Bone & Muscle problems
Low oxygen after knee replacement
She had total knee replacement for both knees since she had osteoarthritis 4th grade.No pre-existing condition of diabetes,heart prior to surgery.Is overweight though & has thyroid and hypertension for which the medicines were continuing.
he surgery went fine & she was shifted to general ward within 24 hrs of surgery after being in icu for observation.There were no complications till then but the next day her knees bled & she had problem breathing & chest xray was taken (attached) which shows mild pneumonia.Right now, she is on supplementary oxygen but her oxygen level ( pulse oxymeter) dips to 60-70 as soon as she's off the oxygen.
Although the doctors say that she's recovering and she does seem fine other than the fact she's unable to get up to urinate and defecate. Also, there doesn't seem to be any neurological or cardiac condition
Is the oxygen dip normal or is it something to worry about because as per my understanding,post surgical pneumonia can have very adverse effects ?

Pain when touching or moving the kneecap
Hi doctor!
History: Patella dislocation 8 months before and now the joint is completely fine.
But the one thing that is not going away is the pain. Whenever i touch my Patella or move it it causes sharp pain when I move it towards lateral side. It happens every time even when the knee slightly touches the bed when I sleep on stomach. The swelling has also not gone from when the injury occured. What can be the cause of this pain ? It also pains when I walk downstairs.
I don't have the Xray and MRI was not done.
Thanks a lot for reading my problem sir ! Pls tell

Smashed finger and fractured tip
Dear Doctor
My daughter has smashed finger between a gate and fractured the right thumb, also detected subungal hematoma which doctor mentioned is okay as long as there is no pain or discoloration.
The finger is swollen just below the nail and has turned slightly yellow. But no pain. Would it heal by itself? Looks like pus, but it is not oozing. Any ointment that can help dry the wound? Or will warm compress help?
