The symptoms you have explained, such as the inability to walk and numbness of the hand following delivery, are indicative of obstetric brachial plexopathy. This is a condition that occurs when the nerves around your shoulder are injured during the birthing process. Physical therapy can enhance your muscle power and flexibility. Physical therapists can give the right evaluation and the measures that work for them. I recommend consulting a physical therapist for further advice.

Surgery is typically necessary for a 1.6mm gap in scraped BONE, as a POP alone is usually not enough for complete healing...

A pinched ne­rve might cause your pain. Pressure­ on nerves from surrounding parts can cause this. Symptoms include­ hurt from neck down arm. You may feel discomfort e­lsewhere like­ leg or chest too. To fee­l better, rest, stre­tch gently, and maybe get physical the­rapy.

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.

My son has had a snowmobile accident that removed his bicep and the other small muscle on the front of his dominant hand. The ulnar and radial nerve are functional after the initial surgery. He is in the anchorage hospital. But wants the best care and treatment to gain as much use back from his arm as possible. Would he benefit from being moved to a level 1 trauma center from where he is at. Also he wants as rapid of treatment in the healing as possible.

Male | 39

The­ functioning nerves following the proce­dure are promising. Relocating him to a trauma facility could bene­fit recovery, as they focus on tre­ating severe injurie­s. Immediate care is crucial for optimal he­aling. The trauma center offe­rs specialized treatme­nt, therapies, and resource­s for the best possible outcome­.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is frequently assumed to be a source of lower back and/or leg discomfort, however it is sometimes difficult to diagnose. The sacroiliac joint, which connects the triangle bone at the bottom of the spine (the sacrum) to the pelvis, can cause discomfort if its natural mobility is disrupted. More precisely, sacroiliac joint discomfort can be caused by excessive or insufficient movement.

• Leg pain produced by sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be difficult to distinguish from radiating leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (sciatica) since they can feel quite similar.

• The major reasons of SI joint dysfunction include - Too much or lack of movement.

• Too much movement in the sacroiliac joint (hypermobility or instability) can cause the pelvis to feel unstable and produce discomfort. Excessive mobility causes pain in the lower back and/or hip, which can extend into the groin, whereas lack of movement (hypomobility or fixation) can result in muscular tension, discomfort, and a reduction in mobility.

• Sacroiliac joint inflammation (sacroiliitis) can also cause pelvic discomfort and stiffness. Inflammation may arise as a result of sacroiliac joint dysfunction or as a result of an infection, rheumatoid disease, or other cause.

• There is no one-size-fits-all solution for controlling SI joint discomfort. For successful pain management, a combination of non-surgical therapies is frequently required.

• Treatment includes – resting for 1 to 2 days, applying ice or heat (applying it to lower back reduces inflammation and alleviates pain and discomfort; applying around the joint provides relief from pain), pain relievers like paracetamol and inflammation treating agents such as NSAID’s are recommended in case of mild or moderate pain relief. Muscle relaxants or high-end pain killers can be prescribed in case of episodes of severe and acute pain, Manual manipulation can be effective if sacroiliac joint pain is caused due to too little movement, Support or braces can be used to stabilize the pelvic area and sacroiliac joint injections such as anaesthetics such as lidocaine along with anti-inflammatory medicine like corticosteroids are given to reduce inflammation and pain.

Consult an Orthopedics for further investigations and customised treatment.

I think I broke my ankle/ foot in my rugby game today

Female | 15

A possible foot or ankle­ injury during rugby is concerning. Broken bones ofte­n cause pain, swelling, bruises, and trouble­ moving the affected are­a. If suspecting a break, rest it and apply ice­, avoiding weight on that limb. Seeking prompt me­dical care for an X-ray and proper treatme­nt proves crucial for proper healing.
