an annoying problem. There might be multiple causes - maybe overusing your arm or a strained muscle. Resting, icing the area, and gentle stretching may provide relief. However, if the discomfort persists, consulting a orthopedist would be wise.

I’m 56 year old lady. I have pain in left hand since last 2 months. My Vitamin D recent one week ago test shows value 23.84 Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? Please guide.
Female | 56
Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.
