After jaw surgery, it’s recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before resuming chewing solid foods. This allows your jaw to heal properly and minimizes the risk of complications. However, recovery times can vary based on individual factors, so it's crucial to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions. For personalized advice, consult your dentist.

After jaw surgery, you will have to wait for a period of time before chewing again. As of the birth of your jaw, it is not uncommon to be without chewing. In general, your doctor will give you the go-ahead to start chewing. If you start out too soon, you might somehow experience comfort or pain.

Giving your jaw some time to heal after jaw surgery is crucial to chewing. Typically, you can start chewing soft foods such as mashed potatoes or soup about six weeks after surgery. Chewing too early can cause you to experience pain and cause your injury to heal slowly. So, be patient and follow your dentist's advice on when you can safely resume chewing.

I am having frozen shoulder for last 4 months there is no pain but the shoulder is stiff cannot move up is there any creme for frozen shoulder relief

Male | 48

This happens when tissues around the shoulder joint get tight. It can make arm movement hard. No pain is good, but the stiffness can bother you. There is no cream just for frozen shoulder relief. But easy stretches and physical therapy can loosen the shoulder over time. It is key to move the shoulder as much as you can without pushing too much. If stiffness remains, get advice from an orthoopedist.

I am 27 years old . During a month I suffered from knee pain and pooping sound coming from there . Even I noticed sounds coming from every joint.

Male | 27

You may be suffering from crepitus, a condition involving joints made from popping or cracking sounds. When the knee or another joint, like the knee, expands, you can hear the sound. This says that sometimes air bubbles may be in the joint space. Or the Cheerios cereal-like cartilage surfaces of our bones are responsible for creating noise.

Tibia and fibila frecture

Male | 29

Tibia and fibula fractures involve broken lower leg bones. Pain, swelling, and inability to move the leg characterize symptoms. Falls or accidents commonly cause these injuries. Treatment involves casts or surgical repair of bones. Ice, rest, and leg elevation help relieve pain and swelling. Recovering full strength and mobility often requires physical therapy.

I am 30 year old man having pain in left leg near calf for 2 months I think I test for colour Doppler

Male | 30

One of the reasons for this might be the improper flow of blood through your leg, but there are a lot of different causes for this at the same time. A color Doppler is a test that can be done, in general, to detect any abnormalities. The most important thing is to visit an orthopedist who will diagnose and treat you properly, so don't take this lightly.

Dear Sir/Madam,I live in Iran.My mother has fallen to the ground, and hurt her hip. Her pain has reduced a lot since more than 2 weeks ago (January 27th), but she still feels pain. She says it's about 8% of the pain she felt 2 weeks ago. What can we do to reduce her pain? She refuses to go to the doctors.She is 70 years old, has severe osteoporosis, blood pressure, mild cardiac arrhythmia, and acid reflux. Famotidine, Amlodipine, Bisoprolol, Chlorediazepoxide. She used to have Calcium supplements. Never had any treatments for Osteoporosis, not that I remember.

Female | 70

Given her age and existing health conditions, it's important to address her hip discomfort carefully. Encourage gentle movement or physical therapy exercises tailored for osteoporosis to enhance mobility and strength. Additionally, applying heat or cold packs may provide relief. Since she has not received specific treatment for osteoporosis, consider discussing calcium and vitamin D supplements with her if she hasn't been taking them regularly. While I understand her reluctance, an orthopedist can offer targeted advice and ensure there are no serious underlying issues.

Male | 18

Most probably the problem you’re having is as a result of a broken elbow at the age of ten years old. This can cause the joint to be deformed hence uncomfortable. You should therefore see an orthopedic surgeon who will examine your situation and give a suitable prescription for treatment. Depending on how serious the deformity, they can propose some physiotherapy exercises or even surgery.

Resting, applying ice to the affected areas, and ensuring proper warm-ups before exercise may help alleviate symptoms. Encourage frequent breaks and gentle stretching.

iam 39 years old I have an lateral meniscus horizontal tear surgery in March 15 2024 and I have two times synovitis problem with in 6 months so I want to know the reason why iam facing synovitis

Male | 39

You have encountered synovitis after your meniscus surgery. Synovitis is the condition where the lining of the joint gets swollen and hurtful. Surgery can cause this because of inflammation or irritation of the joint. Synovitis can be managed with rest, ice, and anti-inflammatory medications which are the best methods. If the issue does not go away, visit your orthopedic specialist for more examination and treatment alternatives.

Female | 39

According to the symptoms you are going through, it is likely that you bruised your knee or your muscles or tendons around it got injured. This might present as a combination of swelling, pain, and immobility of the leg Lie down while putting your feet up, apply a cold compress to the area, stretch your leg, and wrap it with a long elastic bandage to reduce swelling. If the pain persists, replays, or intensifies, or you find it hard to bear its weight, go to the orthopaedist.

I'm 33yrs old ..I'm female.. I have lower back pain from evening today it's mild heavy can't do my work and sit.. My last lmpis nov 7.

Female | 33

So, it seems that you are going through some slight discomfort in the lower part of your back, which can be caused by things like muscle strain, wrong position sitting, or too much psychological pressure. To get rid of your suffering, you can use a warm pad on the affected area, stretching gently, and also correcting your body posture so you sit down correctly. Activities that keep you in motion while serving your comfort limit are also suitable. On the other hand, if the pain persists or even gets worse, I would suggest making an appointment with an orthopedist to identify and exclude any underlying problems.

I am a 17-year-old female. I was recovering quite well from a mild knee ligament stretch from over 2 or 3 months ago. It was not fully recovered, though. Yesterday, I had an awkward fall and twisted my knee. It hurt, but after a couple of minutes, I was able to walk relatively normally. There is pain on the sides of thd knee when I fully straighten my knee or tighten it fully. I can still walk and climb stairs. Currently, I am elevating my knee above hip level. How much and how long should I limit my activities? What should I do? Will my injury heal wrongly? Will my cartilage come back fully?

Female | 17

Pain on the outer side of the knee when straightening or fully extending it could mean a sprain. Be sure to rest your knee, apply ice for 15-20 minutes several times a day, and keep it up above your hip level. Stay away from activities that make the pain worse. If it doesn’t get any better, make sure you get it checked out by an orthopedist so that it can heal properly and there won’t be any long-term issues.

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.
