Answered by Dr. Deep Chakraborty

It is common to be concerned about the plate and wire in your elbow after a fracture surgery. They can sometimes make you feel uncomfortable or limit your range of motion. If this is your stage, the best point-to-point conversation with an orthopedist who can examine the health situation is required. Removal of the bone plate and wire may be the dislodging of the most harm there is if the doctor were to intervene and help you attain maximum elasticity in the hand.

was this conversation helpful?

My friend Billie Jo gibbons she has trouble with her feet

Female | 25

Plantar fasciitis is one of the common conditions for this. It can cause pain at the bottom of the feet, particularly in the morning. It is a condition caused when tissue that connects the heel to the toes gets strained. Billie Jo should go for calf stretches and pick supportive shoes. Ice packs are also a good way to shrink the swelling.

For bruising on foot ankle bone do I put something on it as I had a fall two weeks ago and have yellow bruising and swelling

Female | 37

The ankle contusion and the swelling of your ankle socket could be blood vessels rupturing under the skin. Such occurrences often accompany injuries. You can alleviate the swelling by placing your foot in an elevated position, applying a cold pack, and using painkillers that are over the counter to control the pain. Besides staying off the feet, which helps relieve the pain, it's best to allow the feet the healing time they need. If the pain does not resolve or worsens, seek the opinion of an orthopedist.

There is a chance of soft tissue injury resulting in pain, swelling, pressure, and heaviness. I advise to see orthopedist for detailed examination with subsequent treatment plan. You are suggested to elevate and ice the part that is hurting and avoid the activities that worsen the symptoms.

Subchondral sclerosis is when the bone becomes harder. Radiolucent areas are places where the bone isn’t as dense. These changes can cause pain and stiffness in the hip area. They may occur because of natural aging processes and wear and tear on our bodies over time. To relieve these symptoms, try doing exercises or going for physical therapy sessions.

Pectus excavatum is when your chest sinks inward. It happens because of how your ribs and breastbone develop. Although breathing troubles can happen, you said you're okay there, which is good. To keep an eye on things, talking to an orthopedist is wise. They can suggest the best approach for managing your condition.
