Hi, I'm a 22 year old male with back pain, I've been to doctors loads of times for the past 7-8 months but all they been telling me is to take pain killers and exercise, ive had a MRI scan which showed L5-S1 left subarticular disc protrusion and L4-5 facet joint arthropathies is that right for them to keep telling me to exercise?
Answered on 18th May '24
The MRI scan reveals a disc disorder, along with an ache from the facet joint. Workouts can make your muscles healthier and render them more flexible, which is very helpful when managing the pain. You really must stick to the exercise plan of the physiotherapist without fail to reduce the damage caused. Painkillers are one way of pain relief, but the long-term solution comes from exercise, and maybe a few more such treatments like physical therapy depending on the severity of the problem.

I am a 50 year old diabetic with rheumatoid arthritis. I have had a numb feeling that also feels like a cramp causing severe pain down my right side, starting at the base of my spine, down the back of my right leg, all the way down to my foot. Help please.
Answered on 18th May '24
Your symptoms are quite similar to those of sciatica. Sciatica pains are a form of irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is often responsible for the feeling. Physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary. It's important to consult a specialist, like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance tailored to your condition.

i am 24 years and my bone mineral density score is -2 and vitamin d level is 14
Answered on 16th May '24
It appears you've been diagnosed with low bone density and vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to bone pain, weak muscles, and fractures. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, including dairy products, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure, is crucial for bone health. Your doctor may recommend vitamin D supplements to improve your calcium levels. Additionally, maintaining a nutritious diet and engaging in exercises like running and strength training prescribed by your orthopedic doctor can help maintain bone strength and overall health.

I am 21 years old and I've got severe neck from past a year when I move my neck side way's I feel cracking sound from it and pains now extended to back
Answered on 13th May '24
You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.

Answered on 14th May '24
This might be caused by a muscle knot or cyst developing whenever a muscle tightens or a sac fills with fluid. When you touch it, you may feel pain, tenderness, or no symptoms at all. It is important to use warm compresses, massage gently, and perform stretch exercises. If the situation doesn’t improve, seek medical advice for further assessment from an orthopedist

I feel like dizzy and stiff back in the early morning. Please suggest a solution for this??
Answered on 10th May '24
There are many reasons why you might wake up feeling dizzy and with a sore back. It might be that you did not drink enough water before going to bed, or that you slept in an awkward position which caused your back to become stiff. To combat this, try drinking some fluids before falling asleep and refrain from shifting your weight onto alternate sides during the night. Moreover stretching gently upon waking up can help loosen any tight muscles. If none of these solutions work then it would probably be wise to consult a orthopedist.

I'm 19 yrs old girl, I'm getting pain in my knee cap while going up the stairs,the pain gradually decreases when I stopped moving upstairs.I do feel the pain even more when I'm cycling on a steep or elevated.Normally I don't feel any pain while doing daily activities.I don't even know what causes me pain in my knees.I didn't fall down in the past,but I cycled too much during the covid time in between 2019-2021& may be that's when I started feeling pain for the 1st time. Can you tell me why this happens, can I know the name of this kind of pain so that I can take care of myself?
Answered on 7th May '24
According to what you said, it seems like you might have patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is a condition where the kneecap does not move smoothly over the thigh bone thus resulting in pain. Doing cycling excessively can also trigger it. Rest the knee, perform some light stretches, and do some strengthening workouts. See an orthopedist if the pain persists.

If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief.

I am 15 years old and have had a knee injury for 11 months . It started out as a meniscus injury and that has gotten better. According to my most recent MRI, I have edema , synovitis, and slight injuries to my ligaments. It doesn’t sound severe, but I have difficulty walking normally, and it often cracks, which makes it deteriorate. Also, because of the long duration,my muscles have muscle atrophy. My question is: What do the cracks mean(are they fine or not), and what should I do to recover? Thanks.
Answered on 6th May '24
Crackling from your knee is fostered by harsh surfaces or air bubbles. Although it’s perfectly normal at times, it could signify a problem if pain or swelling accompanies the snaps. For recovery, gentle exercises along with physical therapy will not only strengthen supporting muscles, leading to better knee stability. Be cautious while moving be sure to stay away from activities that may exacerbate this popping sound. You can also visit an orthopedist.

Yesterday I was playing football ⚽️ and while playing football on ground with my friends I fall while changing direction my ankle was not rolled but still it started paining and while playing I can't feel the pain more and played for some time but after coming the pain increases I saw that my ankle was swollen and it was paining just above the bone not directly on the bone but just above it I want to clarify that it is just a sprain or fracture one more thing the pain is just above the ankle (feel most of the pain only on that area but the whole arear is equally swollen) and not spreading to whole ankle or leg
Answered on 26th Apr '24
There's a chance your ankle sprain happened while playing football. Stretched or torn ligaments cause sprains. You likely have pain, swelling, and trouble moving that ankle. The pain location suggests a sprain over fracture. Avoid excess weight on it. If pain persists or worsens, see an orthopedist.

Why do I have such bad knee pain? Everytime I hit my knee or even just rest something on my knee I get a shoot of pain in my knee that won't go away for at least a minute
Answered on 16th May '24
The condition you describe might be patellar tendinitis. It happens when the tendon connecting your kneecap and shinbone gets inflamed. Overuse like repeatedly hitting your knee can cause this. Resting your knee, icing it, and doing gentle knee-strengthening exercises can help. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist for evaluation.
