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.

When you have an ACL tear, it is because the ligament in your knee is overextended. In addition to resting and doing some light exercises, you should ice your knee. Although PRP or stem cell therapy could be useful for a speedy recovery, consulting with your healthcare provider on these treatments is the best way to determine the optimal care for your case.

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. Be certain to make an appointment with an orthopedistl who can provide an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan for you.

Good morning. I was doing high jump in a school,and my leg ankle removed and got my leg a little short. Can it be resolved be straighten it and make it balanced with the other one

Male | 34

You seem to have dislocated your ankle, which can give your leg a longer impression. Such occurrences are observed when the bones in your ankle are misplaced. To correct this, you should go to an orthopedist who can put the bones back into the right place. A splint or a brace may be used by them to enable your ankle to recover properly. Adhering to their recommendations is critical if you want your leg to be straightened and aligned with your other leg. Rest, elevate your leg, and stay away from putting weight on it until you see a doctor.

Lower back pain.Fenak plus taken.Pl suggest some pain killer as Fenak plus is strong

Male | 67

Tab. Fenak Plus is an anti-inflammatory medication that you have taken for your back pain. Lower back pain can be of two types mechanical (activity-related / mechanical pain) or an inflammatory low back pain seen in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Painkiller tablets will help in both, but what’s important to differentiate is the type of back pain present, which can be done on evaluation of the patients based on their history and physical examination. I would recommend you to visit an Orthopedic doctor near you

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.

Seems to be like you may have vertigo and a little bit of tightness in your back. Vertigo can make you feel like you’re off balance or that things around you are moving. As for the back, it could be from how you’re sleeping or sitting. Try to drink more water and stretch gently right after waking up. If this continues to happen, assess your sleeping position among other factors that may affect your general well-being.
