I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

The pain in your right hip, radiating down to the leg and pelvic area, especially when sitting, could be indicative of sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or a herniated disc; consult an orthopedic specialist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and consider applying ice, stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate symptoms in the meantime.

View allI'm a 25-year-old woman, 54 inches tall and weigh 50 kg. My wrists are very thin with visible nerves, and my hands are overall slender. The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?

My mom has had osteoporosis and arthritis for about ten years and now her doctor is recommending knee replacement because her knee joints are rubbing together. Given her osteoporosis, is knee replacement still a safe option? Also, how would the implant stay in place if her bones are weak from the porosis? She's otherwise healthy with no diabetes or other issues.
I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

I've been dealing with neck pain for a couple of months now. Sometimes it eases up, but then it just comes back after a few days. At first, I thought maybe it was from sleeping in a bad position. I'm really starting to get concerned. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?
For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Make sure to improve your sleeping habits and maintain good posture during the day. If the pain persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
