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.

My wife left hand pain and narve strain

Female | 28

Pain in the left hand, particularly from nerve strain, can stem from various causes such as overuse, repetitive motions, or even poor posture. Symptoms may include tingling, weakness, or stiffness. To ease her symptoms, recommend gentle stretching, warm compresses, and regular breaks from activities that strain her hand. Encouragement to modify any repetitive tasks can also help. However, if the pain persists or worsens, please consider a consultation with an orthopedist for a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan.

Did you consult with neurologist or orthopedist? If not then please do that. They can diagnose the underlying cause of the sciatica and provide appropriate treatment. Some self-care measures such as taking over-the-counter pain relievers, gentle stretching, and hot/cold compresses may also help to get rid of the symptoms.

My feet swallow and leg bones get fragile if its pressed while working on computer table

Male | 42

This could be due to poor circulation from sitting for long periods without moving. When you sit still for a while, blood can pool in your feet, causing swelling, and the lack of movement can lead to bone density loss, making your leg bones feel fragile. To help with this, try taking breaks to stretch and walk around every hour, elevate your feet when sitting, and stay hydrated. If the symptoms persist, it's important to see an orthopedist for a proper evaluation and further advice.

Sir my age is 58 yrs old and I am suffering back pan injury from couple yrs due DISC DIFFUSE BULGE AT L4-L5 LEVEL AND L5-S1 LEVEL BY MRI SCAN LUMBAR SPINE. PLEASE ADVISE ?

Male | 58

The bulging discs at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels might be a reason for the nearby nerves to get compressed which would have caused the pain. Sometimes, resting, physical therapy, and pain medications can help manage the problem. In cases where the pain is severe and other treatments don't work, surgery can be an option. Generally, you should keep your body safe and abide by your doctor's orders to discover the most effective method for treating your back pain.

I am 28 years old male and I have only right side lower back pain for more than one week

Male | 28

The possible cause could be straining the muscles or having a bad posture due to sitting in one position for too long. Furthermore, back pain may also be an indication of kidney problems. To alleviate your condition drink plenty of water and refrain from engaging in strenuous activities. Another way is applying heat pads as well as doing some gentle stretches. However, if the situation persists seeking medical attention from an orthopedist is important for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Female | 29

The swelling and pain of the ankle and toes can be due to some joint-related or circulation-related problem. Irregular periods can be caused by imbalances of hormones. Severe hair fall can be caused by stress or lack of nutrition. Headaches and laziness could be signs of different types of problems. It's necessary to have an orthopedist make the right diagnosis and provide the correct treatment.

I'm 50 year old facing sharp pain behind knee muscle after hit in knee

Female | 50

The pain could be due to a knee injury, so rest your knee and avoid putting weight on it. Consult an orthopedist and take pain medications as prescribed. And keep applying ice. If the pain persists or worsens keep your knee elevated and use crutches or a knee brace if you need to move around.
