Patients with COPD represent a high percentage of risk groups, but COPD per say is not a contraindication for any surgery. It all depends on patient's general condition. Once the doctor gives fitness, surgery can be planned. Preoperative check-up of the respiratory system is necessary in order to prevent and avoid complications. The intraoperative care with respiratory and hemodynamic monitoring as well as postoperative care in the ICU will take of everything. Consult an orthopedic surgeon, physician for help.

COPD is not a contra indication for hip surgery. And it requires only spinal anaesthesia.

Need to assess the current status of the Lungs with the help of Plumonologist and with their fitness we can go ahead with surgery.

I have wrist pain at both hands. At the left hand, it is the worst. I feel the pain right at my pinky finger side sometimes and when I supinate my hand, the pain goes to the middle from the ulnar side. At the right hand, here is pain too but its mild compared to the left one. It isn't even noticable when I stretch my right hand.

Male | 17

It sounds like you may be experiencing wrist pain, possibly due to overuse or strain. For your left hand, the pain focused around the pinky finger side could indicate issues with the ulnar nerve. It's important to consult a doctor, preferably an orthopedic specialist, for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. For the mild pain in your right hand, a medical evaluation is recommended to address any underlying causes and prevent further discomfort.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.

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.

Rheumatoid factor arthritis problem

Female | 25

Your immune system protects you, but sometimes it mistakes friend for foe. That's what happens in rheumatoid arthritis—immune cells attack your joints instead of defending them. Mornings can be stiff and painful as joints swell. Medications can ease the pain and slow joint damage, but staying active and eating well are just as important in managing this condition.

I feel like dizzy and stiff back in the early morning. Please suggest a solution for this??

Male | 23

There are many reasons why you might wake up feeling dizzy and with a sore back. It might be that you did not drink enough water before going to bed, or that you slept in an awkward position which caused your back to become stiff. To combat this, try drinking some fluids before falling asleep and refrain from shifting your weight onto alternate sides during the night. Moreover stretching gently upon waking up can help loosen any tight muscles. If none of these solutions work then it would probably be wise to consult a orthopedist.

Want to show my report.. dobe all the reports due to Legs pain

Male | 47

Leg pain can arise from various factors such as muscle strain, joint issues, or circulation problems. Common symptoms include discomfort, swelling, or stiffness. To alleviate these sensations, rest, gentle stretching, and applying ice can be helpful. It's also beneficial to stay active with light exercise. However, if you notice persistent pain, swelling, or changes in mobility, it's essential to consult a orthopedist. They can provide tailored advice and determine if further examination is necessary.

I m suffering from sciatica pain for the last 5 months. No relief after physiotherapy, pain killers and stretching exercises. What to do now?

Female | 73

Sciatica is usually caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve. The result could be sharp pain down the leg. In case physiotherapy, pain medications, and stretching exercises have been ineffective, a change to other treatment methods such as epidural steroid injections, acupuncture, or surgery should be considered. Be sure to bring these treatments up with an orthopedist for the best plan to follow.

I have mild scoliosis is it treatable Is exercise is a good treatment for mild scoliosis

Male | 18

Mild scoliosis is when your spine curves sideways. This twisting condition can cause back discomfort, make one shoulder or hip higher than the other, and make you get tired faster. Exercising helps strengthen spine muscles, improving posture. So focus on stretches and strengthening moves for that curved spine. But remember, regular orthopedist checkups monitor scoliosis progress. They ensure the right steps are taken for your specific curve's treatment.

Does Knee replacement affect your nerves?

Nerve damage may also occur as a result of knee replacement surgery because the peroneal nerve resides close to the tibia bone. In fact, nerve damage is one reason why some patients with knee replacement complain of persistent lateral knee pain and loss of function.

Consult orthopedists, who will explain you in detail about the complications of knee replacement surgery. Hope our answer helps you.

I am suffering from spine tb. And my doctor advised to take medication for one year and it's going to end this month. But my back still pains and before the diagnosis it used to pain intolerablely. So what can be its reasons. Do I have to take more medication and did my situation improve or deteriorate. I just wanted the provable advice for this. Since there are no reports I feel that the suggestion or probability won't be sure.

Female | 21

Spine TB can lead to lasting discomfort due to spinal damage. Your ongoing pain could stem from infection or harm before treatment started. It's crucial to discuss these symptoms with your doctor for potential further evaluation or care. Additional therapy may help alleviate the issue, so don't fret - schedule a follow-up visit soon.

I'm 33yrs old ..I'm female.. I have lower back pain from evening today it's mild heavy can't do my work and sit.. My last lmpis nov 7.

Female | 33

So, it seems that you are going through some slight discomfort in the lower part of your back, which can be caused by things like muscle strain, wrong position sitting, or too much psychological pressure. To get rid of your suffering, you can use a warm pad on the affected area, stretching gently, and also correcting your body posture so you sit down correctly. Activities that keep you in motion while serving your comfort limit are also suitable. On the other hand, if the pain persists or even gets worse, I would suggest making an appointment with an orthopedist to identify and exclude any underlying problems.

Male | 37

The condition you are experiencing could be sciatica. Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve in your leg. This can result in pain and discomfort in the thigh and make it difficult to walk or sit. You can do some gentle stretching exercises, apply cold packs, and rest. If the pain continues, consult an orthopedic specialist.

One week ago I have minor hairline fracture in toe can I continue my dancing cause it's very urgent or advise me some advise to take care of toe before and after dancing

Female | 18

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.
