Why hasn't my hand bone healed properly yet?

It may take longer for the bone to heal if it has not done so after four weeks. Factors such as blood supply or movement at the site of the fracture can cause this. While you should keep the plaster cast on and avoid using the hand too much, it would also be best to visit an orthopedist again so that they can offer further advice on how to care for and ensure proper healing of the bone.

Why am I experiencing bloating post-surgery?

The medications you're taking for your diabetes can sometimes cause digestive issues like bloating. The Imegemic and Gemer tablets might be playing a role here. In fact, these medications can affect how your body processes food, leading to bloating and stomach discomfort. It's good that you've stopped the other medications, but these ones might still be causing the problem. I would recommend speaking with your endocrinologist about possibly adjusting your diabetes medications to see if that helps ease the bloating and pain.

Why does my finger hurt after using the toilet?

One common cause is a small tear in the skin around the anus, known as a fissure, which can occur from the pressure of passing stools or from the fingerings you mentioned. It could also be related to hemorrhoids or inflammation in the area. To help ease your discomfort, I recommend keeping the area clean and dry, drinking plenty of water, and including fiber-rich foods in your diet to soften stools. If the pain persists, it's important to see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and further guidance.

Why Do My Bones Hurt When I Skip Meals?

Based on your description, it could be related to something called hypoglycemia, which is when your blood sugar drops too low from not eating. When this happens, your body might react with those intense bone and joint pains. In fact, it's important to eat regularly to keep your blood sugar stable. I would recommend seeing a diabetologist for a check-up to rule out any other underlying issues. In the meantime, try to eat small, frequent meals to prevent those episodes.

Why do I feel pain in right breast, ribs, shoulder?

Experiencing pain in your upper right breast, under your ribs, and in your shoulder can sometimes be related to issues like muscle strain, inflammation of the chest wall, or even problems with your gallbladder. In some cases, it could also be due to issues with your heart or lungs, though that's less common. To better understand what's going on, it would be wise to see a cardiologist. They can do a thorough examination, possibly order some tests, and provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Why can't I move my ankle after tibia surgery?

At around 4 weeks post-op, it's quite common to experience some stiffness and difficulty moving the ankle fully. The feeling of pressure and resistance you're noticing could be due to swelling, muscle weakness, or even a bit of scar tissue formation. Nothing to panic about, though! Gentle ankle exercises, regular icing, and following your physical therapy plan can really help improve your ankle mobility. If the issue persists or gets worse, it's a good idea to touch base with your orthopedist for further guidance.

Can I Use Joint Cream with Elliquis?

Elliquis is a blood thinner that helps prevent blood clots, which is super important. Now, when it comes to joint creams with glucosamine and chondroitin, they're generally safe to use with Elliquis because they work differently. Glucosamine and chondroitin are more about supporting joint health. Just make sure your grandma applies the cream as directed, and if she experiences any unusual symptoms, it's best to check in with her orthopedist

How to Reduce Hip Pain in Elderly with Multiple Conditions?

Given her age and existing health conditions, it's important to address her hip discomfort carefully. Encourage gentle movement or physical therapy exercises tailored for osteoporosis to enhance mobility and strength. Additionally, applying heat or cold packs may provide relief. Since she has not received specific treatment for osteoporosis, consider discussing calcium and vitamin D supplements with her if she hasn't been taking them regularly. While I understand her reluctance, an orthopedist can offer targeted advice and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

Can I Dance with Hairline Toe Fracture?

A hairline fracture in your toe can be pretty painful but , it's a common injury, especially in dancers. Dancing puts a lot of pressure on your feet, so it's important to take care of that toe. Before you start dancing, make sure to wear comfortable, supportive shoes and maybe consider taping your toe for extra support. After dancing, remember to rest, ice the toe, elevate it, and maybe take some over-the-counter pain medication if needed. And most importantly, listen to your body. If it hurts too much, it's best to take a break and let it heal properly. If the pain persists or gets worse, it's a good idea to see an orthopedist for further evaluation.
