She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture
Female | 54
If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

Thigh pain can result from overuse, muscle strain, or poor blood circulation. Have you tried resting your legs, applying ice, and doing gentle stretches? Staying hydrated also helps. If the pain continues, it's best to consult an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Female | 15
You may have bad pain in the soft tissues of your foot and ankle. This can occur from things like overuse or injury. Symptoms might include pain, swelling, or problems moving your foot. It is important to rest, ice, and elevate your foot to help it heal. Ask your orthopedist about using special supports or braces to protect your foot while it heals.

Why do my feet swall up every day
Female | 24
You're experiencing daily swelling in your feet, which could be due to several reasons. This might happen from sitting or standing too long, consuming too much salt, lack of physical activity, or an underlying issue like heart or kidney problems. To reduce the swelling, try elevating your feet, staying active, and cutting down on salty foods. Discuss this with an orthopedist for further advice.

I have a ingrowing nail. Just an hour ago i feel my feet like weird and my leg feels lime a tendon has been pulled
Female | 44
It looks like you may have an ingrown toenail. When a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it, it can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Sometimes, it can make your whole foot feel funny or like a tendon is pulled. To help with this, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently raise the nail. If it’s really sore, see a podiatrist for help.

Joint pain is difficult to manage. It results from arthritis or injuries. Wyslone 5mg tablets provide relief. However, caution is necessary during breastfeeding. The medication may pass into breast milk, potentially affecting the infant. Consult your doctor about alternative options safer for breastfeeding before taking Wyslone.

Pain in right shoulder and right side ribs
Female | 27
Many reasons could explain this: a strained muscle, bruised rib, or internal organ issue. Recent falls or accidents may also be the reason —poor posture, overusing muscles too. First, try this: ice packs, rest that side. If pain persists, or worsens, it's the time to ask an orthopedist for help.

Male | 54
Your father is feeling pain due to Shoulder Arthritis; it’s a common affliction. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, and difficulty moving the shoulder. The main causes are wear and tear on the joint and aging. Just applying hot water or ointments for pain relief is not adequate. For more effective treatments like physical therapy or medication, seek help from an orthopedist.

Hi, my mother has Osteoarthritis and thus she suffers from chronic knee pain. Just wanted to know how effective stem cell therapy may be in her case. I also have a few doubts listed below: What are the benefits of stem cell therapy for osteoarthritis (if any)? What is the down-time after the procedure? My mother is a teacher and doesn't have the provision to take too many leaves. How much a procedure like this likely to cost?
As per my understanding you want to know stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Recently one of the companies has announced that it has received approval from FDA, for clinical trial, for use of stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis. So results of stem cell therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis are still awaited. Consult an orthopedic, who on examining the patient will guide you with the best treatment available for the patient. Consult Orthopedic Physiotherapy doctors in Mumbai, or any other city which you feel will be better. Hope this has helped you.

why do the bottom of my feet hurt actually painful aftera work day
Male | 66
After a long day at work, the foot soles that suffer the most are an issue for many people. One of the reasons could be having to stand or walk for a long time, wearing uncomfortable shoes, or not having time to rest your feet. It can be like hurting or having a sore. Some of the ways that may offer relief are: soaking your feet in warm water, massaging them, or using supportive shoes might be the solutions. Not only will it make your feet feel better, but it will also help with the pain.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.
Male | 27
It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

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.

My mother is 55 years old. A little obesity. She got her surgery for Haglund deformity causing Achilles tendonitis. After two weeks the suture was removed. Till that time she was on antibiotics and antimicrobial treatment alongwith calcium and pain killer. But now it's been 3-4 weeks post surgery . The post surgical site is black and I don't feel like it's healing. What to do?
Female | 55
It is recommended to go to the orthopedic surgeon who performed the operation and get the area examined. The black color could mean an infection or poor healing. It is necessary to have it diagnosed to take the treatment appropriately.
