I've had pain in the sternum, top of left arm, left shoulder blade and ribs for months now. I'm 36. I'm seeing physio and noone really knows what it is! I had an ECG, fine. Bloods, pretty much ok. The back shoulder blade is now awful and constant!

Female | 36

You've been experiencing pain in the sternum, left arm, shoulder blade, and ribs. Such discomfort can have many sources, for instance, a muscle strain or inflammation. It is a happy occasion when the results, such as ECG and blood work, are in the normal range. Physiotherapy can be a solution for the everlasting pain in the shoulder blade. Visit an orthopedist suitable for treatment.

Also lifting heavy object while walking for a distance makes my lower left abdomen hurts. I can describe the feeling as something like an organs of my mine is tearing or pulling.

Female | 22

The popping sound and pain in both your upper and lower left abdomen might indicate harm done to organs or tissues in that area. Trouble with breathing could also be linked with this; so could the feeling of heaviness in one or both legs. You must visit an orthopedist who will carry out a thorough examination before prescribing treatment methods aimed at arresting these developments.

I think i have pectus excavatum i have a 2.6-2.7 cm concave chest i do not have problem in breathing but i think it might cause problem in future

Male | 17

Pectus excavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens because of how your ribs and breastbone develop. Although breathing troubles can happen, you said you're okay there, which is good. To keep an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. They can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.

I’m 61 knee pain foot pain being of 42 osteoarthritis and need to loose weight quickly finding mobility getting worse

Female | 61

Given your age and history of osteoarthritis, it is most likely caused by the wear and tear on your joints. Losing some weight gradually with a healthy diet could relieve the pressure on the knees. Additionally, physical therapy may enhance flexibility while building up muscles around these areas.

Hi, I got injured while playing football above the ankle but the damage interfered with the ankle thus resulting to severe pains how can I control it

Male | 20

I suggest you consult with an orthopedic specialist right away. This injured ankle may have damaged the joint, which led to a throbbing pain. During this time, you may relieve the pain by applying ice to the affected area; taking antinflammatory medicine and keeping your leg elevated. But these are only short-term fixes, which would require an official diagnosis and treatment from a specialist.

Feeling cramps on both legs as well as cervical issues may be because of nerve compression in the spine. The patients should see a neurologist or an orthopedic specialist for an adequate diagnosis and treatment. If these signs are ignored, they can trigger more serious problems.

I know it gonna take time but everytime i or my nurse change the dressing it got bleed bec when i have to walk all wounds of my leg start bleeding maybe stretch of tissues i don't use that leg to walk. But even it bleed. I don't know what's to do. It's like whenever i do dressing the wound get damaged and bleed because the bandage gets to stick to it because of blood.

And lil bit sorry for the bad explanation. And thanks

Male | 17

The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.
