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.

I fell while riding a bike on my elbow and ever since i have been facing pain while pronation and supranation of my wrists also when i apply preasure to the inner part of the bone in the elbow i feel immense pain

Male | 19

Pain when you twist your wrist or press the inside of your elbow may be a sign of medial epicondylitis, also known as golfer's elbow. This condition occurs when the tendon becomes swollen and irritated. To heal, you can rest your arm, apply an ice pack, and take over-the-counter medications. It's important to avoid actions that cause the pain, and if there is no improvement, it's better to visit an orthopedist for additional assessment and treatment.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.

Male | Neo

It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

I have an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my left and right leg, and two on the small toes of the left leg. Four in total. I have three questions regarding the same: 1) Will all four toes be operated on the same day? 2) Will it be done under General Anaesthesia? 3) Can I resume a Work from Home job two days after the surgery?I appreciate your time and response. Thank you.

Male | 24

Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.

My son whois 12 yrs old had fractured his rightleg two months back and his plaster was removed after 6 weeks but till now he is not able to walk properly.He takes first step and slowly slowly another step.He has no pain .Is this something to worry about?when can he play football or cycling?please help.Should I massage his leg

Male | 12

It's good that your kid's leg healed from the break. After the cast comes off, walking right may be hard. That happens because the leg muscles get weaker when in a cast. Have him walk more daily. Given time, he should play football or cycle normally again. Massaging his leg gently might help strengthen those muscles. If walking still troubles him, see an orthopedist.

There is a bony protrusion on my right metatarsal region

Female | 45

You likely have an extra bone growth called a bone spur. It causes a painful bony bump on your right foot's metatarsal area. This happens when you walk or stand. Wear shoes with good support and cushioned insoles. This should help ease discomfort. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist.

This could lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty in moving your arm. Falling and lifting heavy objects can cause injuries. To help, take a rest, apply ice, and take painkillers. Gentle exercises can also help once the pain improves. If it gets worse, go see an orthopedist.

I would advise you to see an orthopedist for your backache. It is also possible that relief cream will not be effective in the future if the root cause of the pain is not treated. Orthopedic specialist will be capable of identifying the cause of your backache and offer suitable treatment options.

Mere fingerings krne k baad toilet krte hai tb dard hota hai kya kre dr.

Female | 24

One common cause is a small tear in the skin around the anus, known as a fissure, which can occur from the pressure of passing stools or from the fingerings you mentioned. It could also be related to hemorrhoids or inflammation in the area. To help ease your discomfort, I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, drinking plenty of water, and including fiber-rich foods in your diet to soften stools. If the pain persists, it's important to see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and further guidance.

At 13 years old, it's absolutely okay to start incorporating dumbbell exercises into your routine! It can actually be a great way to build strength and stay healthy. However, it's essential to use the right weight and proper form to avoid any injuries. As long as you start with lighter weights, focus on technique, and don't overdo it, you should be just fine. Dumbbells won't stunt your growth or harm your health if used correctly. If you're new to this, maybe have a coach or parent guide you initially.

Joint pain can occur due to various reasons such as injury, arthritis, or overuse. Symptoms may involve swelling, stiffness, and limited movement. To relieve the pain, you can try resting, applying ice packs, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. If the pain continues, consulting an orthopedist would be the best option.

I am 17 yr. Boy have a accident 11 days ago fortunately i just got scratches on my body the wounds of my upper body (hands, arms )get healed they just left with white scars and some gonna to take 2 or 3 days to heal. But I have concern about the wounds of my leg mainly i got 4 wounds in my leg one on elbow and left three on my feet those three are like a hole but they got tissues their but the wounds are still their. I know it gonna take time but everytime i or my nurse change the dressing it got bleed bec when i have to walk all wounds of my leg start bleeding maybe stretch of tissues i don't use that leg to walk. But even it bleed. I don't know what's to do. It's like whenever i do dressing the wound get damaged and bleed because the bandage gets to stick to it because of blood. I use megaheal or betadine for dressing but mostly bettadin because after doing dressing with megaheal it hey pus ( little bit ) in the wound it happens to wound on elbow and feet please tell how can I solve this. And lil bit sorry for the bad explanation. And thanks

Male | 17

The redness, bleeding, and pus are signs that your wounds might be infected. It's important to keep the wounds clean and dry. Use Betadine for dressing, as it helps prevent infection. Avoid putting too much pressure on your leg wounds to reduce bleeding. Your wounds will heal with time.
