Hi i have a spinal stenosis

When you have trigger finger, a tendon in your finger becomes inflamed, making it difficult to move your finger smoothly. Symptoms include finger stiffness, clicking, or locking in place. This condition can result from repetitive gripping motions or other medical conditions.

To help alleviate symptoms:

- Relax your finger.
- Perform gentle exercises.
- Apply warm compresses.

These techniques can help manage the condition, but if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment options.

I am a 17-year-old female who is recovering from a mild knee ligament stretch. I had a splint for 2 weeks and had been recovering for over a month. Yesterday, I played badminton because my knee felt good. However, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt at first, but I can walk and climb stairs relatively normally. It hurts when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it. There is no buckling of the knee. The pain is a little achey and a little dull. I don't know which one exactly. What should I do? Is it okay if I resume normal activities, but just be more careful and elevate my leg when I sit or lie down?

You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.

Hello, I am Leah i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having back problems since last october. it’s been affecting my whole life and i have no clue what i should do.

Female | 15

One big reason for this is bad posture. It’s also possible if you were carrying around something heavy like school books in a backpack or if pulled a muscle. Here are some tips that might help: try to sit up straight when you’re sitting down, don’t pick up anything too heavy, and make sure your desk is set up correctly for you. You could also try doing some easy exercises or gentle stretches – they sometimes provide relief from these sorts of aches and pains. But if nothing changes and the ache won’t go away, you must talk to an adult about seeing an orthopedist who knows more about health.

I have pain in my hip or buttack and calf are pain

Male | 27

It is clear that you are suffering from pain in your hip or buttock and the calf comes along with pain. This may be because of a situation called sciatica, where the sciatic nerve gets irritated. Symptoms include shooting or burning pain. It is important to rest and not put pressure on the injured area, and the gentle stretching of the muscles to the point of pain is among the most likely options. Preventing activities that cause pain is also a good idea and consulting an orthopedic specialist for more suggestions is obligatory.

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 28 years old. From last 2 weeks i am having pain in my left side chest and shoulder/ collar bone.

Male | 28

Your complaint involves the left side of the chest and shoulder/collar bone which has been present for the past two weeks. It may be caused by many things like a muscle strain, an injury, or even heartburn. Besides that, other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, sweating, or nausea may also be present in more severe cases. It's of the utmost importance to rest, apply ice, and stay away from vigorous exercises. Should the pain be persistent or get worse, you are advised to see an orthopedist.

Sir/madam I am a student,my problem is my little finger joint dislocated it's nearly 20 days ago surgery was done successfully,but my finger is not folding

Male | 19

Your finger is likely struggling to bend properly after the surgery to fix its dislocated state. This issue arises due to swelling or stiffness, which can occur sometimes. To enhance its bending ability, gently move it and follow the exercises suggested by your physical therapist diligently. These exercises aim to strengthen your finger and boost its flexibility gradually.

I am 30 year old man having pain in left leg near calf for 2 months I think I test for colour Doppler

Male | 30

One of the reasons for this might be the improper flow of blood through your leg, but there are a lot of different causes for this at the same time. A color Doppler is a test that can be done, in general, to detect any abnormalities. The most important thing is to visit an orthopedist who will diagnose and treat you properly, so don't take this lightly.
