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.

Lower back and hip pain. Been to chiropractor twice and muscle relaxers not working

Female | 37

Lower back and hip pain result from many factors, like muscle strain, arthritis, or slip disc. It is better to consult a orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment. An orthopedist can talk about physical therapy, medication and surgery if needed. Remember not to use self-medication and medical consultation to manage the pain.

I am a 20 year old male. I have observed that the growth of my arm bone(both the hands) stopped in teen years which resulted in unusually thin arms. What should I do?

Male | 20

You have skinny arms due to delayed bone growth. This can be caused by factors like genetics, poor diet, or hormones. It's important to see your doctor; they can evaluate your condition and recommend treatment. In the meantime, focus on foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, as these help strengthen bones. Also, working out and lifting weights can build muscle and strengthen your arms. However, your orthopedist’s advice will be the most helpful, so ensure to follow it.

Hi, my name is Raffaele, 29 yo and I use to have pain between my calf and my tibia. I used Ice packs and pills to reduce the pain but nothing. It happens when im training much or playing soccer.

Male | 29

This discomfort between your calf and tibia often arises from increased physical activity. While ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers can help, it's essential to rest and gradually increase your training intensity. Strengthening exercises for your lower legs may also be beneficial. However, if the pain persists or worsens, please consider scheduling an appointment with an orthopedist to properly assess your condition and discuss tailored treatment options.

Iam having severe pain above knee joint,from 5days .I can't walk properly, can't stand due to pain,why did it suddenly happened?,and iam having nervous weakness hand paining,thumb etc joints pain ,

Female | 20

The pain may be due to tendonitis, which is the inflammation of the tendons around the knee, and that might be causing the problem. On the other hand, hand and thumb joint pain might be a sign of osteoarthritis. Resting your knee, putting ice on the swelling area, and moving your hand slowly are the best home remedies for it. If nothing changes, you should consult an orthopedist.

Male | 53

Since you don't have a fever, that's a good sign. Weakness in the legs can be due to various reasons, such as dehydration, vitamin deficiencies, or even excessive physical activity. I'd recommend staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins, and taking some rest. If the weakness persists or gets worse, it would be best to consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Take care of yourself!

Hand problem my elbow is gone to fracture

Male | 25

Your elbow might be broken. When the elbow is broken, you can feel pain, see swelling, and can’t move your arm easily. Fractures may occur by falling or putting too much pressure on the joint while doing some activities. A cast or sling may be required for your elbow to heal, but sometimes an operation is necessary too. Don't forget to follow up with an orthopedist.

Male | 27

In this case, prolonged sitting in one position and repetitive neck movements can serve as the causes. The popping is now attributed to the presence of air bubbles in the joints. It's very nice that you don't have a family background of cancer. If you can, do gentle neck exercises along with stretching. You may also use heat or ice for relief. If the pain still does not go away, you can look for an orthopedist for more help.

Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.

The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

Hello, I had a partial tear in the patellar tendon in the right knee. The doctor gave me a belt to stabilize the leg, which was loose for more than a month. At the appointment, he said that the tear had healed without me taking an x-ray. He sent me to physical rehabilitation to do the classes. My question is, can I walk without that belt and crutch? To strengthen the thigh muscle

ذكر | 38

Your kneecap tendon has healed, which is great! If you feel unsure about walking without support, that's normal. It's important to start slowly and listen to your body. If you experience any discomfort, continue using a knee brace or crutches. As you grow stronger and more stable, gradually reduce your reliance on them.

Nine years ago, my Elder Sister twisted her ankle on three different occasions, that led to swelling. Over the past years, we have consulted many doctors, but nothing seemed to help her and now, her ankle had completely turned black, with severe pain and itching, followed by occasional white semi transparent liquid oozing from the pores.

Female | 47

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible she may have developed a condition called chronic venous insufficiency. This happens when the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart. The black discoloration could be due to poor circulation, and the oozing liquid might be a sign of skin breakdown or infection. It's crucial she sees an orthopedist promptly for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, elevating her leg, applying ice, and avoiding prolonged standing may help alleviate some discomfort.
