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.

Hi there, Hope you’re doing well. I’m reaching out to ask about medial tibial stress syndrome/tibial stress fractures. I’ve been training for my 2nd marathon for the past few months and have experienced some shin pain along the inside of my left leg (dominate leg). It’s a low pain level that never exceeds 1-3 out of 10 on a pain level scale. My main issue is that it’s challenging to self diagnose this. Part of me sees a couple fracture symptoms - the pain is localized (not big like a typical shin splint), there is slight pain when I run up or down stairs, some discomfort when I jump multiple times on the one leg, and the pain fluctuates from day to day. And although the pain point is localized, it’s not quite as tender or painful as some examples I’ve read online (so maybe not a fracture?). My reasons why I think this could just be a shin splint are because the pain has not gotten worse over the past 3 weeks (while running), and the pain fades away most of the time when I’m running (sometimes I feel discomfort during the first mile or 2 but then it’s gone). I even ran a half marathon race with a personal best time just 5 days ago, and was not bothered by it during or after the race. I started noticing this issue about 3 weeks ago. I took a couple days off from running 2.5 weeks ago to address it. I didn’t think it was anything alarming, so I continued my training for 2 weeks - I run about 50 to 60 miles a week. I haven’t ran for 5 days this week because I began to get paranoid about this injury still lingering (last thing I want is to turn a shin splint into a fracture). It’s strange the injury hasn’t gotten worse, and like I said, the pain fluctuates from day to day, but never exceeds a 3 out of 10 on the pain level scale. I’m wondering if you have any recommendations and if it’s worth visiting a doctor in person soon. My ultimate goal is to still run my marathon the final weekend of April, but I’ll need at least 5 to 6 more weeks of training - therefore if my rest time exceeds 3 weeks, I probably can’t do the race. Obviously it’s not the end of the world if I have to sit out. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon! Take care, Dominic

Male | 23

You might have medial tibial stress syndrome or tibial stress fractures, which occur when your shin bones experience repeated stress from activities like running. You may feel localized pain, discomfort when jumping, and varying levels of pain. Rest, apply ice to the area, and consider seeing an orthopedist for evaluation and advice.

Female | 64

Groin pain can come from different sources like a muscle strain or hernia. To find out the right one, an orthopedist might recommend your tests like an ultrasound or MRI. These tests are to look through your body and find the exact problem. After the diagnosis is made, the doctor can recommend the right therapy, which may consist of physical therapy or surgery.

I am 40 years old male and been complaining from back pain for about almost 20 years in the past years as I’m getting older. It’s been getting worse now I am kind of walking differently and my back is a little bent with a back hump, I did an MRI and I had C4 C5 C6 t1 t2 and L5 S1 mentioned some abnormality in their function. My question is will this be cured through surgery or even give me a better chance living a better life if I do the surgery because back surgery really does scare me a lot.

Male | 40

Your back pain could be due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. If it is, you might have trouble walking or your posture could change. Having surgery might help take the pressure off of the nerves and make the symptoms better. Surgery can often help improve your quality of life, but it's important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a spine specialist. They will guide you on the best treatment options and help address your concerns about surgery.

It's great that you've dedicated so many years to your work, but if you're experiencing health issues, it's important not to ignore them. Given your long-term involvement in food service, you may be prone to conditions related to prolonged standing, repetitive movements, or stress. Visit an internal orthopedist or a general physician who can evaluate your concerns and guide you on the next steps.

Male | 62

Spinal surgery costs depend principally on the kind of procedure, place, and patient health status. However, the most common reasons including chronic pain, herniated discs, or spinal deformities are the disorders that people go for surgeries. These include treatments that focus on the primary issue, which may also involve a hospital stay. You should get a comprehensive check-up with an orthopedist first so you will know what to do.

Based on your reports, it seems like you have a condition called disc desiccation at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a disc bulge and nerve compression, leading to your sciatica symptoms. This can be quite painful, I know. Now, what we can do to help you feel better is to focus on pain management and physical therapy. Additionally, we may consider injections or even surgical options if conservative measures don't provide relief. It's important to stay active but avoid activities that worsen your pain.

Why do my feet swall up every day

Female | 24

You're experiencing daily swelling in your feet, which could be due to several reasons. This might happen from sitting or standing too long, consuming too much salt, lack of physical activity, or an underlying issue like heart or kidney problems. To reduce the swelling, try elevating your feet, staying active, and cutting down on salty foods. Discuss this with an orthopedist for further advice.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road

Female | 22

I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

Male | 26

When ligaments of your body are injured, it may be experienced as pain, inflammation, and weakness of the limb. One way is to perform surgery where the doctors tie the ligaments and transfer the tendon. This method facilitates your movement capabilities and minimizes your hurting. You may also consult an orthopedist.
