Could lumps on my leg be related to Sickle Cell Disease?

I noticed a kind of lump on my left leg last year. It started out small in like July but eventually got a big bigger (noticed the growth in November) and the area turned black. I took Clindamycin for a while and the lump reduced, it's no longer there. This year, a few weeks ago, I noticed a small lump on the same leg above the former place (like the middle of my leg). There's also a kind of bump on my tibi (I can feel it) and there's a spot above my knee, at the side, that's painful to the touch. I have Sickle Cell Disease and in 2016, I had a surgery to remove my left fibula. I had Chronic Osteomyelitis.

It’s good to hear that the previous lump improved with treatment. Your current symptoms, including the new lump and pain, may be related to previous conditions or other factors. Sickle Cell Disease can sometimes lead to issues like infections or bone problems. Monitoring changes in your body is important, and since you've had previous complications, I recommend consulting your gastroenterologist to evaluate these new changes. They can offer tailored advice and determine whether further investigation or treatment is needed.

Male | 65

If your belly feels upset after taking medicine for leg pain, that's normal. Nausea and tiredness can occur due to certain drugs. When you consume lunch and feel ill, your body reacts to the medication. Ensure hydrating well and eating smaller, lighter meals until you feel better.

I got my knee patella dislocated for first time 2 weeks ago and today my plaster got dispatched. My knee has swelling is it due to plaster? And I am not able to bend it I am able to stand properly on both legs but while walking my knee can’t hold my weight properly. Will this automatically take time to be normal or should I do some exercises? And what to do to reduce swelling?

Male | 19

Swelling after causing a dislocated patella is usual. The plaster may play a part in the swelling, however, the major reason behind the injury is. Difficulty bending and walking are expected early on. As the knee mends, this will improve slowly over time. Light exercises your orthopedist suggests can stretch and strengthen your knee. Resting, elevating your leg, applying ice packs, and taking prescribed medications if necessary to reduce swelling will be helpful.

Hello. Please I had a mid shaft humerus fracture in my left arm about two weeks ago. A cast was made on it, but I have been having shake feeling/ swing feeling in the fracture spot lately. I want to know if that feeling is normal and when the feeling stop. Thank you

Male | 20

If your arm is broken, it may feel wobbly or loose at the site of the fracture. This sensation occurs because the bones are mending themselves and trying to realign. Such feelings can last for several weeks. Ensure that you raise your arm above the level of your heart and refrain from putting any weight on it. In case this feeling doesn’t improve or becomes worse, let your orthopedist know.

Sound from joints specially from leg joint Black line on the nails now spreading on other nails also Dark eye circles

Male | 20

Two things seem to trouble you. Let's address them one by one. Your leg joints are making sounds, which is normal. It happens when air bubbles pop or tendons slide over bones. The black lines spreading on your nails could indicate a skin condition or lack of nutrients. Lack of sleep, stress, or allergies may cause dark circles under eyes. To improve these, eat a nutrient-rich diet. Manage stress well. Get adequate sleep. Moisturize nails. If issues persist, consult an orthopedist.

I have turf toe in 1year ago I eat medicine buy in medical store and iceing But did not get relief, today I am having pain again and all this happened while playing football.

Male | 14

You could be having turf toe, which is typical when doing sports such as football. Turf toe occurs when the big toe joint is injured, and can cause pain. Symptoms are swelling, pain, and limited movement of the toe. To assist in the healing process, try to rest your foot, use ice packs, and wear supportive shoes. Ignoring the pain, and consulting with the family doctor is a better option.

If my toe is purple does that mean it's broke

Female | 29

Sometimes a purple toe might indicate that it's broken. Other symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, and failure of the toe to move. A few of the reasons your toe may be hurting is you dropped something heavy on it or hit it hard. To make it easier, rest your toe, apply ice, elevate it, and take pain medicine. If the pain is strong, you should contact an orthopedist.

I fell down a flight of stairs and my ankle is swollen and sore. Can you help me figure out what's wrong and what I can do to fix it?

Female | 14

One should refrain from walking on the injured leg and should elevate the leg to prevent swelling, as well as use ice packs for at least 15-20 minutes every couple of hours. Pain relievers that you can buy without a doctor's prescription can be used to stop the pain by the way they work. However, if the area gets worse or you can't walk properly, it is important to see an orthopedist.

Female | 24

Some of these signs can sometimes be connected. Neck pain may lead to tension headaches which in turn might affect one’s vision. Maintaining a good posture, taking regular screen breaks, and performing exercises that strengthen the muscles of the neck and back can be beneficial. However, it is important to speak to an orthopedist should these symptoms persist.

Male | 53

If you have suffered from a broken leg and have undergone surgery to mend it, the improvement progress can be quite slow. Post-surgery, pain, swelling, and limited mobility are common symptoms that can be expected. Follow your doctor's instructions to the letter to get better - that is, do physical therapy exercises, rest your leg if needed, and take any drugs that are prescribed. You will soon start feeling better and can move easily, but you should be patient and give it time.
