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.

Step hit my toe after it pains and turns into red is it broken

Female | 19

It sounds like you've injured your toe, which can cause pain, swelling, and redness. Such symptoms may suggest a sprain or fracture. Immediate actions include resting the area, applying ice to reduce swelling, and elevating your foot. Over-the-counter pain relief can also help manage discomfort. However, to accurately determine if there’s a fracture or other injury, it’s essential to see an orthopedist. They can provide a thorough examination and any necessary imaging.

Female | 25

You seem to have a knee fracture, which is a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and movement difficulty in the affected joint. Such injuries are most frequently seen in the patients who fell or were in accidents. The severity of the condition varies with the type and place of the fracture. The typical treatment is to lie down, apply ice, and use a compression bandage, and also, have your doctor’s orders closely followed. Sometimes conservative management with a splint or even surgery is indicated. Make sure to have a check-up with your orthopedist, which allows you to talk about your situation and receive medical treatment.

If you notice accompanying symptoms, like discomfort or changes in vision, please consult an orthopedist. They can evaluate your situation thoroughly and recommend appropriate solutions, which might include lifestyle adjustments or therapies if needed.

Recently I started doing yoga again, and ive immediately been reminded why i stopped before. Basically some stretches feel fine, like once in the sides of my torso. But some other stretches i feel nothing at all, like if i put my soles together i can keep my knees fully on the floor and lie all the way forward and still feel absolutely no stretch, this is what most stretches feel like. But then some other stretches hurt WAYY to much, most importantly my hamstrings, i cannot lean even a bit forward with my legs straight and it already hurts like heck. I have no improvement in my hamstrings when doing more "gentle" yoga stretches, but then when i tried pushing myself a bit more in stretching my hamstrings, it would start hurting in my knees so much when i walked, almost like a pop or click with every step. Recently i considered the possibility of possibly being hypermobile, i can put my pinky fingers 90 degrees up, i can reach my wrists with my thumbs and i can do that thing where i lock my hands together behind my back and can put them over my head without letting go. I also get a strange uncomfortableness/awareness in my joints sometimes, not even a pain just uncomfortable. So basically my question is, do you think im hypermobile? and if so how (if possible) can i still do stretches/yoga without either feeling nothing or feeling intense pains? And is there any way i can get rid of the uncomfortableness in my joints?

Female | 19

It sounds like you may be hypermobile, which means your joints can move more than usual. You might have less stretch during yoga or feel intense pain in some stretches as symptoms. Instead of pushing too hard when stretching, focus on gentle moves for flexibility because this can help protect your joints. Also, make sure not to do any position that causes discomfort or hurts.

I'm Ahmad I have pain after my spine surgery Left leg complete

Male | 22

It's quite common to have some discomfort after spine surgery. The pain in your leg could be due to nerve irritation or inflammation resulting from the surgery. In fact, sometimes the nerves need time to heal and settle down. To help manage the pain, make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for pain relief medication and try gentle exercises to maintain flexibility. It's essential to stay in touch with your spine surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns that may arise.

Back pain is often a result of muscle strain or bad posture. Stomach problems leading to trips to the toilet could be a stomach virus or having issues with the stomach. The well-being of your body is essential, so try easy movements, drink enough water, and eat nutritious food. If it doesn't improve, see an orthopedist for more assistance.

Neck pain due to cut by thread while driving an activa

Female | Ruby Verma

Experiencing discomfort in your neck can often stem from minor injuries or strains. In your case, a small cut may have caused initial irritation or tension in the surrounding muscles. Symptoms could include stiffness, tenderness, or mild pain. To alleviate these feelings, try gently applying a cold compress and taking over-the-counter pain relief, if needed. Ensure you maintain good posture while driving. If discomfort persists or worsens, I strongly recommend consulting an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation.

Probably the effects of osteoporosis are coming out in you. Weak and brittle bones are the reason why it is easier to faint and die. In addition, it can lead to unevolved discomfort in some parts of your body. One of the causes of osteoporosis is aging, not getting enough calcium and vitamin D, or taking some medications. The main components include the introduction of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-preserving medicine, and participation in regular activities aimed at enhancing the moisture content of bones.

You have been suffering from severe pain and discomfort in many parts of your body. The discomfort in your fingers, legs, hips, back, neck, and the area under your breast, besides a loss of strength in your abdominal area, can be nerve problems or an injured muscle.

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.
