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.

Ling me Kala Khun jama ho Gaya hai

Male | 25

Having dark or black blood in your urine can sometimes happen due to various reasons. It could be from certain foods you ate, medications you're taking, or even dehydration. However, it's crucial to get this checked out by an urologist to rule out more serious issues like a urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other underlying conditions. I recommend you make an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and any necessary tests.

I’m 29 years old and I have my right arm started off about a month With just my ring finger, in the morning, it would be hard to open. My hands, felt like pulling from the wrist down to my ring finger, and then up to my elbow. now I have constant pain in my wrist leading up to my Ring finger to lift anything pick up anything or grip anything without pain

Female | 49

Carpal tunnel syndrome seems to be your interpretation. A squashed nerve in your wrist, which is accompanied by pain, weakness, and tingling in your hand and fingers, is the cause of this problem. It can be due to overstretching your wrist, as one uses a computer or a phone for a long time. As an alternate solution, you could try wearing a wrist splint, doing hand stretches, and taking breaks from activities that involve overextending your wrist. If the pain persists, see an orthopedist for more advice.

It is common to feel more pain if you have been without a supporter for some days. It is necessary to let your finger sit still for a while and then you can apply the cold pack to the injured area to decrease any swelling. If the pain persists or worsens, you should consult an orthopedist.

She takes hypertension medicine and controls pre-diabetes with diet. It's been 10 days since her surgery, she has a temporary plaster and we haven't got the x-ray yet. What are her chances of full recovery? Can there be any complications because of arthritis and how can we prevent those?

Female | 62

Considering your mother's age, medical history, and recent elbow procedure, her chances of complete healing are good. However, arthritis can sometimes slow down recovery. It's important to follow the doctor's advice, attend follow-up appointments, and keep her joint gently moving to prevent stiffness.

I got my knee patella dislocated for first time 2 weeks ago and today my plaster got dispatched. My knee has swelling is it due to plaster? And I am not able to bend it I am able to stand properly on both legs but while walking my knee can’t hold my weight properly. Will this automatically take time to be normal or should I do some exercises? And what to do to reduce swelling?

Male | 19

Swelling after causing a dislocated patella is usual. The plaster may play a part in the swelling, however, the major reason behind the injury is. Difficulty bending and walking are expected early on. As the knee mends, this will improve slowly over time. Light exercises your orthopedist suggests can stretch and strengthen your knee. Resting, elevating your leg, applying ice packs, and taking prescribed medications if necessary to reduce swelling will be helpful.

Could you recommend some medication for me? I took LCZ 5mg this morning, but it hasn’t provided relief.Also I have slight cough and a sensation in my nose.

Your symptoms suggest sinusitis. Inflamed sinuses cause headaches, neck pain, coughs, congestion, runny noses. Over-the-counter ibuprofen reduces pain, inflammation. Drinking fluids, using humidifiers eases discomfort. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, see a doctor promptly.

Recently one of my fingers was cut off due to a bike accident. I have undergone plastic surgery on the finger and an iron wire has been stuck on it, but why does my hand look small?

Female | 27

It is common to see that a hand looks smaller because of the swelling and the other tissues that are nearby. Muscles may also shrink. As the healing time goes by, this can improve and the hand may return to its normal size. You can help speed up the recovery process if you try such movements and undergo physical therapy. Keep physical activity within the limits of your orthopedist's advice.

You need to rest and elevate your leg, apply ice wrapped in a cloth, and use a compression bandage. Over thecounter pain relievers can help manage pain and inflammation.

I Got MRI done Of spine for some back pain puropse Can I get to know About my growth plates from that. As I can absorb I have a thin black line between vertibrals and white Between space between each vertribals.... I will be glad for you help doctor..

Male | 18

An MRI focuses on soft tissues and bones, including the condition of your spine, but it isn't specifically designed to assess growth plates, which are typically evaluated through X-rays. The thin black line you observed likely represents the intervertebral disc space, which contains fluid and can indicate health in that area. Back pain can arise from various factors, including muscle strain, posture issues, or disc problems. I recommend discussing your MRI results with your orthopedist, who can offer tailored advice and treatment options based on your specific situation.

It’s common to experience back pain in your age group because of several factors. It may be due to rapid growth or carrying a heavy backpack. Some indications for this condition may include tenderness, rigidity, or uneasiness. To solve this problem, don’t carry heavy bags and do exercises that will tighten your muscles. Also, be mindful of how you sit or stand. If the discomfort persists then it would be wise to inform an adult about it.

I have an ingrown nail in the feet. Now i geel my feet weird and my leg like a tendon ahs been pulled

Female | 44

This occurs when the nail’s edge grows into the skin, resulting in pain and redness. If left untended, an infection can develop. Your strange foot feelings and the pulled-tendon-like sensation in your leg could both be tied to this condition. To help reduce discomfort, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently massage the area. However, if the pain continues or worsens, it’s a good idea to seek help from an orthopedist.

Than you

Male | 18

You likely overused your shoulder muscles. Pain, weakness, and the fact your arm does not move well are the possible indications that your muscle has strained and/or torn. This can occur when the muscles are stretched too much. To start the healing process, keep the shoulder in a resting position, apply a cold pack to the affected area, and stay away from activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, go to an orthopedist.

Your symptoms are quite similar to those of sciatica. Sciatica pains are a form of irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is often responsible for the feeling. Physical therapy or even surgery may be necessary. It's important to consult a specialist, like a rheumatologist or orthopedic doctor, for proper diagnosis and treatment guidance tailored to your condition.
