Pain Location Guide

Where Do You Feel Pain?

Orthopaedic problems can affect walking, work, exercise and sleep. Choose the area that concerns you most to learn about common causes, treatment directions and when to see an orthopaedic specialist.

Neck Pain / Hand Numbness

Neck pain may be due to muscle tightness, but it can also be related to cervical nerve compression. If pain travels down the arm or fingers become numb, early assessment can help identify the cause.

Common conditions:
  • Neck and Shoulder Pain
  • Cervical Nerve Compression
  • Cervical Spinal Stenosis
  • Whiplash Injury
  • Arm or Finger Numbness
You may feel: Neck and shoulder tightness, night hand numbness, finger tingling, limited neck movement or arm weakness.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain often worsens when lifting the arm, dressing or sleeping. Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff problems and shoulder instability can feel similar, so assessment is important.

Common conditions:
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Rotator Cuff Tear
  • Shoulder Impingement
  • Shoulder Dislocation
  • Acromioclavicular Joint Injury
  • Collarbone Fracture
You may feel: Pain when lifting the arm, night shoulder pain, arm weakness, reduced range of movement or previous dislocation.

Low Back Pain / Leg Numbness

Back pain, buttock pain or leg numbness may come from muscle strain, disc problems or nerve compression. If walking distance shortens or the leg feels weak, assessment is recommended.

Common conditions:
  • Low Back Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Disc Prolapse
  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
  • Piriformis Syndrome
  • Spinal Injury
You may feel: Back pain with leg numbness, worse after sitting, leg pain when walking, leg weakness, or pain aggravated by coughing or bending.

Hip / Buttock Pain

Hip or buttock pain can affect walking, sitting down, standing up and stairs. Hip pain after a fall in older adults should not be ignored, even if walking is still possible.

Common conditions:
  • Hip Arthritis
  • Hip Fracture in Older Adults
  • Pelvic Fracture
  • Restricted Hip Movement
  • Rehabilitation After Total Hip Replacement
You may feel: Groin pain, buttock pain, limping, hip stiffness or persistent pain after a fall.

Knee Pain

Knee pain may come from arthritis, meniscus, ligament or cartilage problems. Stair pain, locking or instability require diagnosis before deciding treatment.

Common conditions:
  • Knee Arthritis
  • Meniscus Tear
  • ACL Injury
  • Knee Cartilage Injury
  • Collateral Ligament Injury
  • Anterior Knee Pain in Young People
You may feel: Stair pain, knee swelling, locking, giving way, instability after twisting injury or pain when walking.

Foot, Ankle / Heel Pain

Foot and ankle pain can affect walking and sports. Repeated sprains, first-step heel pain in the morning or unusual shoe wear may suggest structural or ligament problems.

Common conditions:
  • Ankle Sprain
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Achilles Tendon Rupture
  • Flat Feet
  • Bunion
You may feel: First-step heel pain in the morning, ankle swelling, repeated sprains, inability to bear weight or Achilles tendon pain.

Wrist / Finger / Elbow Pain

Hand and elbow problems can affect work, housework and sleep. Numbness, finger locking or reduced grip may involve nerves, tendons or joints.

Common conditions:
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Trigger Finger
  • De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Golfer’s Elbow
  • Wrist Fracture
You may feel: Night hand numbness, finger locking, wrist pain, elbow pain, reduced grip or a lump on the back of the hand.

Pain After Fall / Injury

After a fall, impact or sports injury, the priority is to rule out fracture, dislocation and significant soft tissue injury. Pain, swelling or inability to bear weight should not be delayed.

Common conditions:
  • Fracture
  • Joint Dislocation
  • Open Wound
  • Wrist Fracture
  • Hip Fracture
  • Collarbone Fracture
You may feel: Severe pain after injury, obvious swelling, deformity, inability to bear weight, bleeding wound or numbness.

Not sure which category fits your symptoms? You can book an orthopaedic assessment first. The doctor will review your symptoms, examine you and arrange suitable tests if needed.

Book Orthopaedic Assessment

Pain does not always need to be endured. Early assessment may help prevent worsening.

Many orthopaedic problems do not require immediate surgery. An orthopaedic specialist will first understand your symptoms, perform a clinical examination and arrange X-ray, MRI, ultrasound or other investigations if needed, before recommending suitable options such as medication, physiotherapy, injections, braces, rehabilitation training or surgery when appropriate.

When To Seek Help

When Should You See An Orthopaedic Specialist?

If pain persists, keeps recurring or already affects daily life, you should not simply endure it. Early diagnosis can help identify the source of the problem, guide suitable treatment and reduce the chance of worsening or repeated injury.

Pain Does Not Settle

If pain persists without improvement, keeps recurring or gradually worsens, consider a professional assessment.

Affects Daily Life

If pain affects walking, stairs, work, exercise or sleep, it should not be delayed for too long.

Joint Swelling, Locking Or Instability

Swelling, locking, weakness or repeated sprains in joints such as the knee, shoulder or ankle may involve ligaments, meniscus, tendons or cartilage.

Numbness Or Weakness

Numbness, tingling or weakness in the limbs may be related to nerve compression or spinal problems and should be assessed early.

Pain After Fall Or Sports Injury

Obvious pain, swelling, difficulty moving or inability to bear weight after injury should be assessed to exclude fracture or significant soft tissue injury.

Pain After A Fall In Older Adults

In older adults, even mild pain after a fall may still indicate an occult fracture, especially in the hip, wrist or spine.

Seek urgent care: If you have bowel or bladder control problems, obvious limb weakness, inability to stand after major trauma, deformity or suspected fracture, seek medical care or attend an emergency department promptly.
