Can total immobility post hip joint removal be improved?
had a fall resulting in fractured femur - hospitalised and eventually discharged home - able to mobilise with frame. A second fall resulted in damage to replaced hip joint. Emergency surgery followed by infection in joint and removal of hip on one side. Months in hospital - no improvement with physio. Now in care home, totally immobile - on morphine for pain relief. No muscle tone in legs which are permanently bent to the side up to buttocks. Is there any possible remedy?

Living with no muscle tone and leg bent all the time during the day after the hip surgery can be difficult. Now it is more important to stay actively involved with an orthopedist. They offer detailed treatments and therapies that aim to minimize pain and improve mobility.

I’m 15 and was diagnosed with soft tissue damage at the top of my right foot going into my ankle. It started in November 2023. It’s gotten worse.
Female | 15
You have hurt the soft parts in your right foot near the ankle. This could have happened by doing too much, a sports injury or even twisting it. Pain, swelling, and hard to move the foot are some common signs. Make sure you rest the foot, put ice on it and keep it up so that it does not swell. You can also try stretching it gently and taking pain relief medicine. If the pain does not improve, talk to an orthopedist about what else you should do.

Had an MRI and was told "There is mild chondral thinning, joint space narrowing involving the fourth and fifth TMT joints with some subtle subarticular bony oedema both sides of the fourth TMT joint." This is after 5 months of having an injury, I feel a lot of swelling in my extensor digitorium brevis (oedema) in my right foot, but this week I started feeling the same feelings in my left foot, I need some guidance or help please because it's difficult to do physical activity with and it's swelling whenever at rest.
Male | 21
The MRI results closest show some mild desquamation of the joints, which may cause swelling and pain. The swelling in your extensor digitorum brevis muscle could be possibly related to the joint issues. Avoid these movements at first, put ice on them, and try stretches that don't need a lot of force. Besides that, you might notice a difference if you wear supportive shoes.

I have knee issues and wanted to know when I want to go to bed if wearing diapers is a good idea or not
Male | 31
At night, it can be difficult to get to the bathroom due to knee pain, making it hard to get up, and accidents might happen. However, this is not a solution for the knee condition itself, but it can help manage the issue until the knee improves. Always consult your doctor to find the best treatment option for your knee problems.

Female | 22
The condition of the plates can be checked for the possibility of removal between 6 and 12 months after the operation, if there is no pain, swelling, or mobility issues. It is very important to consult an orthopedist and tell about any symptoms that do not go away, and the doctor will be able to make a diagnosis by imaging and a physical examination. They will be able to provide you with guidance and make sure that you make a safe decision regarding your leg.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be brought on by a pregnant woman's palms and fingers. The nerve in the wrist is squashed, which is how carpal tunnel syndrome occurs. The high volume of swelling is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnancy. To treat the problem, you can hold your hand above your head, do hand exercises, or even consider wearing the splint while walking at night. It gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

Why do I have a bony lump on top of my left shoulder?
Female | 30
That bony lump is likely an "acromial spur." It happens from wear and tear on your shoulder joint. You might feel pain when moving your arm or raising it up high. To help with discomfort, try gentle shoulder exercises. Also, apply ice to reduce swelling. If the pain continues, see a physiotherapist for guidance. They can advise on ways to manage the condition.

A sprain occurs when the ligaments around your joints are stretched or damaged. This can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the injured affected part among others. To help with a sprain, it's important to rest, ice the injured area, compress it with a bandage, and elevate your foot. In case If the pain doesn't go away, be sure to see an orthopedist for medical advice.

I am 33 years old male and have some shawaling (सूजन) problem in my left knee Last night, I have used pain relief ointment cream.But no any relief . what should I do now.
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.
