Question 1

My collarbone was fractured three years ago, and I am now experiencing pain in my hand. Could this be related to the old injury?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Yes, it could be related, especially if the old collarbone fracture healed with some malalignment or if there is nerve irritation affecting the arm. However, hand pain can also be due to other causes like nerve compression, joint issues, or muscle strain. Since the injury occurred three years ago, it is important to get examined by a doctor, who may suggest an X-ray or nerve evaluation to find the exact cause and guide proper treatment.

Question 2

She had surgery on her right foot three years ago, during which a rod was inserted. She is now experiencing pain in that foot.

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Pain in a foot that had surgery with a rod inserted three years ago could be due to irritation from the implant, loosening, wear and tear, or surrounding tendon or joint strain. Weather changes and increased activity can also trigger discomfort. She should avoid excessive strain and can use mild pain relief temporarily, but it?s important to consult an orthopedic doctor. An X-ray may be needed to check the position of the rod and rule out any complications.

Question 3

I had a knee ligament injury due to an accident last March. After treatment, I was able to walk normally. However, recently I have been experiencing pain in my other knee, especially while climbing stairs. I also have a slight limp while walking and am unable to run or walk properly. The pain becomes severe during heavy work. What medicines would you recommend for relief?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Since your pain is now in the other knee and worsens with stairs and heavy work, it may be due to overuse, strain, or early cartilage wear from putting extra load on that side. Using a knee support, doing strengthening exercises for thigh muscles, avoiding heavy work, and starting physiotherapy can help significantly. Consult an orthopaedic doctor to properly examine the knee before relying on medicines alone.

Question 4

I accidentally hit my leg against a wall and now I am feeling pain and cramps in my toe. Could it be a fracture?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

If you hit your toe against a wall and now have pain and cramping, it could be a simple soft tissue injury or, in some cases, a small fracture. If there is swelling, severe pain while walking, bruising, or difficulty moving the toe, a fracture is possible, and an X-ray may be needed. For now, rest the foot, apply ice, keep it elevated, and take a painkiller as needed. If pain is severe or not improving in a few days, please see a doctor for proper evaluation.

Question 5

I am experiencing pain in my leg joints. What medicine should I take for relief?

Dr G Reddy · Accepted Answer

Leg joint pain can be due to strain, arthritis, vitamin deficiency, or inflammation. For mild pain, you may take paracetamol for temporary relief and apply a warm compress to the area. Avoid heavy activity and give proper rest to the joint. However, if the pain is persistent, please consult a doctor to find the exact cause and get appropriate treatment rather than relying only on painkillers.
