Before having pins removed from your kneecap, consult your orthopedic surgeon to discuss the procedure and timing. Prepare according to their instructions. The removal is usually done under local anesthesia, involving a small incision to remove the pins. Expect some discomfort and swelling post surgery.

Leg ankle heavy pain and swelling

Female | 25

An injury like a sprain, strain, or inflammation might be the culprit. Resting your leg, keeping it elevated, applying ice, and taking over-the-counter pain meds are crucial steps. If the pain and swelling persist, it's wise to consult an orthopedist.

Is a longer femur or longer tibia better for sprinting speed?

Male | 24

Having a longer femur is better for sprinting speed. The femur is your thigh bone. A longer femur helps power your sprints. However, a longer tibia below your knee strains leg muscles. A longer femur gives you an advantage for sprinting speed. Be sure to train safely and avoid overworking muscles though.

I often have pain at the back of my knee joint when l stand for a long time.How can l get help for this?

Female | 22

Hello

You can try Acupressure for your condition which is No Medicine- No Surgery therapy.

Pain in any area is due to blockages in the meridian.

Acupressure stimulator can help release this blockage.

Slight changes in diet will help to improve your condition quickly.

Cupping is equally useful.

Take care

Hi I'm a 16 yo male and I have poor posture, I used to think that I have minor kyphosis , forward neck , rounded shoulders with scapular winging for which I had consulted a orthopedic doctor he told me to do spine and chest xray, After looking at the xray he told me that my posture is not seen as a deformity and it will cause no problems THE FINDINGS IN MY XRAY REPORT ARE ~Xray report of lumbo sacral spine (ap+lat) • sacralization of lumbar vertebra noted • straightening of lumbar curvature noted • reduced disc space noted between lumbar vertebrae ~Xray report of cervical spine (ap+lat) •Mild straightening of cervical curvature noted •bilateral cervical ribs noted •impression - cervical spondylosis ..........but I think due to my posture I get injuries while heavy workout and few months before I got injured while doing wide arm push up. The injury resulted in pain in shoulders for 3 days and a lower soilder for days until I watched a video on YT how to stretch to fix it.......how ever it was gone and now Im left with uneven collar bones at the chest due to which the mobility is different in both hands. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I got fracture on ankel. it will completed 14days can I walk slowly

Male | 20

Let me suggest that you never move any weight on your ankle until it is completely healed. Even slow walking puts too much pressure on the fracture, and it can still cause more injury.Please follow your doctor's advice

I am 39 years old and have been experiencing back pain for over 2 years. About a year ago, I started feeling pain in my lower back, which eventually subsided, but for the past 3 to 4 months, the pain has returned and now extends to my thigh and leg. When I wake up, the pain improves after some movement. I find it difficult to sleep straight in bed due to lipomas on my side waist that cause discomfort when pressed, resulting in pain. When I get out of bed, my body aches, and my legs feel weak and painful. Occasionally, I take a Nimesulide tablet, which provides relief for 5 to 6 days. Additionally, I experience pain in different parts of my body on different days, such as my chest, arms, and neck. What should I do?

Male | 40

The pain radiating from the lumbar region to the hip and leg is likely to be a sciatica, which is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. Thus it is advisable to wear proper clothes. The lipomas may also be located on your side waist. It is so important to have a thorough evaluation by an orthopedist to establish the exact cause of your symptoms and create a proper management plan.

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.

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.

Why does ac joint hurt?

Here are many things that can happen to the AC joint, but the most common conditions are arthritis, fractures and separations. Arthritis is a condition characterized by loss of cartilage in the joint, which is essentially wear and tear of the smooth cartilage that allows the bones to move smoothly. Like arthritis at other joints in the body, it is characterized by pain and swelling, especially with activity. Over time, the joint can wear out and get larger, with spurs forming around it. These spurs are a sign of the arthritis and not a cause of the pain. Reaching across the body toward the other arm aggravates arthritis at the AC joint. AC joint wear and tear is common in weight lifters, especially among those who bench press and to a lesser extent, military press. In weight lifters the arthritis at the AC joint has a special name — osteolysis.

I've been having knee pains for a few years but never very bad. Last year, I hyperextended my knee and ever since I'll have someday where I almost don't feel any pain, and other days where I feel like it's ready to just give out. Is there any advice on what this could be or how I could treat it?

Male | 15

Persistent knee pain along with hyperextension injury should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. It could be due to ligamentous injury, meniscal tear, or patellofemoral pain syndrome. Some rest and pain medications can provide temporary relief.
