I have a fracture on the Fibula head due to fall from bike 2 weeks ago. The doctor didn't apply any cast/plaster but advised to use hinged braces. Only cycling, sitting crossed legs, stairs up down is restricted by the doctor. But I'm walking minimally(Partial weight on the fractured leg) and time of the time sitting keeping my leg straight. Pain and swelling reduced. But stiffness around the knee and pain during flexion of the knee. Should it heal without cast/plaster and how many days would it take to walk normally?
Hello Doctor my father has a knee problem he has diabetic now recently got to know with the cad3 will he is fit to go for operation can you please suggest me in this
A heavy pan fell on my right foot about 10 months ago, not sure if this is the reason but whenever I play sports etc, a shooting pain starts from my thumb till my mid foot area and a bulge appears there. RICE method helps a little but is this a permanent solution everytime since it's recurring? Do I need to consult a doctor? If yes, which specialist? Bone or nerves?
I have a fibula head fracture in Right Knee. The doctor advised not to do plaster and advised to use hinged braces. Would it heal without plaster?
I am a 35 year old woman from Bangalore (5 Feet 6 Inch Height, 74 Kg Weight). I was having knee pain for maybe close to 18 months. The pain was not constant, kind of intermittent. I actually wear heels 4-5 days a week, heels with 3-4 inch heel. I got MRI done of both knees post doctor's advise. Key findings: Right Knee-“Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus. Left Knee-Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial and lateral menisci. Reviewing the MRI reports, my doctor advised me to start physiotherapy focused on Quadriceps & VMO strengthening exercises. I have begun the exercises, and it has been about 2 weeks so far. The pain is there, sometimes more. Wanted opinion on: 1. How long does it typically take for this condition to improve and for the pain to go away? 2. Is it fully curable? 3. Will I be able to wear high heels (3–4 inches) occasionally in future, perhaps 3–4 days a week for about 2–3 hours a day? Please guide the best. Thank you
