If you have any bruising and are worried about infection there are some things to look out for. An infected bruise may become more swollen, red, warm, or painful. If you notice these signs then it could be infected. Gently clean the bruise, apply a clean dressing, and keep an eye on it. If in doubt, get it looked at.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/

Female | 21

You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

Having leg pain from 30 days

Male | 42

If the pain has been bothering you for a whole month, it is better to get treatment. Besides, leg pain that lasts can be caused by items like strained muscle, abuse, or poor blood circulation. The best solution for leg pain is to rest, apply ice packs, and do light exercises. If the discomfort persists following this treatment, get an opinion from an orthopedist for additional evaluation and medical care.

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?

Female | 19

It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

my left leg middle finger is crack can i return my finger

Male | 21

Clefts might be the result of dehydration or trauma. It may cause a lot of pain, a scratchy feeling, or become reddish in color. If you don't have any moisturizer, you can use some mild one, and cover it with a bandage for a short-term remedy. Be diligent about hygiene and strive for a clean and protected environment. If it doesn't even progress, you could probably use an orthopedist who will help.

I had a question I was eating and accidentally put to much sugar and my back being hurting for the pass 4 days

Male | 17

Eating too many sweet things can make your back hurt. Sugar can make your body inflamed, and that leads to pain in your back. You should eat less sweet foods and drinks. Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead. Drink lots of water too. Light exercise might also help your back feel better. If you don't feel relieved, contact an orthopedist.

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.

Female | 50

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.

Why do I have a bony lump on top of my left shoulder?

Female | 30

That bony lump is likely an "acromial spur." It happens from wear and tear on your shoulder joint. You might feel pain when moving your arm or raising it up high. To help with discomfort, try gentle shoulder exercises. Also, apply ice to reduce swelling. If the pain continues, see a physiotherapist for guidance. They can advise on ways to manage the condition.

I am a 20 year old young man for about three years when I walk too much my ankle gets watery and even it swells up so much that I have trouble walking what can I do?

Male | 20

It’s a medical problem called ankle edema that you seem to be suffering from. If your ankle begins to swell and becomes watery after walking for too long, it is likely to be a symptom of poor blood circulation or damage to the tissues around your ankle. This phenomenon can be the result of various factors like trauma, overweight, or even particular diseases. To minimize the swelling and pain, it is important to rest your ankle, lift it, put ice on it, and use suitable footwear. Swelling that persists should be checked by an orthopedist.

I have a ganglion cyst on my wrist I'm suppose to have surgery on in the morning, the cyst disappeared 3 days ago. Should I still have the surgery or will they do the surgery still

Male | 37

Your ganglion cysts aren't often painful, though sometimes annoying or movement-limiting. Since yours vanished naturally, surgery might not be required anymore. However, inform your doctor about this development so they can reassess if the operation is still necessary or not.
