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.

Index finger ki upar pain ho raha hai

Suppose your index finger experienced pain at the top, several explanations are possible: excessive typing or from activities like tossing a frisbee. At times, such pain might be due to an infection or injury. Give your finger rest and steer clear of the activities causing the pain to worsen. The application of ice packs can significantly reduce swelling and aches as well. If the pain doesn't get better or even becomes sharper, consult with an orthopedist.

Male | 56

Maybe there is an infection in your foot. When your skin is pierced, bacteria may enter and cause swelling. The symptoms you are having such as feeling sick to your stomach (nausea), throwing up, being unable to have a bowel movement (constipation), headache, and having a high temperature could be due to the infection moving around. Quick treatment with antibiotics and other drugs from a doctor is needed so that you can get well soon.

Back pain can occur for several reasons like muscle strain from improper posture or lifting heavy things wrong. Other times it can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Try using hot or cold packs on the area, gentle stretching, and taking it easy for a bit first. If the pain persists or gets worse, it's wise to get it checked by an orthopedist to find out what's the matter.

I have broken a bone in my hand which was hit a month ago, but even after a month, the bone is not joint. There is also a plaster bandage on the hand.

Male | 27

It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

Sir Mera uric acid 7.16 hai our per ke rakhna me bahut dard rahta hai

Male | 51

When your body has high uric acid, it can form crystals in your joints, causing inflammation and pain, especially in the big toe. To help with the pain, try to avoid foods high in purines like red meat, alcohol, and certain seafood. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, which can help flush out the excess uric acid. I'd recommend consulting with a physician who may prescribe medication or suggest further tests to manage your uric acid levels.

Did you know that growth plates are areas at the ends of bones in children and teenagers where growth occurs? But when we stop growing, these growth plates fuse. In boys, this usually happens between the ages of 17 to 19. If you're 19 and not sure if yours have fused, you won't be able to tell without a medical exam. If you're worried, you should probably consider speaking to an orthopedist.

Male | 25

Usually, a physician will watch and wait before deciding whether or not to operate on you. A depressed frontal bone fracture can heal itself if no problems are being caused by it. It is good that you have no side effects. Just do as the doctor says, keep on taking your medicines and don't miss any appointment for check up. In case there is any change let me know or if things get worse consult with an orthopedist as soon as possible.
