I have severe knee pain when I stand up for too long and I have just noticed there is a large indentation in my knee

Male | 59

You have patellofemoral pain syndrome. This condition causes pain around or under the knee cap, which can spread to the side of the knee. It's often due to overuse, weak muscles, or improper knee-cap positioning. Exercises to strengthen leg muscles and supportive sports shoes can help. A key part of treatment is avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

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.

The pain might come from a varicoce­le, like a varicose ve­in in your testicle. It slows blood flow and causes aching. To he­lp, wear supportive underwe­ar and avoid standing too long. But if pain worsens or you notice swelling or change­s in your testis, see a doctor. This rule­s out serious problems.

I have back ake at my teenage 14

Female | 14

It’s common to experience back pain in your age group because of several factors. It may be due to rapid growth or carrying a heavy backpack. Some indications for this condition may include tenderness, rigidity, or uneasiness. To solve this problem, don’t carry heavy bags and do exercises that will tighten your muscles. Also, be mindful of how you sit or stand. If the discomfort persists then it would be wise to inform an adult about it.

wrist pain alternating between both wrists, lower back pain, knee pains resembling bruising above the knees and sometimes bruise like pain in the thighs and sharp hip pain all the way to the foot (like a pulled string feeling) - most are often after overuse (phone, walking, sleeping wrong). They don’t always happen at once but sometimes all together. Other discomforts involve stabbing pain inside the foot from under when walking for too long, finger joint pains usually worse the second day after overuse and shoulder and elbow pains after sleeping slightly wrong or overuse. Occasional Tingling/numbness in fingers (I can’t feel my fingers for a few seconds sometimes) and most often stiffness in finger joints occur in the mornings. Occasionally, affected areas exhibit slight redness and warmth. Recently I’ve found that stretching the pained areas helps a lot. General tiredness persists. These symptoms have persisted for nearly a year, fluctuating in severity. There haven't been any major accidents. Tests * anti ds dna is negative * HLA-B27 is negative * Ana is positive — * RF factor negative. * Knee X-Ray shows some cartilage thinning * MRI done: report says Signal loss due to degeneration was observed in the L4-5 disc * vitamin d3 at 28
