Joint Replacement Surgeon
Answered on 23rd May '24
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..

I have bad pain in both shoulders while sleeping, can I take stem cell treatment
Male | 36
You seem to have a Frozen Shoulder, a condition when the shoulder joint tissue becomes tight, causing pain. Stem cell treatment research is ongoing, making it an uncommon solution currently. The advisable step is to consult an orthopedist for appropriate exercises, physical therapy, or medications. These can alleviate pain and enhance shoulder mobility.

How to increas disk space between L5 and S1
Female | 21
There is lesser space between the L5 and S1 vertebrae which contributes to back pain and leg pain. This is mainly due to aging or a slipped disc. You can create more room by strengthening your core muscles that support the spine. Additionally, proper posture and regular physical activity are important in relieving the pressure on these vertebrae. You can also visit an orthopedist for further treatment.

Left thumb facture due to accident
Male | 30
Your left thumb is hurt. You feel pain, and swelling, it's bruised, and you can't move it well. A fall or hit caused your thumb to break. Don't use your thumb. Put ice on it to reduce the swelling. See an orthopedist for an X-ray. They'll check how bad the fracture is. The doctor may put a splint or cast on your thumb to help it heal correctly.

Hi there This is Najad here Iam having heavy lower backpain.I experienced this a year back now all of a sudden it got worse since last week I was having lower back pain but yesterday all of sudden it got worse I cant move properly.When change posture sitting standing its catching and hurts badly. Iam Indian expact living in UAE
Male | 35
It appears you are really in pain and it is sharp in your lower back, not only when moving and changing your posture. Back pain can come from several reasons, such as muscle strain, bad posture, or serious diseases like herniated discs. One way to reduce discomfort is by using hot/cold therapy or pilates and yoga. Maintain good posture and do not carry a heavy load. However, given the acute flare-up and the intolerance to physical activity, you should see an orthopedist who will give you a proper treatment plan.

I am 18 years old .I decreased my weight in 2 months upto 3 kg. I am suffering one side of knee pain in right leg. And there is a pain for one day from neck and spinal cord
Female | 18
The weight loss you specified as a prospective cause might be the reason you are experiencing knee pain on one side. On the other hand, weight changes could be a culprit. The infancy of sudden neck pain and spinal cord delineating the muscle sprain might be the cause. Following healthy weight suggestions and gentle stretching activities is important. Not doing so will put you at risk for other issues like diabetes and other ailments so I advise doing the things I suggested above first. If the pain doesn't go away, it's best to call an orthopedist to look at it.

From past 3 4 days I have pain under my eyes.
Male | 25
It sounds like you have multiple health issues that need attention. For your back, shoulder, knee, and feet pain, as well as tight muscles and tremors, it is best to see an orthopedic doctor. The asymmetry in your eyes and recent pain under your eyes should be checked by an ophthalmologist. For pelvic floor tightness and bladder issues, a visit to a urologist is recommended.

I'm 17 years old. My man. I had joint and muscle pain, especially in the neck, for a while. There is pain in the neck, elbow joints, arm muscles, wrist and fingers, and the bone between the elbow and hand. However, what is disturbing is the leg pain. It starts from the waist and hips and goes towards the feet. The most severe pain is the left upper leg, thigh and knee. I have pain in the calves of both my feet. Even my toes hurt. I have a burning and stinging sensation in my left upper leg. And worst of all, I have extreme weakness and fatigue. I can never open my eyes in the morning, I can't even wake up, I'm always tired. The pediatrician looked at it 1 month ago. At that time, there were no such severe symptoms, there was some joint pain and fatigue. He did a detailed blood test and nothing came up. Just this CRP 10 The doctor didn't say anything and we never went back. What diseases can it be a symptom of? Could it be a sign of leukemia? Someone said it. But my family thought I was exaggerating everything, so I didn't say anything to them again about going to the hospital. I just want to know your opinion What do you think it could be? I'm sorry for keeping you busy
Erkek | 17
Widespread muscle and joint aches with fatigue could mean fibromyalgia. It causes burning sensations too. Though leukemia seems scary, fibromyalgia fits these symptoms. But don't worry, an orthopedist can investigate the cause properly. They'll suggest suitable treatment options after examining you thoroughly.

Male | 25
Dehydration and bulging are exacerbating disc changes causing muscle spasms to occur along the spine. That is why you get to feel pain, and stiffness, and the nerves are more sensitive. The possible fixes involve some physical therapy procedures, anti-inflammatory drugs, and, if necessary, cor searches for tumor syndrome. Then things such as upright posture, free movement exercises, and heat therapy will also be beneficial. Please make sure that you visit an orthopedist consultation, and personalized treatment for you is also necessary.

My coler bane look like block
Male | 42
It looks like you have some abrupt discomfort in your collarbone area. Perhaps you have strained muscles, an injury, or you have a wrong posture. Common symptoms are feeling painful, swollen, or restricted movement. To handle this discomfort, give a trial to the cold pack applied to the affected area and take a rest. Also doing gentle stretching may be useful. Still, after symptoms do not go away or they even become more serious, you should consult an orthopedist.

Hello! I am Jelena from Belgrade. I have 29 years and pains started when I was 17 years. Pains from the beginning are the same, strong, and constant. I have pains while sitting, standing, walking, sleeping. I started swimming but can’t see any improvement. I have been at physiotherapist, hyperbaric therapy, and I had surgery 2 years ago in Belgrade. They told me they did a fusion surgery of the spine (L3, L4), and they decompressed vertebras and input disc but I don’t feel anything better from the surgery at all, not even 1% percent. Behalf of the same pain, I can feel one of the screws when touching its place, it causes pain while I sitting on a chair or even laying in bed. The main pain is in my lower back, from the middle of the spine down to the gluteus. Another issue I have is that I broke my coccyx and it was crookedly fused, which also makes me a pain. I have pictures of MRI and I would love to send you. I want to thank you again for your time and looking forward to your reply. I will send the MRI as soon as you say. Thanks, Best Regards, Jelena Rmus
Female | 29
The spine surgery (L3, L4 fusion) and fractured tailbone might be causing your persistent discomfort. Let's look closely at your MRI scans to figure out what's going on. I suggest consulting an expert spine doctor for a thorough check-up and tailored treatment plan.

Male | 30
Back pain may be caused by a host of different factors such as poor posture, moving heavy objects the wrong way, or not being physically active. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, or mobility difficulties. Relieve your back with some gentle exercises such as stretching or walking. Ensure that you are not only standing but also sitting straight. If the pain persists, get a consultation with an orthopedist for further directions.
