Is my swollen ankle just a sprain or fracture?
Yesterday I was playing football ⚽️ and while playing football on ground with my friends I fall while changing direction my ankle was not rolled but still it started paining and while playing I can't feel the pain more and played for some time but after coming the pain increases I saw that my ankle was swollen and it was paining just above the bone not directly on the bone but just above it I want to clarify that it is just a sprain or fracture one more thing the pain is just above the ankle (feel most of the pain only on that area but the whole arear is equally swollen) and not spreading to whole ankle or leg

There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle. The pain location suggests a sprain over fracture. Avoid excess weight on it. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

Several factors could cause this. Standing too long might swell feet. Consuming excessive salt might bloat you. Medical issues like high blood pressure might also contribute. Try elevating legs and decreasing salt intake. If swelling persists, consult an orthopedist.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Your scaphoid bone has a break. Two months went by, and your wrist moved stiffly. This stiffness happens sometimes after a fracture as it heals. To help, do gentle exercises a physiotherapist suggests. But if the pain stays or gets worse, see an orthopedist to check what's going on.

Can Medicine Relieve Tingling, Numbness, and Pain in Shoulder?

Answered on 23rd May '24
A pinched nerve might cause your shoulder pain. Nerves get squeezed by surrounding tissue. Tingling numbness feels common here. You can try ibuprofen, an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Ice packs reduce swelling too. Rest your shoulder. Avoid activities making pain worse. If pain persists, see an orthopedist.

Your knee might have gotten hurt when the bowl hit it. The bump and discomfort could mean your kneecap moved out of place. When that happens, it causes pain, swelling, and trouble moving. Good thing you iced it and used crutches. Don't put weight on your knee for now. Let it rest. But if the pain doesn't go away in a few days, see an orthopedist to make sure everything's alright.

Answered on 23rd May '24
If your belly feels upset after taking medicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tiredness can occur due to certain drugs. When you consume lunch and feel ill, your body reacts to the medication. Ensure hydrating well and eating smaller, lighter meals until you feel better.

It seems like you have felt a lot of pain in your leg, foot, and ankle. Your past typhoid sickness and low blood pressure could be why you still hurt. Sometimes, typhoid can make joints ache. It is very important to drink lots of water and rest. Using cold packs and keeping your leg up high can help the pain go away. If the pain does not stop, you should see an orthopedist to find out what is wrong.

Answered on 23rd May '24
Eating too many sweet things can make your back hurt. Sugar can make your body inflamed, and that leads to pain in your back. You should eat less sweet foods and drinks. Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead. Drink lots of water too. Light exercise might also help your back feel better. If you don't feel relieved, contact an orthopedist.

I am a 25 year old male who's had back surgery. I have numbness and burning pain in my legs and I'm not getting any relief.
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

Answered on 23rd May '24
It is not good to feel numbness and burning pain in the legs after back surgery. These feelings happen because the nerves get irritated. This could happen because of swelling or pressure on the nerves. It is important to tell your surgeon about these feelings. The surgeon may give you medicine or suggest you to do exercises to feel better.

Can Cream Relieve Stiff, Frozen Shoulder After 4 Months?
I am having frozen shoulder for last 4 months there is no pain but the shoulder is stiff cannot move up is there any creme for frozen shoulder relief
Dr. Deep Chakraborty
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 23rd May '24
This happens when tissues around the shoulder joint get tight. It can make arm movement hard. No pain is good, but the stiffness can bother you. There is no cream just for frozen shoulder relief. But easy stretches and physical therapy can loosen the shoulder over time. It is key to move the shoulder as much as you can without pushing too much. If stiffness remains, get advice from an orthoopedist.

This kind of pain may happen from sciatica. Sciatica is when a nerve in your back gets bothered. It is common for this pain to come after your period because of changes in your body. To help with this, try using a hot pad and doing easy stretches to feel better. If the pain keeps going or gets worse, it is good to talk with an orthopedist to find more ways to treat it.

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.

Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
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.

Stepped on nail causing leg injury, what to do?
Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
If you step on a nail, wash the spot with soap and water right away. This cleans the cut. Then put a new bandage on it. Check the cut every day. Look for signs of infection. That can mean redness, feeling hot, or pus coming out. If you see those things, go to the doctor fast. They can give you medicine to keep the infection from getting worse.
