Answered on 23rd May '24

Occasionally, patients may develop new symptoms or complications following spinal fusion surgery even after a few years. The nature and intensity of symptoms are highly variable in the case of different factors including age, life-style or overall health. It is also advisable to watch for any changes and consult a spine specialist. In this case, the best doctor to visit should be a neurologist or an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in spinal disorders.

I am 18 years old.Suffering from knee pain on right leg left side.i decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kgs.feeling neck pain and spinal cord pain

Female | 18

The knee pain on the outer side might be from some trauma or strain. The hurting of the neck and the spinal cord can be from bad posturing and muscle tension. You need to let that affected region recover, apply ice to the area, and do light stretching with the injured or painful part. Always keep your posture in the right way and make more decisions to reach out to a physiotherapist as a part of your strategy to get better quicker.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road

Female | 22

I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

I have an ingrown toenail on the big toes of my left and right leg, and two on the small toes of the left leg. Four in total. I have three questions regarding the same: 1) Will all four toes be operated on the same day? 2) Will it be done under General Anaesthesia? 3) Can I resume a Work from Home job two days after the surgery?I appreciate your time and response. Thank you.

Male | 24

Each toe should be taken care of in separate appointments to prevent complications. The surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and not general anesthesia. Depending on your pain and comfort levels, you can go back to working from home after 48 hours. Make sure that you follow your doctor's aftercare instructions for a quick recovery.

Male | 16

You suffer from back and leg pain as well as numbness and excess sleepiness. These symptoms can be caused by a nerve block in your lower back which can produce discomfort and strange sensations in your leg. Your doctor has prescribed some medicines to you to aid in managing pain and inflammation. Adhere to them, and take a break from your doctor if there are any changes or concerns.

I am 36 years old and i had got injured two years ago and bone of my foot was cracked and doctors bind it with plate and it was recovered but now a major infection arose in foot that cause redness in my foot and it is spreading toward leg and whole body is swelled and i am feeling pain in my chest

Male | 36

The redness, swelling, and pain spreading from your foot to your leg and chest could mean the infection is getting worse. It may be the case that bacteria attack cells resulting in a serious health condition called sepsis, characterized by the infection invading the body. This requires immediate attention. The treatment of sepsis consists of antibiotics and other medications to maintain the infection under control. To avoid any complications it is necessary to act quickly.
