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 have back pain which effects my legs I have numbness in legs due to it and can't walk properly and I can't bend or sit down. The reason is I was inactive for a whole year I used to stay in bed for the whole year

Female | 16

Your INACTIVITY caused muscle weakness, leading to lower back pain.. The pain could now be radiating down your legs as numbness. The numbness in your legs could be due to nerve damage. You need to consult a DOCTOR who will assess your condition and advise you accordingly....

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.
