Introduction

During limb lengthening surgery, the doctor cuts through the bone to be lengthened and inserts an external fixator to stabilize it. This procedure relies on the body's natural ability to grow new bones, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and soft tissues. A titanium rod is inserted, gradually increasing and stretching as it is absorbed into the body, resulting in a few extra inches of height.

I am 18 years old .I decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kg. I am suffering one side of knee pain in right leg. And there is a pain for one day from neck and spinal cord

Female | 18

The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

I have severe knee pain when I stand up for too long and I have just noticed there is a large indentation in my knee

Male | 59

You have patellofemoral pain syndrome. This condition causes pain around or under the knee cap, which can spread to the side of the knee. It's often due to overuse, weak muscles, or improper knee-cap positioning. Exercises to strengthen leg muscles and supportive sports shoes can help. A key part of treatment is avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

Conclusion: Hypointense fracture of the metaphysis of the tibia proximally with stress edema of the bone. Moderate suprapatellar and minor intra-articular effusion. Irritation of suprapatellar fat. ACL femoral condyle distension. Possible partial rupture of the anterior root of the lateral meniscus. Distension of the proximal tibiofibular joint.

Female | 27

After going through your tests, it looks like the shinbone is fractured near the joint with a gradually progressive fracture inside the bone. Besides, there is liquid in the knee with some tension in the fat pad over the patella. The anterior ligament of the knee may be strained and the meniscus, a disc in the knee, may have a minor tear. The bones are separated, namely the shinbone, and the smaller leg bones are stretched. This will bring about pain, swelling, and at times impaired mobility of the knee. Resting, elevating the lower limb, using ice, and probably a brace could be an excellent start for a cure. In some situations, physiotherapy or surgery might be required for the knee to become stronger and better. You mustn't put any weight on the leg with the problem no matter what until an orthopedist advises the opposite.

Female | 21

You may have a muscle strain or herniation in the lumbar region of the spine. My advice would be that you have to opt for an orthopedic specialist or a neurosurgeon for a final diagnosis. The doctor can suggest an imaging test such as an MRI or CT scan.

Foot bone surgery is difficult. Sinks and screws are important. X-rays are also important after surgery. If you have pain, swelling, or limited movement, see your orthopedist. Go for regular check-ups to get better.

I am 19 years old, female. I have been suffering from a clicking sound on my right side jaw for last 5 days. And also I am having problem to open my mouth widely. Is this tmj problem? And what should I do now? Please help sir

Female | 19

You may be having problems with your TMJ, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The clicking sound and difficulty opening your mouth could be due to inflammation or muscle tension in that area. It's important to rest your jaw, avoid chewing gum, and stick to soft foods. Putting packs of ice and simply rubbing the area could be a solution. If the symptoms persist, consider seeing a dentist or an orthopedist for further evaluation.

I have a feeling that you might have a dislocated shoulder with shoulder instability. However, the fact that your pain is gone is only one of the things to worry about as the slipping of your shoulder back and forth is also alarming. You should see an orthopedic surgeon.

Male | 21

You may have some problems with your neck, such as strained muscles. The cracking noise could be coming from your joints. If you sit with your head bent down for a long time or do not move around much this can happen. It’s important to gently stretch and move your neck. You may want to do some exercises that will make the muscles in your neck stronger too. If the pain doesn’t stop, it would be best for you to see an orthopedist who can give more advice on what's going wrong.

Male | 73

When you mention muscle issues and difficulty gripping with your right hand, it suggests some weakness. This could be due to a lack of vitamins, such as vitamin B12. You can get this vitamin from foods like fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. It’s a good idea to talk to an orthopedist about your problem for better guidance.

Female | 17

Your left leg and hip may be bothering you. Pain in both of those places could be caused by something such as sciatica, which is a nerve problem. Another reason might be muscle strain or arthritis. You should rest the area that hurts, put some ice on it, and if it’s bearable, gently stretch. If this doesn’t help, you should see an orthopedist.

Leg stiffness when walking despite improved eating habits, and exercise, could be due to worsened inflammation, muscle tightness, nerve irritation, or joint problems. I would advice you to consult with a orthopedic professional for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment for you..
