Introduction

The limb lengthening surgery cost in India ranges from INR 150,000 to INR 850,000 (approximately $1,897 to $10,742).

Limb lengthening surgery leverages the body's ability to regenerate new bone and other tissues, including blood vessels, ligaments, and nerves. The procedure involves cutting the bone to be lengthened and stabilizing it with an external fixator. A titanium rod is inserted, gradually growing and stretching inside the body, allowing you to gain a few inches in height. This surgery is becoming increasingly popular in India.

In this blog, we have covered everything about the cost. Understanding these costs helps with financial planning and ensures you are well-prepared for the procedure. Read the detailed blog to learn more about India's limb-lengthening surgery costs.

I am a 70 year old male and have been having pain in both my shoulders and knees for the last 6 months. I have used medicines and pain reliever ointment cream for few days but there is no relief. What should I do now?

Male | 70

Joint pain like this could be due to osteoarthritis, which is common in older people. As we age, the cartilage in our joints wears down, leading to discomfort. It's important to stay active to maintain flexibility and strength but avoid activities that make the pain worse. Gentle exercises like walking or swimming can help. Physical therapy can also teach you specific exercises to strengthen the muscles around your joints and improve mobility. Over-the-counter pain relievers might provide relief, but it's essential to consult with an orthopedist before starting any new medication.

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.

My coler bane look like block

Male | 42

It looks like you have some abrupt discomfort in your collarbone area. Perhaps you have strained muscles, an injury, or you have a wrong posture. Common symptoms are feeling painful, swollen, or restricted movement. To handle this discomfort, give a trial to the cold pack applied to the affected area and take a rest. Also doing gentle stretching may be useful. Still, after symptoms do not go away or they even become more serious, you should consult an orthopedist.

I am a 16 year old male. Currently sick with Covid, had fever for three days, now all good, however still positive. Today out of nowhere I started to feel some heel pain when walking, on my outside right heel. And I noticed it was mainly when taking my foot off the ground. I did some tests and found out it was only when lifting my foot off a hard surface, but not a cushioned surface, that actually helped ease the pain. Now about 10 hours later, it's a constant pain that only temporarily eases if I push my foot really hard on a cushioned surface. It's a sharp pain. I had heel problems 6-7 years ago, tendinitis, completely different pain. And nothing since then. I tried Arnica, and Moment Ibuprofen about 50 minutes ago and nothing has helped.

Male | 16

Sharp pain in the heel should be treated by visiting an orthopedic specialist. This pain may result from different conditions, including plantar fasciitis Achilles tendonits stress fractures. Although OTC pain relievers may provide short-term relief, it is always advisable to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Regarding some medicine .... I m having osteoarthritis

Female | 49

Osteoarthritis is a condition that can cause pain and stiffness in your joints. The tissues that cushion your joints wear away, leading to this problem. Sometimes it may be due to old age, an injury, or obesity. You can do low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming to relieve the pain. Alternatively, apply ice packs or use heating pads on the affected area. Furthermore, purchasing footwear with proper arch support may also alleviate discomfort.

Female | 22

As you described, the sharp hip pain you get during the winter months and the redness and lines outside the vagina might be due to a condition called vulvar dermatitis. This can be painful but it is not the cause of pain inside the vagina or during urination. The drops after urination could be the muscle around the bladder causing it. To alleviate the discomfort, gentle washing and wearing cotton underwear may help. If the symptoms persist, an orthopedist can provide further guidance.

Female | 23

You may feel a “pins and needles” sensation in your back when a nerve is compressed in the neck, shoulders, or upper back. Common causes include poor posture, muscle strain, and pinched nerves. To help, try gentle stretching, maintain good posture, and apply a warm or cold pack. If the discomfort persists, consider consulting an orthopedist.

The secretion of spiders is a common phenomenon due to their venom. Ice packs may be used on the injured area to alleviate the swelling. You should keep your hand at a high level. It is necessary to wash the bite area with soap and water to avoid a potential infection. In cases where the swelling continues to grow or other symptoms appear, visit a dermatologist immediately.

Hi, I'm taking 1.5ml of Testosterone Ethanate 300mg/ml once per week but I'm due to get a cortisone injection in my hand for trigger finger in 2 weeks time. Will this be ok to have whilst I'm taking this?

Male | 40

Testosterone Ethanate (T.E.) is a hormone, while cortisone is a medication used to reduce inflammation. Getting a cortisone injection for the trigger finger shouldn't be an issue while on T.E., as they work differently in the body. However, always inform your orthopedist about all medications you're taking. Trigger finger occurs due to tendon inflammation, causing fingers to get stuck in a bent position. A corticosteroid injection can reduce the inflammation and relieve symptoms.

Male | 25

Usually, a physician will watch and wait before deciding whether or not to operate on you. A depressed frontal bone fracture can heal itself if no problems are being caused by it. It is good that you have no side effects. Just do as the doctor says, keep on taking your medicines and don't miss any appointment for check up. In case there is any change let me know or if things get worse consult with an orthopedist as soon as possible.

Based on your reports, it seems like you have a condition called disc desiccation at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a disc bulge and nerve compression, leading to your sciatica symptoms. This can be quite painful, I know. Now, what we can do to help you feel better is to focus on pain management and physical therapy. Additionally, we may consider injections or even surgical options if conservative measures don't provide relief. It's important to stay active but avoid activities that worsen your pain.

Head to shoulder nerves pain

Your head and shoulders seem to hurt. Muscle tension, bad posture, or stress can make this happen. It might also be nerve issues in that area. To ease the pain, try gentle neck stretches. Sit and stand up straight. Use a heating pad on the sore spot. But if it won't go away, see an orthopedist for help.

Hi I broke my finger in turkey and the doctor said that I might have a surgery can you please check my x ray if my finger is that bad do I have to be operated

Male | 16

Signs of a broken finger include swelling, pain, and difficulty when trying to move the finger. Sometimes, such injuries could be the result of a few falls or sports accidents. A surgery could be necessary if the fractured part is displaced or includes a joint. My preference goes to you getting in contact with a specialist after the X-ray to be able to talk throughout treatments. Rather than going for more complex therapies, you can use a cast that your local medical facility can get you as of now, to stabilize the area till you go and see an orthopedist.

I am 25 years old and from few days I am feeling like my hand is getting swollen when I wash utensils and it gets numb and feels like my hand is soaking water

Female | 25

It seems you may have the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. This occurs when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, making your hand swell and become numb. Washing up may be aggravating it. When you feel like this, you should try to take regular breaks while doing tasks. You could also use a wrist splint to help keep your hand in a better position. If these steps don’t relieve the problem, then it would be a good idea to talk to a orthopedist for more advice.

These symptoms can be caused by different underlying problems such as infections, inflammation, or fatigue. It's really important to prioritize bearing, making sure to stay hydrated, and using over-the-counter painkillers if the pain is too strong. Nevertheless, since your symptoms are very persistent, I strongly suggest you get an orthopedist's advice and an extensive assessment of it.
