I have on going dull knee pains for over two years, recently I had also had elbow, ankle and wrist pains also. Four days ago my knee (completely out of the blue no injury) began to feel extremely sore. I haven’t been able to straighten or fully bend it since Saturday. It feels like there is a balloon in my kneecap that I can burst.
Background: I am an extremely active dance teacher and studio owner. I have been diagnosed with hemochromatosis three years ago.
(My name is … female) 25, No special medical conditions. Ballet Dancer, previous sprained ankles.
I went to a theme park and did an activity where I took a 10 meter jump onto a soft landing pad (ones where they put below lumpers off a building in movies) and my ankle felt a sharp pain. I found out that it was slightly fractured, but I am not sure whether to go for surgery or not as I have both options. I have attached a detailed scan summary and 2 x rays. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
Hello, I have been having pain behind and above my right eye for 3 to 4 days now it is quite dull.and constant and sometime becomes a little sharper. It has woken me up in the morning and I am unable to go back to sleep. Cocodamol relieves it but when that wears off it comes back. I am 25 years old, male, smoker, currently travelling Asia, drinking a few times per week, no drugs and no other medication. I believe I need glasses as recently I have noticed I am unable to read things clearly that are more than 10 feet away. I am just worried it is something serious. Can you please advice of any possible causes and what action I should take. Thank you
I am a 34 yr old female with chronic back pain. I injured my back while lifting a patient in 2011. Herniated some disks. I have spinal stenosis and severe degenerative disk disease. I have had a decompression surgery done at the L5,S1 level, I think. I’ve also had a second surgery to insert a steel cage, rods and screws into my back. The decompression surgery gave me no relief and the cage helped for about 2-3 months. Following my last MRI, my neurosurgeon says that I have an overgrowth of bone ony left side and a lot of narrowing on my right side. I am in pain…severe pain.currently taking narco 10 three times a day and xanflex twice a day. Neuro wants to do another decompression surgery, but it didn’t help in the first place. I can’t sit, stand or walk for an extended amount of time. The sides of my thighs are throbbing. What do you suggest?
I am a 18 year old girl who has been suffering for pressure and pain behind eyes for almost three years. At first it came in periods during the day, but for five months now it has been a constant paind varying between weak and moderate. It is at its worst when I wake up (which makes my mood negatively effected by this) and when I lay flat down. It also hurts severely when concentraiting, and especially when looking up.
I have had no surgeries or been diagnosed for any sicknesses before. I do not have any other symptoms except from getting tired of the pressure, making me having to sleep on daytime.
Do you know what this could be?

I am a french student of 22, studying in the uni of Hertfordshire, and I don’t know exactly where to go to see a doctor, can you help me please?
Hi doctor.
Would like to first thank you for your time in reading my situation, i really do appreciate it.
I’ve been playing basketball for quite a long time, and my weight was considered average. But there’s been a time where I’ve been struck by depression , which developed into binge eating. I’ve then gotten overweight and had a hard time losing weight.
I still play basketball, but not only my weight has not gone down, my knees do hurt after exercising especially when going up the stairs. When I do squats , I can hear there are small sounds coming from my knee, and they feel wobbly as well. This has then hindered me from trying to run or play basketball.
Doctor I’d like to ask if there’s any way to improve my condition to the point that I can get back into playing basketball? If yes, may I ask how ?
Would be glad to hear from you soon.
Deepest gratitude.
I’m 24 yo. I have lower back dull pain on right side of spine close to L4-L5. It gets worst when i bend back words or twist when standing straight. I can bend forward little pain when going deep. I have this pain for two and half month. On the beginning it was just a minor pain and I didn’t paid much attention to it. I kept training in gym and did all heavy exercises, like dead lift and squats. That’s when it got worst. I tried to swim, bot it caused pain, so i don’t do it any more. I still do body weight exercise home and try to avoid movements causing pain.
I went to a doctor and he said I have “Conflict of spinous processes” and he used X RAY to conclude that. I’m not sure if his diagnose is right. My physiotherapist said I have a good posture and strong core. I don’t know how to procedure further.
I live in Japan and dislocated my toe. The toe next to my big toe. The japanese doctor pulled on it to put it back in place but the xray showed it was still dislocated. He told me I can just let it heal as it is or I he can put a pin in it. He said the ligaments were probably all screwed up and thats why it won’t go back in place by manual adjustment. It seems a little much to have pin surgery for just a dislocation.

My mom is female (obviously). She’ll be 66 next week. She has had both hips replaced. One hip is a little higher up than the other and always has been. She has known rhis for 40 years never had any problems. More recently tho it has been hurting like hell. Is there anything a dr or maybe chiropractor or anyone that can do anything for her?
Hi!
for little less than two month ago, we got a wonderful girl! But she was born with deformed toes in one foot.
her both foots are healthy, except for the toes which looks clearly deformed, and as parents we are worried about her future, and don’t know what steps to take!
we want to ask as a specialist, what should we do? appoint her to operation, or wait until she became older??
with regards (…)
