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.

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.

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.

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.
