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.

Hello, I am Leah i’m 15 years old and i’ve been having back problems since last october. it’s been affecting my whole life and i have no clue what i should do.

Female | 15

One big reason for this is bad posture. It’s also possible if you were carrying around something heavy like school books in a backpack or if pulled a muscle. Here are some tips that might help: try to sit up straight when you’re sitting down, don’t pick up anything too heavy, and make sure your desk is set up correctly for you. You could also try doing some easy exercises or gentle stretches – they sometimes provide relief from these sorts of aches and pains. But if nothing changes and the ache won’t go away, you must talk to an adult about seeing an orthopedist who knows more about health.

Hello Doctors!! I'm 24 years old unintentionally found my bone mineral density score is -2.09 in a office health camp. After reading on internet I'm getting panic. 1. Is this condition (osteopenia) common in a person of my age? 2. Can I get back to normal score? 3. Can I reverse by using vitamin and mineral supplements? Thanks in advance ????????

Male | 24

Anyone at any age can have Osteopenia. So you’re not alone. Catching it early is wise. Eat foods with calcium, get vitamin D from the sun, and do some walking or other weight-bearing exercises so you can pick up your score. Consider taking supplements if there’s a lack of them in your body, but always consult an orthopedist first.

My mother is 39 year old female, she's been having pain in all of her joints for the past 4 months, it worsens with physical activities while pain alleviates with rests. I want to know who I should consult with for further treatment

Female | 39

As for your mother's complaints of painful joints, which are aggravated by activity and relieved by rest, they can be interpreted as potential signs of arthritis. Arthritis is a disease that is characterized by swelling and pain in the joints. Therefore, you need to consult a rheumatologist for further treatment. A rheumatologist is a doctor who specializes in the treatment of arthritis and other joint problems. They can assist in determining the origin of the discomfort and enable the correct therapy to be administered that will aid in the alleviation of the signs.

Suffering from spine pain since 2 years.

Female | 45

Incorrect posture, injuries, and medical conditions can cause back pain. This might make it hard for you to move and make you sore or stiff. Exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles in your back and improving your posture help a lot. Also, try sitting or standing properly by using ergonomics to relieve the pain. When these do not work, get advice from an orthopedist who will check it out further and then give treatment options if necessary.

Have generalised anxiety disorder and currently tapering off of Paxidep 12.5 . The cramps kind of feel like weakness and dull ache.

Leg ankle heavy pain and swelling

Female | 25

An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

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.

Female | 29

The symptoms you described could be indicative of osteoarthritis. This is a condition where the cartilage in your joint wears away, resulting in the rubbing of bones against each other and, subsequently, pain and stiffness. To assist in the control of your symptoms, you can follow gentle exercises to build up the muscles around your knee, apply hot or cold packs for relief, and think of talking to an orthopedist about treatment options such as physical therapy or medications.

A clay shoveler's fracture is a small fracture in one of the vertebrae in your neck, usually caused by sudden bending or overuse of the muscles in that area. Most cases heal well with conservative treatment like rest, pain management, and sometimes a brace to support the neck. I recommend seeing a neurologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on the best course of action for your specific case.

I am 25 year old male. I was playing soccer and I had a fairly significant leg on leg contact on my shin, it shows lots of bruising but that feels expected. What is unexpected is that my ankle/foot has intense bruising that is a deep purple and fairly large. It is tender to touch but I feel no pain otherwise on my ankle. What could this be?

Male | 25

You might have something called compartment syndrome. This occurs when the pressure within the muscles of your leg increases leading to swelling and pain. There could be intense bruising around your ankle can be an indication of this. It is vital to have it checked by an orthopedist immediately so as not to have any further complications.

Hi, Im a 40 year old female. i have alot of pain in my heels, which is almost unbearable now and im seeking help in regards to that. i dont know if this is related to the pain , but i have Psoriasis and got treated for it around 5 years ago, and get checkups once in a year. i think the pain might be somewhat related to Psoriasis as it is right over my heels. hope someone understands the root cause of this and helps me.

Female | 40

Your heel discomfort troubles me. Heel agony may stem from Psoriatic Arthritis, a Psoriasis-linked disorder. This condition inflames joints, causing aches and swells. Neglecting it risks permanent harm. Thus, consulting a Rheumatologist is crucial for proper assessment and therapy. They'll prescribe medicines and suggest exercises to alleviate your suffering.
