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 | 85

An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.

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.

6 years back I got accident with my knees small scar is there know I got married I have tried to date with my wife suddenly I am facing issues of injury in that place bleeding also now how can I resolve this problem can you please let me know

Male | 32

The old scar from your previous knee injury might have opened up, which caused you to be bleeding. This can be due to scar tissue that is old and brittle. The bleeding may be due to a small trauma or irritation. To aid, wash the area with soap and water, put a sterile dressing on it, and do not press on it. If the bleeding does not stop, you should see an orthopedist.

Hi, about one month ago i was doing yoga and while doing Surya namaskar my left leg knee got twisted little badly i went to the nearest dispensary. They prescribed some medicine and didn't say much. I also applied some oil for pain relief and used crap bandage. It felt fine after 7-8 days. Now recently i went for trekking and there my same leg slipped now I'm having little discomfort in knee so should I go to doctor and do some x-ray or it will be fine.

Female | 26

I'm not a doctor, but if you experienced a knee injury that still causes discomfort after a month, it might be a good idea to seek medical attention. It's possible that the initial injury did not fully heal, and the recent slip during trekking may have exacerbated the problem. You should consider seeing an orthopedic doctor or an orthopedic specialist.

It seems that, according to your described symptoms, you are dealing with one of the types of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a clot in the blood vessels deep inside body. You should immediately seek the advice of a physician, preferably from among vascular specialists to allow for proper testing and diagnosis.

Lumps can form on feet for various reasons. They might result from an impact, like bumping against something. Or they could signify a cyst or wart. If the lump causes discomfort, grows larger, or interferes with walking, seeking medical attention is advisable. An orthopedist can properly diagnose and treat the condition based on the lump's nature.

Typical signs are swelling, stiffness, or pain during any movement. To get rid of this, apply ice, put the leg up, and take over-the-counter painkillers if needed. It is essential to include strengthening exercises and weight management for health benefits. But, if the symptoms persist or become worse, you should consult an orthopedist for a comprehensive evaluation and individualized advice.

You're possibly dealing with sciatica. That occurs when a nerve gets pinched in your lower back area. Neck and shoulder discomfort could stem from muscle tension or strain. Gentle stretches, warm baths, and OTC pain meds may provide relief. However, if the pain lingers, see an orthopedist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

After bypass surgery there is significant pain in leg after months of surgery

Male | 75

If you're feeling a lot of pain in your leg months after having bypass surgery, it could be due to a condition called peripheral artery disease. This is a situation in which the blood vessels in your leg are not functioning properly, thus, pain is caused. To help, try to walk periodically as directed, keep your leg elevated as much as possible, and take any prescribed medications. If the pain doesn't go away, tell your surgeon about it.

Male | Neo

It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.

If your legs and toes are not quite comfortable, then your lower back offers tightness from muscle strain and twitching of muscles might come from a variety of problems including pinched nerves and contracted muscles. All of these symptoms are likely seen from improper posture, overuse, or even underlying illnesses. The need to regular stretching, proper body methodology, and being active are vital. Additionally, heat therapy can effectively relax the tense muscles. However, before a correct diagnosis and treatment plan, it is important to reveal your tangled health problem to the orthopedist.
