My mother is 48 years old shes suffering from arthritis from 12 years please help me She sometimes complain that her arm and nerves inside her stomach paining and she also complain that nerves inside her stomach getting to blossom

Female | 48

Your mother appears to be suffering from arthritis for a long time. The pain in her arm may be caused by joint inflammation which indicates that it’s a nerve problem if she experiences discomfort in the stomach too. When people have arthritis, sometimes they undergo a situation where nerves get affected hence feeling pain in different body parts apart from those with affected joints. To minimize the pain she is going through she should do gentle exercises, use warm towels if possible, and get drugs prescribed by a physician.

Female | 18

 The symptoms you are experiencing could be a sign of a Frozen Shoulder which is when the tissue in your shoulder becomes thicker and tighter than normal. A physical therapist can suggest some exercises that will help improve your range of motion while reducing discomfort.

Im a 17 yo im male my hand hurts so much when i touch a precised place in it i can actually see the bone our comparing to the other hand. Thanks

Male | 17

It looks like you may have broken your hand. A specific point may be very tender and the area can appear different from the other side. It is crucial to have an orthopedist look at this. They will confirm the diagnosis and give you the right treatment which may involve putting on a cast or splint so that the bone can heal properly. Make sure that it is checked as soon as possible so you can begin the recovery process.
