Will all ingrown toenails be operated at once?
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.

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.

I am 40 years old male and been complaining from back pain for about almost 20 years in the past years as I’m getting older. It’s been getting worse now I am kind of walking differently and my back is a little bent with a back hump, I did an MRI and I had C4 C5 C6 t1 t2 and L5 S1 mentioned some abnormality in their function. My question is will this be cured through surgery or even give me a better chance living a better life if I do the surgery because back surgery really does scare me a lot.

Your back pain could be due to herniated discs or spinal stenosis. If it is, you might have trouble walking or your posture could change. Having surgery might help take the pressure off of the nerves and make the symptoms better. Surgery can often help improve your quality of life, but it's important to consult an orthopedic surgeon or a spine specialist. They will guide you on the best treatment options and help address your concerns about surgery.

L4&L5 spine operation totally amount
Female | 58
You are referring to an operation on the L4 and L5 spine. These two areas are a part of your lower back. Sometimes people might need an operation there if they have severe back pain, weakness in the legs, or numbness. This is usually the cause of the herniated disc which presses on the nerves in the spine. The operation can help relieve the pressure on the nerves and thus, reduce the pain and other symptoms. It's good to discuss with a spine surgeon if this operation is the right choice for you.

I am 28 years old male and I have only right side lower back pain for more than one week
Male | 28
The possible cause could be straining the muscles or having a bad posture due to sitting in one position for too long. Furthermore, back pain may also be an indication of kidney problems. To alleviate your condition drink plenty of water and refrain from engaging in strenuous activities. Another way is applying heat pads as well as doing some gentle stretches. However, if the situation persists seeking medical attention from an orthopedist is important for diagnosis and treatment planning.

The symptoms you've described, such as strong pain, cracking sounds, and limited movement in your shoulder, could be attributed to various causes like a frozen shoulder, shoulder impingement, arthritis, or other conditions.

My knees keep popping every tine I move it I am afraid
Male | 43
If your knees keep popping every time you move them, it could be due to ligament issues, arthritis, or even a simple gas buildup in the joint. It's best to visit an orthopedic doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Ignoring it might lead to more complications, so please consult a specialist soon.

Why does my achilles tendon hurt after running?
Achilles tendinitis is caused by repetitive or intense strain on the Achilles tendon, the band of tissue that connects your calf muscles to your heel bone. This tendon is used when you walk, run, jump or push up on your toes.
The structure of the Achilles tendon weakens with age, which can make it more susceptible to injury — particularly in people who may participate in sports only on the weekends or who have suddenly increased the intensity of their running programs.

If you've had sudden back pain and have been taking pain medication, it might be best to consult a doctor before going to a water theme park. Certain activities there could worsen your back pain. If you decide to go, opt for gentler attractions and listen to your body to avoid discomfort.

Have back pain issue. Is stem cell therapy can treat the back pain issue
Female | 78
Back pain could be due to bad posture, lifting heavy weights, or old injuries. Stem cell therapy is a treatment that makes use of the body's own cells to repair damaged tissues. It is like your body being assisted to recover. Some people have experienced the help of this therapy along with the research it is still undergoing. This is a matter that should be discussed with an orthopedist.

How can i prevent degenerative disc disease from getting worse
Prevention of worsening of degenerative disc disease is by decreasing the stress on the degenerated discs. Weight loss and avoidance of weight lifting and high impact activities decrease the stress and pain.

Why is that my waist right side is paining me that I even find it difficult to walk and I can't even stand straight but when I touch my waist I can't feel any pain but I'm rather feeling It inside me making it difficult for me to walk and I can't even stand straight
Male | 20
You may be having muscle pain on your right side. This can happen when you use your muscles too much or twist them in that part of your body. Even though it's not painful to the touch, the discomfort in your body is causing you to walk awkwardly and to stand upright. Resting, applying ice, and gentle stretching will help lessen the pain. If it doesn't improve, it's best to get the advice of a orthopedist.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be brought on by a pregnant woman's palms and fingers. The nerve in the wrist is squashed, which is how carpal tunnel syndrome occurs. The high volume of swelling is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome in pregnancy. To treat the problem, you can hold your hand above your head, do hand exercises, or even consider wearing the splint while walking at night. It gets worse, visit an orthopedist.

i’m 21 years old and about a week or two ago i started having wrist pains and whenever i tried to sit up (i push myself up to sit up with my hands like a 90° angle) and it was to the point i couldn’t put ANY type of pressure on it. i don’t have a wrist splint but i’ve used those stretching, skin colored wrapping bandages which have helped a bit so i can definitely sit up way easier but now the pain is mostly just at the top of the wrist when i actually bend it more forward than i usually would when my hands are like a 90° angle when i sit up. i’m assuming it’s carpal tunnel but i don’t have insurance nor money to pay to go to a doctors office/urgent care :/

You're sensing friction in your wrist probably because of wear and tear. Carpal tunnel syndrome mainly causes numbness and tingling of the fingers but not just pain in the wrist. Repetitive movements and/or bad wrist positioning can cause this type of discomfort. To help, give your wrists some time out, avoid the stuff that makes the pain worse, and wear wrist support if needed. If the pain doesn't go away or gets worse, go to an orthopedist.

What is the duration of pain inflicted after hip replacement surgery? Which medicines are prescribed to ease the pain?
Many patients have excellent pain control within 4 to 6 weeks following surgery. But the sensitivity of pain differs from patient to patient; hence the pain control duration may differ from patient to patient. There are many types of medication available to ease pain of a patient post surgery. But the selection of medication is a complex process, where many factors are considered before choosing a medication. Consult an orthopedic surgeon. Hope our answer helps you.
