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.

Male | 33

The usual thing that you should do when you get a cut or hurt is cleanse the same with soap and water. To protect from infection, you should put some antiseptic on the wound. Employ a bandage as a cover to keep it safe from germs. If it is a larger wound or the bleeding will not stop, you will probably need to consult an orthopedic specialist. To facilitate the quick healing process, hygiene has to be the top priority of the affected area.

Male | 25

Dehydration and bulging are exacerbating disc changes causing muscle spasms to occur along the spine. That is why you get to feel pain, and stiffness, and the nerves are more sensitive. The possible fixes involve some physical therapy procedures, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, if necessary, cor searches for tumor syndrome. Then things such as upright posture, free movement exercises, and heat therapy will also be beneficial. Please make sure that you visit an orthopedist consultation, and personalized treatment for you is also necessary.

Hello doctor I am currently on fluoxetine 40mg since last 2 years Yesterday i had a small accident and my hand is aching a lot My physician has prescribed 50mg tramadol But i have read on google that tramadol and fluoxetine cannot be taken together Please help what to do??

Male | 25

Although fluoxetine and tramadol are both related to chemical levels in the brain, it is still not safe to mix them. In other words, their simultaneous consumption can intensify the likelihood of serotonin syndrome, a critical ailment that manifests symptoms such as confusion, sweating, and fast heartbeat. The best course of action would be for your physician to advise you on alternative pain relief options that are safe for you.

I have low back pain for 16 days now. It started mild at first – first seven days and it hurt when I sit down. When I stood, pain almost completely went away or when I lay down. Later, I had spasms in my back for a couple of days and I wasn't mobile for a while. Now I'm but I feel dull ache in the lower back. When I bend over, I need to be careful. Pain is localized and it's not radiating. I don't have any other symptoms.

Female | 29

Back pain is often caused by muscle strain. It occurs when muscles are overstretched by heavy lifting or quick movements. If bending over hurts, that likely indicates a strained muscle. To ease the discomfort, apply ice packs and do gentle stretching exercises. However, avoid any strenuous activities that strain your back further. If the pain persists, visit an orthopedist.

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.

I don't have any disease, I also did blood test but nothing wrong in the report but I have very little swelling in my left ankle which goes away in the morning or when I rest but comes back and also when I press my legs mid upper bone it makes a small dent ,I think it's fluid retention or high salt intake or due to heat or long sitting and standing, please suggest me because I am having anxiety due to this.

Female | 27

It's good to hear that your blood tests are normal, but the swelling in your ankle and the dent in your leg might still need attention. This could be due to fluid retention, high salt intake, or prolonged sitting and standing. I recommend visiting a general physician or a vascular specialist to rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address your anxiety as well, and they can guide both.

Step hit my toe after it pains and turns into red is it broken

Female | 19

It sounds like you've injured your toe, which can cause pain, swelling, and redness. Such symptoms may suggest a sprain or fracture. Immediate actions include resting the area, applying ice to reduce swelling, and elevating your foot. Over-the-counter pain relief can also help manage discomfort. However, to accurately determine if there’s a fracture or other injury, it’s essential to see an orthopedist. They can provide a thorough examination and any necessary imaging.

Thigh pain can result from overuse, muscle strain, or poor blood circulation. Have you tried resting your legs, applying ice, and doing gentle stretches? Staying hydrated also helps. If the pain continues, it's best to consult an orthopedist for proper treatment.

Female | 65

One of the significant problems that you have to recognize and take care of is the pain in your hip that you are experiencing after the surgery. Pain at the surgery site could be a symptom of various issues such as an infection, loosening of the implant, or a fracture. The hypothesis of the pain caused by the previously broken bone is still a possibility. Visit your orthopedic surgeon for an evaluation and discuss treatment options.

You feel this kind of pain while sitting. This pain can be caused by different things. It can be due to a strained or tight muscle sometimes. Other times it could be from the spine or nerves having a problem. To ease the pain, try sitting with good posture, using pillows for support, and doing light stretches.

Thank you.

Male | 24

Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.

Female | 25

You seem to have a knee fracture, which is a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and movement difficulty in the affected joint. Such injuries are most frequently seen in the patients who fell or were in accidents. The severity of the condition varies with the type and place of the fracture. The typical treatment is to lie down, apply ice, and use a compression bandage, and also, have your doctor’s orders closely followed. Sometimes conservative management with a splint or even surgery is indicated. Make sure to have a check-up with your orthopedist, which allows you to talk about your situation and receive medical treatment.

It sounds like you have a muscle tear in your calf muscle. This can happen if you overdo it on your muscles or damage them. You may experience symptoms like pain, swelling, and difficulty in leg movement. It is necessary to let your leg rest, apply ice and elevate it to speed up healing. Gentle stretching and physical therapy can also be effective healing methods. Stick to your doctor's recommendations and you are sure to make a complete recovery.
