Can't Bend Knee After Fractured Patella, Is It Normal?

I fractured my patella on 7/9/24, and was crap bandge for a week, and I had cast plaster from 15/9/24, plaster was removed on 14/10/24, knee is still swollen, can't bend knee, can't lift leg up, had x-ray, crack is still visible. The doctor said that the bone that is formed now cannot be seen on xray, after three months xray will not show the cracks.

You have a fractured patella. Common symptoms include swelling and difficulty bending or lifting your leg. A visible fracture line on the X-ray means the bone is still healing. Over time, the bone will become stronger, and the cracks will disappear. Continue resting your knee, doing gentle exercises, and consult your orthopedist for guidance. The healing process takes time, but you will recover.

I started having muscle pain/ache in my outer right hip area a day after I changed my everyday footwear a week ago. Pain is dull and bearable but irritating. It usually starts when walking and tends to go away slowly when sitting in a relaxed sitting position. Sometimes it also starts when sleeping. I'm not taking any medication of any kind. I'm underweight due to my lifestyle and eating habits.

Male | 24

It seems that you have muscle pain on the outside right hip region. This pain could have been caused by changing shoes. Muscles can ache if they are tense or strained. In addition, if you are too thin, your muscles may easily get tired. Put on supportive footwear, stretch gently and take a good diet so that your muscles can heal. Also, make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the ache.

I had unprotected sex.. now iam facing joint pain what should I do??

Male | 24

Joint pain after unprote­cted sex is concerning. It could signal a se­xually transmitted infection (STI). Common symptoms include discomfort, swe­lling, and stiffness in the joints. Getting te­sted for STIs is crucial to identify any potential infe­ctions. Moving forward, practice safe sex consiste­ntly.

I was about going to sleep at night when I started feeling some twitching around my eyes coupled with some electric-like shocks on my face. When I slept and woke up, I discovered it had increased. My face looked swollen, and my mouth was somehow tight. I couldn't whistle with it or shape it any way I wanted to. I couldn't open it wide. I couldn't close my eyes without pain and It was blinking even when I closed it and it was like a stress to my nose when I closed one of the eye or both. All of these relieved me in two days time. And my eyes could close better without pressure and my mouth functions was back to normal. But after some days I discovered that my posture has changed and my left hip bone is tight. My left leg has some rotation making it look like it's tight. My glute seems tight and my left hip look like it's forward, making my Left leg to appear longer and my walking posture to change. I can run, I can shoot with my both legs. Just that I'm having tighness in my left hip or pelvis. This has made me to walk in a different manner. Pls what can I do?

i walked too much today and i have pain in my foot joint now

Male | 21

Pain in the foot joints after walking a lot is quite common. The joints might be sore from the pressure and movement. To ease the pain, rest your foot, apply ice, and gently stretch your foot and calf muscles. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes and avoid walking long distances for now.
