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.

Female | 23

You're suffering from pain deep inside your hip, particularly in the wintertime. Conditions like arthritis or bursitis could cause this. To properly diagnose, you should consult an orthopedist. Soft exercises like stretching and strengthening are effective in relieving hip pain.

I feel pain near my groin area on my left. Sometimes, it's sharp. It started last week but one with pain during urination, but it stopped last week. Now I'm just experiencing a strain on my left groin area. How can I be assisted?

Male | 20

The pain you referred to before may have been due to an infection that caused the pain during urination. This may be a muscle strain or even a hernia. Getting enough rest, drinking plenty of water, applying ice, and avoiding heavy work are things you can do to help yourself feel better. If the pain continues, you should see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis.

I am 17 year old female. A heavy metal container fell on my knee which caused a lot of bruising. It didn't hurt after that. In June it hurt mildly for a few days then the pain went away. In September the pain came back and it was worse. My knee had swelled up a little, it popped a lot and it hurt a lot continuously for 3 weeks. After that the pain calmed down but I've been having continuous mild knee pain since

Female | 17

It seems like you may have sustained a considerable injury to cause widespread bruising, which was then followed by periods of pain and swelling. Swelling as well as popping can be indications of joint irritation or injury of the surrounding structures, like ligaments or cartilage. Still, sustained minor discomfort may be due to remaining inflammation or strain. Make sure to rest the knee, apply ice, and if need be, use over-the-counter pain relief. If symptoms don't go away or get worse, I suggest visiting an orthopedist for a thorough check-up.

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.

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.

Female | 22

As you described, the sharp hip pain you get during the winter months and the redness and lines outside the vagina might be due to a condition called vulvar dermatitis. This can be painful but it is not the cause of pain inside the vagina or during urination. The drops after urination could be the muscle around the bladder causing it. To alleviate the discomfort, gentle washing and wearing cotton underwear may help. If the symptoms persist, an orthopedist can provide further guidance.

I have a pain in my back.

Female | 24

Back discomfort can arise from various factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, or inflammatory conditions. Common symptoms may include tightness, soreness, or difficulty in movement. It's essential to maintain good posture, incorporate stretching exercises, and use heat or cold therapy for relief. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also be helpful. However, if the pain persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like numbness or weakness, I strongly recommend consulting an orthopedist. They can provide a thorough evaluation and tailor a treatment plan to your needs.

Female | 73

Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. The result could be sharp pain down the leg. In case physiotherapy, pain medications, and stretching exercises have been ineffective, a change to other treatment methods such as epidural steroid injections, acupuncture, or surgery should be considered. Be sure to bring these treatments up with an orthopedist for the best plan to follow.

I have mild scoliosis is it treatable Is exercise is a good treatment for mild scoliosis

Male | 18

Mild scoliosis is when your spine curves sideways. This twisting condition can cause back discomfort, make one shoulder or hip higher than the other, and make you get tired faster. Exercising helps strengthen spine muscles, improving posture. So focus on stretches and strengthening moves for that curved spine. But remember, regular orthopedist checkups monitor scoliosis progress. They ensure the right steps are taken for your specific curve's treatment.

A couple of days ago I was getting up off the floor after some push ups and lost my balance a bit and felt several cracks/pops from my left knee. I was crouching on the balls of my feet falling backwards and to try to regain balance I was leaning my knees forward in full flexion, with my thighs pressing onto my calves. I kind of collapsed one the spot, more due to surprise than in pain but it was sore after that. Now it's not really hindering me while I'm on my feet at all aside from a sense of fragility if that makes sense, though that could be more mental to be honest. However I do start to feel a tiny bit of pain and a combination of discomfort and weakness when I flex my knee approaching a 90 degrees with my thigh, both behind my knee around the end of my thigh and on top of my knee towards the outside and a bit below the kneecap.

Male | 25

Flexing your knee at around 90 degrees causes pain behind and on top of the knee. It's essential to seek medical advice to diagnose and treat the issue properly. Avoid putting stress on the knee and consider resting and elevating it until you see an orthopedist.

Back pain headache and i wake up in the night for washroom

Female | 23

Back troubles can be a result of improper posture, bearing heavy loads, or remaining seated for a long period. Tension and not drinking enough water can be the reasons for headaches. The urge to urinate in the middle of the night might be a bladder issue. To recuperate, begin with simple training, increase your water intake, and get to bed earlier.
