Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

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.

I have been having this problem for a while, its pain in my index finger when I make high pressure against something like when I punch a pad for my boxing like all the time when I make a fist or punch my index finger hurts and clicks/pops and it hurts and when I make a tight fist it hurts for both index fingers on each hand any advice or help thanks

Male | 16

These symptoms could potentially be related to a condition called trigger finger. It occurs when the tendons in the finger become inflamed or irritated and it leads to difficulty in finger movement and causes the clicking or popping sensation. Consult with a hand specialist or orthopedic doctor. You can try some self-care measures to alleviate symptoms. Apply ice packs or do gentle finger exercises.

I have a sudden and severe continuous back pain that goes to the stomach, it started 3 days ago and painkillers don't work

Female | 36

Back pain radiating to your stomach could indicate a kidney infection or stone. Fever, sickness, and persistent discomfort unrelieved by medication often accompany these conditions. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or procedures to remove kidney stones, if present. Seeking timely care from an orthopedist is essential.

Pain left thigh since Oct 2022. I fell down from an e-rickshaw while boarding on it. One leg on the rickshaw and another on the ground and I was dragged for about two meters until I fell on the ground. Since then got this pain.

Female | 55

Your left thigh pain since last October might be from that fall. Typical signs are aches, swelling, and leg troubles. You likely strained or bruised thigh muscles during impact. Try resting, icing the spot, and gentle stretches. But if there is no improvement or worse pain, it's wise to visit an orthopedist. They'll check and properly treat the injury.

I m getting sharp shooting pain in right side..

Female | 29

It sounds as if you have sciatica. Sciatica causes sharp shooting pains to run down one of your legs. It is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This may be from a slipped disk or tight muscles. To help relieve the pain, gently stretch the area, apply ice packs, and avoid sitting too long without changing positions. If these suggestions do not work, consult with an orthopedist who can provide further treatment options for you.

I am 24 years old and male. I hurt my knee in football and now I feel pain on one side.

Male | 24

You may have injured your knee during a football match. Achilles tendinitis or patellar tendinitis are the two most frequent causes of pain in the knee after an injury. Further, you may also have swelling or a problem moving the knee. To alleviate your knee problem, rest your knee, then put some ice on it to let it heal and elevate your leg. If you are still experiencing pain, it is relevant to take a rest from your daily activities and consult an orthopedist or therapist.

Hi my knees keep cracking all the time when I move them

Male | 42

Knees cracking when you move them is usually due to the movement of gas bubbles in the joint fluid or the rubbing of soft tissues over bones. If there's no pain or swelling, it's generally harmless. However, if you're experiencing discomfort, it's best to consult an orthopedic doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

Female | 43

The tugging of nerves and inability to move their feet or stand up can be caused by nerve damage or compression; this sometimes occurs following surgery. It is important to get in touch with the surgeon who carried out the procedure so that they may assess what is happening. Additionally, physical therapy could help with regaining strength and movement.

Sir / madam my left shoulder is too much paining from back to shoulder till finger it's like tingling,numbness and so much pain and in night this pain increased alot please let me some medicine to relief it fast

Female | 41

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.
