Could my hip be causing my limping leg pain?
For a couple of months I've had a sore right leg. Now the pain had progressed and it's making me limp. It's painful at the end of my working day when I walk home. I'm a teacher and I stand and walk a lot.. I think it's my hip. I don't have pain when I'm sitting or lying down.

This is a typical symptom of problems with the hip. Standing or walking for long periods can strain the joint of the hip. You should take short breaks to rest the leg during your workday. Be certain to make an appointment with an orthopedistl who can provide an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan for you.

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.

Why Am I Dizzy and Stiff in the Morning?
I am not feeling well and felt like dizziness in the early morning and also my back gets stiffed in the morning. Please suggest me a solution over my problem??

Seems to be like you may have vertigo and a little bit of tightness in your back. Vertigo can make you feel like you’re off balance or that things around you are moving. As for the back, it could be from how you’re sleeping or sitting. Try to drink more water and stretch gently right after waking up. If this continues to happen, assess your sleeping position among other factors that may affect your general well-being.

Why Am I Dizzy and Stiff in Mornings?
I feel like dizzy and stiff back in the early morning. Please suggest a solution for this??
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

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.

Could a Glass Bowl Fall Cause a Dislocated Knee?
A glass bowl fell on my knee and broke. the glass didnt cut me but it hit the left side of my left knee and now theres a small bump on the right side of my left knee. i feel like i might have dislocated the knee cap but its only a small bump. its really uncomfterble when i move it and it feels hyper extended when i try to straighted my leg. Pressing lightly under the bump hurts when i have my knee relaxed. im able to straighted it with almost no pain but it feels off anytime i move my knee. its been around 2 days now and ive been putting ice on it and using crutches. when the bowl hit my knee i was sitting in a chair and two other bowls fell (a plastic bowl that didnt hit me and another glass bowl that hit my ankle, my ankle is fine) imeditly after the bowl hit my knee it hurt and when i got up i could feel the pain shooting up and down my leg.

Your knee might have gotten hurt when the bowl hit it. The bump and discomfort could mean your kneecap moved out of place. When that happens, it causes pain, swelling, and trouble moving. Good thing you iced it and used crutches. Don't put weight on your knee for now. Let it rest. But if the pain doesn't go away in a few days, see an orthopedist to make sure everything's alright.

Stepped on nail causing leg injury, what to do?
Injury on the leg caused by stepping on a nail
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
If you step on a nail, wash the spot with soap and water right away. This cleans the cut. Then put a new bandage on it. Check the cut every day. Look for signs of infection. That can mean redness, feeling hot, or pus coming out. If you see those things, go to the doctor fast. They can give you medicine to keep the infection from getting worse.

Why Is My Left Shoulder Blade Painful for Months?
I am 21 years old. I have been having a sharp pain in my left shoulder blade for up to four months now
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
You may have a muscle strain in your left shoulder blade. This happens when you use that muscle a lot or have poor posture. You may feel sharp pain, especially when moving your arm. Try gently stretching and putting ice on the area. Do not do things that make the pain worse. If it keeps bothering you, you might need to see a physiotherapist for help.

What could be causing burning sensations in my back and right leg for two weeks?
I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.

Why do my knees hurt when going upstairs?
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?
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

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.

What could cause a fractured elbow and how is it treated?
Hand problem my elbow is gone to fracture
Dr. Pramod Bhor
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 7th May '24
Your elbow might be broken. When the elbow is broken, you can feel pain, see swelling, and can’t move your arm easily. Fractures may occur by falling or putting too much pressure on the joint while doing some activities. A cast or sling may be required for your elbow to heal, but sometimes an operation is necessary too. Don't forget to follow up with an orthopedist.

Is conservative treatment effective for painful swollen foot?
Painful swollen foot in 85 y old lady since 20 days after possible eversion injury Treated conservatively with walking air cast but little improvement Your kind opinion
Dr. Deep Chakraborty
Orthopaedic Surgery
Answered on 7th May '24
An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.

Dr. Deep Chakraborty

Answered on 6th May '24
You might have injured the wrists and arms. When your arms appear swollen, you could likely be suffering either from sprains or strains. You might end up experiencing symptoms such as pain, swellings, or the inability to move without extreme difficulties. To reduce these swellings therefore, it is advisable that you use ice bags while at the same time raising both of your arms. You should visit an orthopedist for further clarification.

Is knee swelling after fall normal?
Last week I fell and hit my knee. It is bruised and swollen. There are no breaks or cracks in the area. Today the bruise on my knee is starting to fade but the swelling is hard. Her legs can walk as usual, but sometimes it hurts, she can't straighten and feel pressured in the swollen part. Because the swelling is hot and hard. Kdng2 is tired and throbbing. When she wants to straighten her legs, she will crack her knees and feel heavy. When I sit down he is depressed in his knees. Is it dangerous or is it normal to get hit?

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. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Do cracks in knee indicate severity of injury?
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.
Dr. Deep Chakraborty

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.
