Will my 8-year-old need scoliosis surgery for 63°?
My 8 year old daughter recently got diagnosed with a 63 degree thoracic dextro curvature (scoliosis). Will she have to have surgery?
Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 6th Sept '24
A 63-degree thoracic dextro curve in an 8-year-old is hardly a short one. Your daughter may need surgery at some point, but careful watching is essential. Sometimes, bracing or physical therapy can help. Surgery is usually the last option considered for severe curves or if the curve is worsening rapidly. Hence, let us monitor it and collaborate with the doctors to come up with the best plan.

How i cured my degenerative disc disease
Female | 36
Degenerative disc disease is a common age related low back problem. It can be a significant cause of low back pain. The best treatment for it is non-operative. Back strengthening to stabilize the spine and application of topical pain measures should be tried first.

My legs give out. Sometimes I can't even get up when they get out.
Male | 14
Your legs may feel weak. There are many possible reasons for this, including lack of exercise, poor diet and nutrition, or low levels of certain vitamins. Try eating well-balanced meals each day and getting regular physical activity. Additionally, don’t forget to drink plenty of water. If these suggestions do not help, then it would be wise to consult with an orthopedist so that potential underlying causes can be eliminated.

Female | 36
Back pain radiating to your stomach could indicate a kidney infection or stone. Fever, sickness, and persistent discomfort unrelieved by medication often accompany these conditions. Prompt medical evaluation is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, such as antibiotics or procedures to remove kidney stones, if present. Seeking timely care from an orthopedist is essential.

Suffering from spine pain since 2 years.
Female | 45
Incorrect posture, injuries, and medical conditions can cause back pain. This might make it hard for you to move and make you sore or stiff. Exercises aimed at strengthening the muscles in your back and improving your posture help a lot. Also, try sitting or standing properly by using ergonomics to relieve the pain. When these do not work, get advice from an orthopedist who will check it out further and then give treatment options if necessary.

I am a 35-year-old girl, and I suffer from neck pain. I only used painkillers
Female | 35
Neck pain may manifest as soreness or rigidity in the area around the neck. The most usual causes include incorrect posture, long hours of sitting, or abrupt movements. Instead, gentle neck stretches and warm packs can relieve discomfort. If the pain is not going away, consulting an orthopedist will help to exclude any serious problems.

I am 18 years old.Suffering from knee pain on right leg left side.i decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kgs.feeling neck pain and spinal cord pain
Female | 18
The knee pain on the outer side might be from some trauma or strain. The hurting of the neck and the spinal cord can be from bad posturing and muscle tension. You need to let that affected region recover, apply ice to the area, and do light stretching with the injured or painful part. Always keep your posture in the right way and make more decisions to reach out to a physiotherapist as a part of your strategy to get better quicker.

Female | 21
It seems like you have felt a lot of pain in your leg, foot, and ankle. Your past typhoid sickness and low blood pressure could be why you still hurt. Sometimes, typhoid can make joints ache. It is very important to drink lots of water and rest. Using cold packs and keeping your leg up high can help the pain go away. If the pain does not stop, you should see an orthopedist to find out what is wrong.

Male | 22
For your knee injury and MRI results, I suggest you see an orthopedic surgeon. Only a professional can exactly evaluate the degree of your injury and know if a surgical measure will do or not. You should go to a local orthopaedist to determine the nature and to provide the best possible treatment for it.

Female | 22
Based on your symptoms, it's important to consult an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist. Persistent joint pain, sounds, and discomfort spreading to multiple areas could indicate several conditions, including vitamin D deficiency or other bone/joint disorders. It’s crucial to have a thorough evaluation by a specialist to determine the exact cause and get appropriate treatment. Please visit an orthopedic specialist or rheumatologist for a detailed assessment and proper management of your condition.

What does this MRI mean? Very small right of midline C6-C7 disc herniation. No stenosis. No spinal cord edema or abnormal enhancement. There is a 9 mm right thyroid nodule
Female | 33
MRI with a very small right of midline C6-C7 disc herniation indicates a small protrusion of the spinal disc that lies between the neck bones. There's no abnormal swelling in the spinal cord and no narrowing of the spinal canal. Moreover, the 9 mm right thyroid nodule is seen, which needs to be evaluated by an Endocrinologist. You should book an appointment with an Orthopedist and an Endocrinologist to discuss further diagnosis and treatment.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?
Female | 28
I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

Hey doctor I have had this indent in my wrist from a while now and I also have pain in my wrist when I wake up in the morning and also when I bend my wrist and also when I press the dent could you please help me with this is this a serious issue, should I get it checked properly?
Male | 17
You might be experiencing a condition called carpal tunnel syndrome, which could be causing the dent in your hand and the pain you're feeling. Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when a nerve in your wrist gets compressed. It's important to have this checked by an orthopedist to confirm if carpal tunnel syndrome is the cause. They might recommend treatments like wrist splints, exercises, or, in some cases, surgery to help relieve your symptoms.

Male | Sajad Ahmad
When your muscles are hurting, it may be due to exertion, including from sexual intercourse. This can affect your legs and lower back if you've overused these muscles. It's important to stop and rest. Applying mild warmth and doing gentle stretches can help relieve the pain. Keeping your body hydrated and relaxed will also aid in muscle recovery. If the pain persists or you develop new symptoms, it's important to consult an orthopedist for advice.
