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.

Hey! Little backstory of me. I had diagnosed DVT 4 months ago. So I am still using anticoagulants. DVT cause was covid and it started on left calf. Now, few days ago I woke up and suddenly felt pain in my left foot. To be precise, on the ball of foot. No swelling or color changes. And no jumping or running or long days on foot. Just a pain. I can’t stand and put pressure on this foot. But, if I try to walk a little, the pain gets milder. It won’t completely go away, but I can manage it. First question is, can I get blood clot on bottom of my foot? Secondly, I tried to research and got no real answers, so maybe you could take a guess. Age 29, weight 80kg.

Male | 29

Yes, getting a blood clot in the small vessels of your foot is something that can happen, but it is rare. The pain that you have may be nerve problems or strain. Be observant of it and if it does not go away or worsens, do not hesitate to contact an orthopedist for a check-up to be on the safe side.

The X-ray report suggests that your mother has a right femoral neck fracture with osteoporosis of the bones. Furthermore, she has mild to moderate spondylotic changes in her lumber spine. Your mother should see an orthopedic specialist to assess and determine the treatment plan for her fracture/osteoporosis.

My all body in pain I'm feel fatigue and fever when I'm lay down on bed my knees burning

Male | 18

These symptoms can be caused by different underlying problems such as infections, inflammation, or fatigue. It's really important to prioritize bearing, making sure to stay hydrated, and using over-the-counter painkillers if the pain is too strong. Nevertheless, since your symptoms are very persistent, I strongly suggest you get an orthopedist's advice and an extensive assessment of it.

Hi good morning sir, I daughter is suffering knee swelling & skin redness issue since yesterday. Fever also getting. Can you please suggest this and advance root cause of issue?

Female | 17 months

This could be your daughter's knee infection. If a knee has swollen up, become red and warm to touch, and there is a fever, it could be a sign of infection. This may be due to bacteria that enter the knee joint. She needs to see an orthopedist without delay. Infections can be vitally important and require the right treatment with antibiotics.

Male | 30

There are many different reasons why people get back pain. It could be because of a muscle strain or problems with your discs. Also, if you still have the pain even after getting an MRI done and treated for it then more tests need to be carried out. Make sure you talk about what’s been happening with your doctor because they’ll need this information to help figure out what would work best for you.

Iam 31 male.I am facing issue is my upper middle back body is hurting daily from the last 6 months after sleeping or moving my body when lying down i feel like muscle catchy or squeezing Some said this is due to acidity or gas but I don't know what is exactly I'm suffering this daily.when i try to get up it hurts even more

Male | 31

You are describing muscle pain caused by poor posture in the middle of your upper back. There are a lot of possible diseases, such as bad posture, muscle overuse, or muscle surgery. The next common reason may be correlated with acid reflux or heartburn. To relieve your symptoms, try to adjust your sitting position, do gentle stretching exercises, and not eat foods that bother you with acidity. If you are still experiencing pain, visit an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

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.

i am suffering from bone problem

Male | 29

You may have an issue with your bones. This could stem from lacking calcium or Vitamin D. When bones don't receive enough of those nutrients, they weaken. Pain sets in, making movement difficult. To combat this, consume calcium-rich foods like milk and yogurt. Eat leafy greens high in Vitamin D.

Hi There, I recently had a full blood count test and a kidney function test to check for any abnormalities, and the results were normal. However, lately, my hands have been feeling full and it’s difficult to open and close them, sometimes causing pain. They do swell slightly, particularly in the morning after I wake up. At night, I can feel blood flowing to my hands, and I experience the same sensation during the day at work.

Female | 32

This can happen if there is pressure on the nerves in your wrist. Repetitive hand movements or certain health conditions are the main culprits. You can do it by using a wrist splint, taking breaks, and doing hand exercises. Also, if the symptoms continue, you should consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.

Female | 18

These symptoms can happen if a person sits too long without moving around enough or they have some medical problem. You should see an orthopedist about your ankles so we know what’s going on with them. In the meantime try raising your legs up high when you can–this will help bring more blood flow down into your feet. Also, put cold packs on them to ease any swelling and hurt.

I have a ingrowing nail. Just an hour ago i feel my feet like weird and my leg feels lime a tendon has been pulled

Female | 44

It looks like you may have an ingrown toenail. When a toenail grows into the skin instead of over it, it can cause pain, redness, and swelling. Sometimes, it can make your whole foot feel funny or like a tendon is pulled. To help with this, soak your foot in warm soapy water and gently raise the nail. If it’s really sore, see a podiatrist for help.
