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.

how can i know that my growth plate are closed or open at home

Male | 18

If you want to know if the bone line of your bone is closed or still open, you can see a doctor and get some exams done on it. Typically, if you have completed your growth spurt and there are differences in your body, it might mean closure. Among the known factors are age, hormone fluctuations, and genetics. Nevertheless, the best way to determine that is a physical examination, for instance, an X-ray that the physician can accurately interpret. If you are worried about the development or growth, I advise you to visit an orthopedist who will give you advice and the comfort of your mind by making an examination plan just for you.

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.

For over a year now I have had something that sicks out at the bottom of my ribcage on the left. It fells like the end of a rib sticking out and hurts when being pushed on. I did lose quite a lot of weight a year and a half ago and it's ever since then that I have noticed it. It is visibly sticking out when I am just standing normally.

Female | 20

You might have costochondritis. This is when the cartilage in your ribs gets inflamed, which usually causes pain and tenderness. It may be related to weight loss and sometimes comes on after an illness. To help relieve the pain, you can do some gentle stretching, use heat packs, or take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen.

Female | 20

Lower back discomfort lasting six months can stem from various factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, or underlying conditions like arthritis. Common symptoms may include stiffness, radiating pain, or difficulty moving. It’s essential to maintain good posture, engage in regular gentle exercises, and apply heat or cold packs to alleviate discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be helpful as well. However, considering the duration of your symptoms, I recommend consulting a orthopedist for a thorough evaluation.

Your knee can get swollen and the image may be affected by injury, arthritis, or inflammation. Pain, stiffness, and heat around the area are common symptoms. Get relief by taking the calf rest, using the ice, and elevating your leg. Over-the-counter painkillers can be useful in shrinking along with other medications.

By contrast, if the swelling persists, exacerbates the problem, or shows also other symptoms then you are recommended to consult an orthopedist.

Female | Piyu

It’s understandable to feel concerned about your posture and discomfort. Changes in posture can sometimes lead to pain and visible bone alignment changes. Conditions like scoliosis or kyphosis may occur, affecting your back and neck. To improve your situation, focus on core strengthening exercises, maintain a good ergonomic posture while sitting, and incorporate regular stretching. A balanced diet supportive of bone health is beneficial too. However, it’s essential to consult a orthopedist for a proper assessment and personalized advice. They can guide you through appropriate exercises and corrective measures tailored to your needs.

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.

I am feeling pain in my toes. When I slept last night, it was not there. But after getting up in the morning, it was there. Is this because of Sugar?

Male | 52

The pain in the toes is very likely to be indirectly connected to sugar levels but not directly. Usual reasons may be a poor choice of shoes or unfavorable body posture during the night. Take necessary measures for correct shoe wear and keep your feet elevated when resting to decrease the chances of getting hurt or sick. The situation that causes the pain may also continue or even become worse with expected changes. In such a case, you should see an orthopedist to isolate the problem.
