I have been experiencing back pain for the past 5 days following a trauma. What treatment should I take?

Since your back pain started after trauma and has lasted 5 days, it could be due to a muscle strain, ligament injury, or, rarely, a fracture. Take adequate rest, avoid heavy lifting, and apply hot or cold compresses for relief. If the pain is severe or persistent, please consult a doctor for proper examination and possible imaging.

I have joint pain in all my leg and hand joints. What could be the cause?

Joint pain in the legs and hands may be caused by arthritis, inflammation, vitamin deficiency, or autoimmune conditions. It can also occur due to overuse, ageing, infection, or low bone and muscle strength. Persistent joint pain should not be ignored, as early diagnosis helps prevent worsening. Consult a doctor for proper evaluation, tests if needed, and suitable treatment.

I am experiencing acute pain in my left hand below the wrist. What could be the possible cause, and what treatment would you recommend?

Acute pain below the wrist can be due to strain, tendon inflammation, sprain, or nerve compression from overuse. Rest your hand, avoid heavy activity, apply ice packs, and consider a wrist support; mild pain relievers can help if needed. If there is swelling, numbness, or the pain persists, consult a doctor for proper evaluation.

I have been experiencing pain in my right shoulder joint for the past two days. Applying Fast Relief and Omnigel multiple times has not helped; what other effective medication or pain relief gel should I use?

Since topical gels haven't provided relief, you can try an oral pain reliever like paracetamol or ibuprofen, provided you have no health conditions preventing their use. Applying a cold compress wrapped in a towel for 15 minutes, three times a day, can also help reduce inflammation. Rest the joint and avoid heavy lifting. If the pain persists beyond a few days, worsens, or is accompanied by numbness, swelling, or chest discomfort, please consult a doctor immediately for a proper evaluation to rule out injuries like tendonitis or rotator cuff issues.

I fell on my left hand two days ago and now have severe pain and mild swelling just below my elbow. I tried Zerodol MR and Omni Gel with no relief, but Combiflam and cold packs have helped. What medicine should I take to manage this pain and swelling?
