Orthopedics

An injury to your elbow, like a fracture or dislocation, can cause scar tissue or extra bone growth that makes bending or straightening your elbow hard.

Most people with ongoing elbow pain can improve with rest, proper exercises, and sometimes medications like NSAIDs. It’s important to see a doctor to create a plan that fits your needs.

Posterior tibial tendonitis can be treated with rest, physical therapy, orthotics, and sometimes surgery, depending on the severity.

You may want to see either a sports medicine doctor or an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in elbow injuries. They can help examine your elbow, diagnose the cause of the pain, and suggest the best treatment options.

Seek medical attention for a sprained ankle if you experience severe pain, cannot bear weight, notice significant swelling or bruising, or if the ankle looks deformed.

Exercises like eccentric strengthening and specific foot movements can help improve posterior tibial tendonitis by making the tendon stronger and reducing pain.

Nighttime elbow pain may be due to lateral epicondylitis, sometimes called tennis elbow, which can worsen during sleep because of certain positions that put extra pressure on the elbow.

Elbow pain when you straighten your arm can be due to tendon problems from overuse (like tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow) or nerve issues such as cubital tunnel syndrome. These conditions hurt the joints and muscles around the elbow, making movements painful.

The pain in your elbow when twisting your wrist might be from tendon overuse or slight injury to the muscles and tendons that support the elbow joint.

Your elbow pain may come from overusing the muscles and tendons around your elbow during weightlifting. Using good technique, proper stretching, and strengthening exercises can help prevent the pain.

When you sleep with your elbows bent, it may put pressure on nerves like the ulnar nerve in your cubital tunnel, causing pain or numbness.

Your elbow may hurt when it is bent because something in the joint—like tendons, nerves or ligaments—could be strained or injured. This pain may come from overuse, a minor injury, or instability in the elbow joint.

Your elbow may hurt when you bend it because the tissues that support the joint (like tendons and ligaments) might be inflamed, strained, or injured.

Elbow pain during weightlifting might happen because your elbow is working very hard or might be stressed by improper movements. This stress can lead to inflammation or small injuries in the tendons and ligaments around the joint.

Ankle pain when walking can be caused by ankle sprains or defects in the ankle bones and cartilage.

Knee issues can make it hard to walk down stairs because pain and joint problems make it challenging to control your leg movements safely. Weak muscles and instability in the knee add to the difficulty.

Immediate relief from sciatica pain can be achieved through injections, such as lumbar facet joint injections or epidural corticosteroid injections, which help reduce inflammation and pain. However, these are not the first line of treatment for sciatica.

Sciatica feels like a sharp or burning pain that travels from your lower back down to your leg. It can also feel like tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg.

After knee replacement surgery, most patients notice a significant decrease in pain within 3 to 6 months, though some may experience lingering discomfort beyond that period. Pain duration can vary based on individual healing, nerve sensitivity, and other factors.

Calf pain is not directly mentioned as a common symptom of sciatica in the provided references.
