Orthopedics

Left shoulder pain is often caused by problems like rotator cuff tendonitis, shoulder impingement syndrome, or other issues with the muscles and joints in your shoulder.

A broken elbow occurs when one of the elbow bones has a fracture or crack, while a sprain happens when the ligaments supporting the joint are stretched or torn.

Doctors typically begin with conservative treatments—including rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications—to manage chronic elbow pain. If these initial approaches prove inadequate, more advanced interventions like injections or surgery may be considered.

Elbow pain occurs for various reasons, including problems with the tendons, muscles, and nerves surrounding the elbow.

Pain when pressing on the inside of the knee can be caused by inflammation or irritation of tissues like a bursa or nerve, such as in pes anserine bursitis or saphenous neuritis.

Several conditions can cause elbow pain, including tendon inflammation, joint inflammation, or bursitis.

Sharp pain in the left elbow can result from nerve compression (such as cubital tunnel syndrome), internal soft tissue injury, or trauma affecting the bones, tendons, or ligaments.

Right elbow pain is commonly related to overuse injuries and musculoskeletal problems. However, there are other causes to consider.

A stiff elbow—caused by injury or inflammation of the muscles, tendons, or the joint itself—may result in pain when bending your elbow.

A burning knee can sometimes be caused by tendinitis or arthritis flares or nerve-related conditions like erythromelalgia, which may be more noticeable at night.

A burning feeling inside the knee could come from nerve irritation or an inflamed fluid sac (bursitis), or tendinitis or arthritis. It may be linked to conditions that cause nerve changes or inflammation in the knee.

Many things like fluid build-up in the knee (knee effusion) and joint wear and tear (osteoarthritis) can make it hard to put pressure on the knee.

Difficulty putting pressure on the kneecap may occur when the kneecap isn’t moving correctly; this might be due to instability or damage to the cartilage behind the kneecap. Bursitis or tendinitis of the knee may also contribute to this problem.

Left elbow pain commonly occurs due to tendon overuse (tendinopathy) and arthritis, though there are many other possible causes.

Knee pain with a certain movement can happen because parts of the knee—like the cartilage, ligaments, or tendons—might be worn down, inflamed, or injured. This can occur with conditions such as tendinitis, osteoarthritis, patellofemoral pain syndrome, or injury-related issues.

Elbow pain after bending can be related to previous injury, arthritis, or other conditions causing inflammation.

Elbow pain when leaning can be caused by swelling in a small, fluid-filled cushion called the bursa or by irritation from other soft tissue injuries.

Numbness and tingling in the knee can be due to problems with the nerves, often related to conditions like osteoarthritis or issues with nerves such as the common peroneal nerve.

Numbness in one knee may occur when a nerve is injured or compressed. This can happen from trauma, surgery, or conditions that compress on nerves that surround the knee area.

Numbness on the side of the knee can happen when small skin nerves are hurt, especially during knee surgery like a knee replacement or high tibial osteotomy.
