Joint Replacement Surgeon

Answered on 23rd May '24

YES, HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY IS LIKELY NECESSARY FOR AVASCULAR NECROSIS.. Avascular necrosis is when bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply. It can lead to pain and joint damage. Joint effusion is swelling from excess fluid, while joint capsulitis is when the joint capsule is inflamed.. ischemic changes refer to REDUCED BLOOD FLOW.. All of these can make it difficult to move and cause pain.. Surgery may help improve mobility and decrease pain.. YOUR FATHER'S DOCTOR WILL BE ABLE TO ADVISE ON THE BEST TREATMENT PLAN..

Hi, I'm 21 years old, female and since September 2021 i have muscle weakness. It only occurs when i'm moving. When i chew, or walk too fast or if i brush my hair, my muscles get tired very quickly. if i sit or lay down in a certain position, my upper body starts getting kind of muscle ache. My muscle weakness is on my hole body, started on my neck, on my legs, arms and my upper body. When i rest, it gets better. The first symptoms occurs 3 days after i had an intoxication with crabs eye plant seeds. I have talked to my physician about it, blood test, especially muscle enzymes were normal. He said nothing further about it. I'm pretty sure, the muscle weakness comes from the intoxication, but i'm not sure what should i do now.

My father is extremely overweight and has COPD and Emphysema, can he have a hip replacement

Male | 78

YES, your FATHER can have a hip replacement surgery.. However, his weight and lung problems can increase the risk of complications during and after the surgery. He will need to work closely with his doctors to prepare for the surgery and manage his conditions. Losing weight and improving lung function before the surgery can help reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome.. It is important that he follows his doctor's advice and instructions for a safe and successful surgery..

Sir Shoulder pain carry to Arm 8 month ago to yet

Male | 38

Your shoulder and arm pain lasting 8 months sounds difficult. This prolonge­d discomfort could stem from muscle or joint issues, like­ inflammation or injury. It's crucial to give your arm and shoulder proper re­st. Ice packs can help reduce­ swelling. Gentle stre­tching exercises, as guide­d by a physical therapist, may provide relie­f too.

I have alot of swelling in my leg i cant walk and its painful

Female | 17

You might have a disease called deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It begins when occurs a clot in a deep vein, most often, however, in the leg. Swelling, pain, warmth, and redness are the symptoms. To cure DVT, blood thinners may be required to stop the clots from getting bigger. Intensive care interventions also require a raised leg and rest. However, it might be necessary for the veins to be compressed further if your leg swelling and pain do not go away or worsen.
