Orthopedic

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

There’s an urgent need for an expert like an orthopedic surgeon or an oncologist to inspect the tumor on your mother's arm. Not all tumors develop into cancer, so a thorough investigation is necessary to avoid any malignancy. Once it is confirmed that cancer is present, treatment alternatives can be explored.

Dr, In 2014 I had a scooty accident and broke my left hand bone just above my elbow,at that time from the nearest hospital I had the surgery and got treated with metal plates supporting the bone and from then on I couldn't move my hand freely through the elbow. So, now can I here take out metal plate and treat my left hand bone with your help. Hope to get an answer. Thankyou!

Female | 42

If you have metal plates supporting your left hand bone just above your elbow due to a past accident, removing them should be considered carefully. Whether they can be removed depends on factors like how well your bone has healed and your range of motion. Pls consult your orthopedic surgeon if required.

Foot got twist and now its swelling need medicine name

Male | 35

You might have twisted or sprained your foot. Swelling is part of your body's natural selection to help the hurting area. You are likely to reduce the pain and swelling by taking over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen. Do not forget to rest the foot, elevate it, and apply ice. If the pain is increasing or there's no improvement, examine an orthopedist for more information.

A high fever and a sudden swelling in your right leg could be an infection. There are numerous causes of infections such as germs entering your body. It is of course important to take a break, drink fluids, and then use the cold pack on the swollen area. A consultation with an orthopedist allows proper treatment and determining the cause of the disease.

I have tfcc injury about a 1 month which medicine is taken to treat this

Male | 23

Seeing an orthopedist and getting a full diagnosis and a treatment plan is the first thing I would advise you to do for the TFCC injury. The specialist would probably issue a script for painkillers, immobilization, and/or physiotherapy and surgery only if the damage is severe.

For bruising on foot ankle bone do I put something on it as I had a fall two weeks ago and have yellow bruising and swelling

Female | 37

The ankle contusion and the swelling of your ankle socket could be blood vessels rupturing under the skin. Such occurrences often accompany injuries. You can alleviate the swelling by placing your foot in an elevated position, applying a cold pack, and using painkillers that are over the counter to control the pain. Besides staying off the feet, which helps relieve the pain, it's best to allow the feet the healing time they need. If the pain does not resolve or worsens, seek the opinion of an orthopedist.

For a couple of months I've had a sore right leg. Now the pain had progressed and it's making me limp. It's painful at the end of my working day when I walk home. I'm a teacher and I stand and walk a lot.. I think it's my hip. I don't have pain when I'm sitting or lying down.

Female | 73

This is a typical symptom of problems with the hip. Standing or walking for long periods can strain the joint of the hip. You should take short breaks to rest the leg during your workday.

I'm having burning sensation at the back and right leg burning for two weeks its like somebody has put chilly powder on my back May i know what could be the reason and treatment pliz

Male | 43

It appears that you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica can lead to a burning sensation down your right leg and along the lower back region, which feels similar to icy-hot. When the discouraging thing happens, either a slipped disc or tight muscle arrays often irritate the sciatic nerve. Essential things to remember include getting enough sleep and using ice packs or heating pads while doing mild stretches every day until the problem resolves itself. Persistent pains require consulting with an orthopedist for further treatment.

Why do I have such bad knee pain? Everytime I hit my knee or even just rest something on my knee I get a shoot of pain in my knee that won't go away for at least a minute

Female | 20

The condition you describe might be patellar tendinitis. It happens when the tendon connecting your kneecap and shinbone gets inflamed. Overuse like repeatedly hitting your knee can cause this. Resting your knee, icing it, and doing gentle knee-strengthening exercises can help. However, if pain persists, see an orthopedist for evaluation.
