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.

Male | 33

Swelling is the outcome of many reasons like injury, overuse, and also arthritis. Since the pain relief cream didn't help, try using an ice pack on your knee for 15-20 minutes a few times a day. Moreover, give your knee some rest whenever possible. If the swelling stays unchanged, you might consider consulting an orthopedist for more tests.

Male | 14

You could be having turf toe, which is typical when doing sports such as football. Turf toe occurs when the big toe joint is injured, and can cause pain. Symptoms are swelling, pain, and limited movement of the toe. To assist in the healing process, try to rest your foot, use ice packs, and wear supportive shoes. Ignoring the pain, and consulting with the family doctor is a better option.

Female | 14

You’ve sprained your ankle, and it may still be causing inflammation, soreness, and pain weeks after the injury. A sprain happens when the ligaments are stretched or torn, leading to pain and swelling. Rest your ankle, ice it, elevate it, and consider using a compression bandage. If it doesn’t improve, it’s best to see an orthopedist for advice.

how can i know that my growth plate are closed or open at home

Male | 18

If you want to know if the bone line of your bone is closed or still open, you can see a doctor and get some exams done on it. Typically, if you have completed your growth spurt and there are differences in your body, it might mean closure. Among the known factors are age, hormone fluctuations, and genetics. Nevertheless, the best way to determine that is a physical examination, for instance, an X-ray that the physician can accurately interpret. If you are worried about the development or growth, I advise you to visit an orthopedist who will give you advice and the comfort of your mind by making an examination plan just for you.

It is common to feel more pain if you have been without a supporter for some days. It is necessary to let your finger sit still for a while and then you can apply the cold pack to the injured area to decrease any swelling. If the pain persists or worsens, you should consult an orthopedist.

I want to cure my clay shoveler's fracture in c6

Male | 28

A clay shoveler's fracture is a small fracture in one of the vertebrae in your neck, usually caused by sudden bending or overuse of the muscles in that area. Most cases heal well with conservative treatment like rest, pain management, and sometimes a brace to support the neck. I recommend seeing a neurologist for a proper evaluation and guidance on the best course of action for your specific case.

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.

It is common to have discomfort with hips and leg pain for a person. Such kind of pain can come from different places like muscle tension, joints problem, and even posture. With the increase in pain, it could be a sign of an illness./As the discomfort intensifies, it may indicate an underlying condition that requires attention.

Laminectomy and Discordectomy + l4-5 fixation with decompression of cord. Pre op my problem was being unable to stand and drive for more than 15 mins after that, I feel burning sensation in my left leg. Post op after 2 months, the situation is worse. Now I cannot even site for 10-15 mins without the same happening. The doctor said it is due to lack of protein and to eat more non veg but I have been eating Non-veg every other day. Is the doctor here have performed a failed op or it wasn't even the right operation needed to undergo

Male | 54

It sounds like you're having a tough time after your surgery. The burning sensation in your leg might be caused by nerve issues, or perhaps the surgery didn't go as expected. While a lack of protein could be a factor, it's not the only possibility. It would be best to consult with an orthopedist again to get a clearer understanding of the issue.

Your shoulder pain is quite troubling. Weakness in your arm may indicate nerve or muscle problems. Pulling your arm could worsen the issue. Consulting another doctor like a neurologist is crucial. They'll diagnose the condition precisely. After that, treatments like physical therapy may help alleviate your symptoms.
