First reduce the shoulder back to normal position. Give it some rest.

Most of the times the dislocation will be reccurent and shoulder disloactes/subluxates in abduction external rotation position.

MRI will be the ideal investigation to asses labral tear and CT scan will be needed to look at glenoid index

Arthroscopy Bankart repair +/- Remplissage is a very successful procedure and it's a minimally invasive key hole surgery

After jaw surgery when can i chew?

Female | 46

After jaw surgery, it’s recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before resuming chewing solid foods. This allows your jaw to heal properly and minimizes the risk of complications. However, recovery times can vary based on individual factors, so it's crucial to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions. For personalized advice, consult your dentist.

i am 24 years and my bone mineral density score is -2 and vitamin d level is 14

Male | anvesh

It appears you've been diagnosed with low bone density and vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to bone pain, weak muscles, and fractures. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, including dairy products, leafy greens, and sunlight exposure, is crucial for bone health. Your doctor may recommend vitamin D supplements to improve your calcium levels. Additionally, maintaining a nutritious diet and engaging in exercises like running and strength training prescribed by your orthopedic doctor can help maintain bone strength and overall health.

I have a lot of pain in my entire back and in my neck. If I do any work for 10 or 15 minutes, I get a lot of pain. Whenever I go to sleep, as soon as I lie down on the bed, I get pain.

Male | 18

The symptoms you’re experiencing discomfort in your back and neck can often arise from muscle strain, poor posture, or even stress. It’s important to take regular breaks during activities and incorporate gentle stretching to relieve tension. Using a supportive pillow and mattress may also help improve your sleep quality. However, if pain persists or worsens, I strongly recommend seeing an orthopedist for a thorough evaluation. They can provide a tailored treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Hi I'm ABRAR HUSSAIN from Sindh Pakistan I've a disc slipped problem due due to spinal cord Nerve blockage but I already medicaly check up to Neuro surgeon doctor but they advised me for operation but I didn't want to operation can slip disc treatment without surgery

Male | 32

It's tough to consider surgery as an option. A slipped disc can cause nerve blockage, leading to pain and discomfort. But there are many cases of slipped discs can improve with non-surgical treatments. Physical therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle modifications can often help relieve symptoms. It's essential to follow advice of your neurosurgeon while also exploring conservative treatments. Stay in touch with with him for regular check-ups and adjustments to your treatment plan.

If my toe is purple does that mean it's broke

Female | 29

Sometimes a purple toe might indicate that it's broken. Other symptoms of a broken toe include pain, swelling, and failure of the toe to move. A few of the reasons your toe may be hurting is you dropped something heavy on it or hit it hard. To make it easier, rest your toe, apply ice, elevate it, and take pain medicine. If the pain is strong, you should contact an orthopedist.

I’m 50 yrs old and have been suffering with planters fasciitis for years. It started after working at Home Depot. I seen an orthopedic back in 2002 ish, got an injection and was fine. I then left HD and came back yrs later. Now it’s back and I believe I’m also dealing with Achilles tendonitis. My mother who drove a bus for 30 yrs has also dealt with this for a very long time. She can barely walk and I’ve started limping. I don’t want this to slow me down but the doctors here in Wichita Falls are not much help and my mother hasn’t been able to get any relief in California or now in Arizona. My question is is there anything we can do. I have 6 kids, 3 of which are still in school. I can’t just slow down. And I hate seeing how miserably mother is. We are both taking Duloxitine, which helps sometimes. Besides surgery is there anything we can do?

Female | 50

Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis can be quite bothersome, but there are several ways to ease the pain. Try stretching exercises for your calves and feet, wear supportive shoes, use orthotic inserts, apply ice to reduce inflammation, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. It's also important to avoid activities that make the pain worse.

Female | 35

Persistent pain in your right shoulder could be due to various reasons like muscle strain, poor posture, or even a pinched nerve. When the pain worsens and affects your sleep, it's important to get it checked out. In fact, I recommend you see an orthopedist for a proper evaluation. Meanwhile, applying ice packs and avoiding activities that worsen the pain can help.

By looking at your MRI results, and I understand your concern about the pain and limited motion in your shoulder. The report shows some significant findings, like a full-thickness re-tear of your rotator cuff and a dislocated bicep tendon. These issues could be causing your discomfort and restricted movement. Now, what we can do next is discuss treatment options. Surgery might be necessary to address the re-tear and bicep tendon dislocation. Physical therapy could also help improve your shoulder function post-surgery. You have schedule a follow-up with an orthopedist to delve deeper into your treatment plan.

I may have a sprain on my ankle/foot. Here's my signs pain. mild heat and redness. loss of movement and strength around the ankle and foot. difficulty walking or going up or down stairs. tingling, numbness or pins and needles in the affected area.

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.

Male | 35

It’s possible that the high uric acid caused damage to your joint before going down. This can lead to lingering pain. You are doing well by taking a febuxostat and a painkiller. Rest the joint, apply ice, and try gentle exercises to strengthen the area. If the pain continues, see an orthopedist for further advice.

I am24 year old suffering with back pain

Male | 24

It may have been caused by lifting heavy objects and straining your muscles or having a bad posture. Once in a while, this pain is usually associated with problems in the spine or disks. To help relieve the pain, try doing some mild stretching exercises, using hot or cold packs, and avoiding activities that make it worse. If it doesn’t go away or get any better after a while then I think it would be wise if you consulted an orthopedist about it.

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.

I had a question I was eating and accidentally put to much sugar and my back being hurting for the pass 4 days

Male | 17

Eating too many sweet things can make your back hurt. Sugar can make your body inflamed, and that leads to pain in your back. You should eat less sweet foods and drinks. Eat more fruits, veggies, and whole grains instead. Drink lots of water too. Light exercise might also help your back feel better. If you don't feel relieved, contact an orthopedist.
