A torn ACL makes walking feel uneven and unstable, often causing changes in leg movement such as shortened strides or limping.

Knee pain can get better in a few weeks for some people, but for others it might last much longer. The time needed to feel better depends on the cause of the pain and the treatments used.

Yes, you can sprain your elbow from a fall. While falls can cause various types of injuries, an elbow sprain specifically occurs when the ligaments around your elbow get stretched or torn.

Physiotherapy techniques—including stretching, strengthening, and massage—can help relieve elbow joint pain. Additional treatments may be needed depending on the underlying cause.

Elbow pain occurs for several reasons—including tendon problems (like tennis elbow), injuries, and joint wear and tear. Understanding the cause of your elbow pain helps determine the best treatment approach.

Rest, gentle exercises, and medication can help relieve inner elbow pain by allowing your body to heal and strengthening the surrounding muscles.

Using supportive pillows and adjusting your sleeping position can help relieve elbow pain at night. A few simple changes to how you sleep can reduce stress on your elbow, helping you rest more comfortably.

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.
