It helps to restore function of the damaged knee and relieve arthritis pain. Knee replacement surgery is advised if the pain is interfering with your daily activities and negatively affecting your quality of life. Types of knee replacement surgery Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement - When both knees are replaced at the same time. The primary advantage of a procedure is that there is only one hospital stay and one rehabilitation period to heal both knees. But rehabilitation may be slower. Also these patients may need assistance at home also. Generalized fitness is important here. Staged bilateral knee replacement- Each knee is replaced at a different time. These surgeries are done a few months apart. This staged approach helps one knee to recover before the second surgery. The main advantage of a this procedure is the reduced risk of complications and also requires a shorter hospital stay.

It's great that you've dedicated so many years to your work, but if you're experiencing health issues, it's important not to ignore them. Given your long-term involvement in food service, you may be prone to conditions related to prolonged standing, repetitive movements, or stress. Visit an internal orthopedist or a general physician who can evaluate your concerns and guide you on the next steps.

ACL refers to the Anterior Cruciate Ligament, a common injury in the knee. The symptoms are pain, swelling, and the inability to move the knee. The main reason is mostly sports injuries or accidents. As medicines and phototherapy were not useful, go to an orthopedic specialist for more tests. Other treatments like physical therapy or surgery might also be necessary.

Hi, I am 14 years old and I have had pain in my knee for months now and I am a gymnast and sometimes when I land there is a shot of pain that goes straight through my kneecap and it feels like it just breaks and then it will hurt for about 5 minutes and then I will be fine. I can’t lunge or squat without it hurting and we have tried a lot of things but nothing is working. Thanks!

Female | 14

Your knee pain could be due to ligament sprains or tears, tendonitis or a meniscal tear.. Its common cause of knee pain in young athletes often caused by overuse or repeated stress on the knee joint. It can cause pain around the kneecap that worsens with activities like jumping or squatting. Contact a specialist to get it checked thoruoghly. You need to rest your knee to avoid pain and activities that aggravate your symptoms. Try using ice packs or a cold compress for 10-15 minutes to help reduce pain and swelling.

Male | 20

It sounds like there might be a sore muscle in your spine between your shoulder blades. It can result from overexertion or bad posture. The symptoms are pain when you stretch or bend your neck. To help, try mild stretching, use a heating pad, and take the prescribed pain relievers. In case the pain remains or the situation gets worse, consult an orthopedist who will examine you further.

Last week I fell and hit my knee. It is bruised and swollen. There are no breaks or cracks in the area. Today the bruise on my knee is starting to fade but the swelling is hard. Her legs can walk as usual, but sometimes it hurts, she can't straighten and feel pressured in the swollen part. Because the swelling is hot and hard. Kdng2 is tired and throbbing. When she wants to straighten her legs, she will crack her knees and feel heavy. When I sit down he is depressed in his knees. Is it dangerous or is it normal to get hit?

Female | 20

If you are experiencing a hematoma, where blood pools and forms a lump underneath the skin. The swelling, hardness, and discomfort are general signs. It is common to sense these sensations while your body is healing. An ice pack, leg elevation, and painkillers can be used to provide relief. If the pain increases or if there is difficulty moving the knee, an orthopedist should be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello doctor I am currently on fluoxetine 40mg since last 2 years Yesterday i had a small accident and my hand is aching a lot My physician has prescribed 50mg tramadol But i have read on google that tramadol and fluoxetine cannot be taken together Please help what to do??

Male | 25

Although fluoxetine and tramadol are both related to chemical levels in the brain, it is still not safe to mix them. In other words, their simultaneous consumption can intensify the likelihood of serotonin syndrome, a critical ailment that manifests symptoms such as confusion, sweating, and fast heartbeat. The best course of action would be for your physician to advise you on alternative pain relief options that are safe for you.

I have been experiencing a persistent back pain in the middle section at the left side only. I used to feel it temporarily now it is chronic. No pain can be felt on the surface, but pain is still felt internally. What is wrong with me?

Female | 18

This kind of hurt usually means that there is a damaged muscle or even possibly a slipped disc. These can cause long-term problems with hurting all the time. The main things you can do to help yourself are to rest a lot, put something cold or warm on it, and maybe try easy exercises to make your muscles stronger in that area behind you. If you don’t feel better after doing these things for some days then go and see an orthopedist.

Low back pain down to both legs

Male | 36

Sciatica causes your back nerve to feel squeezed. This makes both legs hurt, tingle, or go numb. You can try resting, using ice packs or heating pads, and gentle stretches. But don't wait too long - if leg pains remain, you should see an orthopedist. Further exams and treatments may be needed to address this common back problem.

If you're experiencing pain on the inside of your legs that worsens with pressure, it could be due to muscle strain, adductor tendinitis, groin hernia, or nerve impingement. It would be best to consult with a healthcare professional for an evaluation, diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
