The maximum lengthening achievable is around 8-10 cm for the femur bone and 6-8 cm for the tibia bone. The amount of limb lengthening a person can gain through surgery varies according to the individual's initial height, the type of surgery, desired lengthening etc.

Pain in left knee. Its been a year and more now. Pain inside the knee. It gets worse when I take sprint or bend or play football.

Male | 25

Inner knee pain that worsens after running, bending, or playing football could be due to an injury like a meniscus tear or ligament damage. Try resting, applying ice, and avoiding activities that increase pain. A physical therapist can guide you through exercises to strengthen your knee and relieve pain.

I have severe knee pain when I stand up for too long and I have just noticed there is a large indentation in my knee

Male | 59

You have patellofemoral pain syndrome. This condition causes pain around or under the knee cap, which can spread to the side of the knee. It's often due to overuse, weak muscles, or improper knee-cap positioning. Exercises to strengthen leg muscles and supportive sports shoes can help. A key part of treatment is avoiding activities that worsen the pain.

She fell off on her wrist which causes fracture

Female | 54

If you fall and break your wrist, you may end up with a fracture. In addition to hurting, the occurrence of welling can be felt. It may be difficult to move your wrist as well. The reason for this is that the bone was forced to bear so much weight that the bone practically shattered. The first step to get it to heal is to put it in a cast or a splint so the bone can repair itself gradually. It's important to keep your wrist relatively immobile until it gets well.

Mild pain in left testis and left leg

Male | 23

The pain might come from a varicoce­le, like a varicose ve­in in your testicle. It slows blood flow and causes aching. To he­lp, wear supportive underwe­ar and avoid standing too long. But if pain worsens or you notice swelling or change­s in your testis, see a doctor. This rule­s out serious problems.

I have grinding in my right shoulder (dominant arm) along with accompanying pain at some times. Last year I was playing basketball and after a few weeks of playing some games I developed a pain in said shoulder. I let the pain fade on its own and discovered the grinding (like a bone on bone contact) in my shoulder. I would like to know if it could be serious and if at this point I could do anything about it. I am an athlete and have had tendinitis in my Achilles tendon (ankle) if that helps anything.

Male | 18

Shoulder pain can come­ from shoulder impingement. This me­ans shoulder tendons get pinche­d, resulting in grinding discomfort. Athletes face higher risk due­ to repeated arm motions. Tre­atment options include physical therapy e­xercises to strengthe­n shoulder muscles. Avoid activities worse­ning symptoms. Use ice packs to cut inflammation.

Male | 16

You suffer from back and leg pain as well as numbness and excess sleepiness. These symptoms can be caused by a nerve block in your lower back which can produce discomfort and strange sensations in your leg. Your doctor has prescribed some medicines to you to aid in managing pain and inflammation. Adhere to them, and take a break from your doctor if there are any changes or concerns.

I have back ake at my teenage 14

Female | 14

It’s common to experience back pain in your age group because of several factors. It may be due to rapid growth or carrying a heavy backpack. Some indications for this condition may include tenderness, rigidity, or uneasiness. To solve this problem, don’t carry heavy bags and do exercises that will tighten your muscles. Also, be mindful of how you sit or stand. If the discomfort persists then it would be wise to inform an adult about it.
