Introduction

During limb lengthening surgery, the doctor cuts through the bone to be lengthened and inserts an external fixator to stabilize it. This procedure relies on the body's natural ability to grow new bones, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues. A titanium rod is inserted, gradually increasing and stretching as it is absorbed into the body, resulting in a few extra inches of height.

You could have what’s referred to as a bunion. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the base of the big toe. Tight shoes or heredity can be the cause of it. If it’s getting swollen and larger, it’s advisable to wear comfortable shoes and apply ice to reduce swelling. In some cases, surgery may be necessary if it’s very painful.

I am 24 years old and male. I hurt my knee in football and now I feel pain on one side.

Male | 24

You may have injured your knee during a football match. Achilles tendinitis or patellar tendinitis are the two most frequent causes of pain in the knee after an injury. Further, you may also have swelling or a problem moving the knee. To alleviate your knee problem, rest your knee, then put some ice on it to let it heal and elevate your leg. If you are still experiencing pain, it is relevant to take a rest from your daily activities and consult an orthopedist or therapist.

Sir mein jab 10 year ka tha tabhi mera hand ka elbow tut gaya tha abhi mein 18 saal ka hun mera elbow deformity problem hei kaise thik kare kabhi kabhi bahot dard hota hei kisiko dikhana mein bhi saram ata hei lekin mera hand bilkul sidha hei lekin elbow ke upar ke gebu ke type kuch hua hei kya kare

Male | 18

Most probably the problem you’re having is as a result of a broken elbow at the age of ten years old. This can cause the joint to be deformed hence uncomfortable. You should therefore see an orthopedic surgeon who will examine your situation and give a suitable prescription for treatment. Depending on how serious the deformity, they can propose some physiotherapy exercises or even surgery.

These symptoms could stem from various factors like muscle overexertion, improper posture maintained over time, or certain medical conditions.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/

Female | 21

You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

The foremost thing is to wash the wound with warm water and soap. Following this, put the dressing on the wound using a new bandage. Check the area around the bite for redness, swelling, warmth, and pus. Each of these might be infection symptoms. You need to visit your healthcare provider if you observe these signs. The main treatments for infections at home are wound cleaning and dressings.

Female | 28

You're possibly dealing with sciatica. That occurs when a nerve gets pinched in your lower back area. Neck and shoulder discomfort could stem from muscle tension or strain. Gentle stretches, warm baths, and OTC pain meds may provide relief. However, if the pain lingers, see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Female | 36

I understand your mother is experiencing significant discomfort in her leg, which may result from strain, injury, or even muscle or joint issues. She needs to rest and elevate her leg to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relief medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help, but it’s crucial to follow the dosage instructions on the label. However, given the severity of her symptoms, I encourage you to consult an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate treatment tailored to her needs.

We try to find the source when a person has a neck issue mainly by analyzing symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, or tingling in the arms. These problems may occur for numerous reasons, for example, bad posture, an injury, or the so-called natural degeneration with time.

When breathing out or moving your head down, you experience chest discomfort. This issue stems from muscle strain between ribs or in the chest wall area. Occasionally, rib joint inflammation can cause this sensation. To alleviate symptoms, rest is recommended, along with warm compresses on the affected area and over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if the condition persists, consulting an orthopedist may be advisable.
