I am a 16 year old male. I had a displaced both-bone forearm fracture that was reduced and placed in a plaster cast about a week ago. My follow-up X-ray was checked by the doctor, who said the alignment is fine, with only a little bending. For the last ~2 days after the follow up session, I have had significant tightness and stiffness feeling around my wrist, especially on one side, which feels different from before. When I bend/open my fingers, particularly the little finger, I feel some pain/tightness around the wrist. I also occasionally get brief burning/hot-water-like or nerve-type sensations and a heartbeat/pulsing feeling around my elbow . My fingers are warm, normally coloured and movable, and I do not have constant or severe pain. Could this be swelling, nerve/tendon irritation, or pressure from the cast, and should the cast be checked or adjusted? Also, given my age and isolated arm fracture, is there any need for a blood thinner, or is it unnecessary in my case?
Last year my mother started to have knee pain in her left knee. Took her to an ortho doctor, x ray showed knee osteoarthritis and he prescribed medicines but didn't help much. He suggested surgery but mother wanted to try physiotherapy. She's only had a few sessions but physiotherapy has helped. My query is few months before her knee pain started she was hospitalised for kidney stones. After the stones were removed, doctor changed her diabetic medicines. Instead of taking Cerapin xr 500 during breakfast and dinner he prescribed Trajenta 5 during breakfast and Gluconorm SR 850 during dinner. I read Trajenta 5 side effect can cause joint pain. Can any doctor verify this? My mother doesn't have any visible swelling or redness in the knees.
For most people with knee arthritis, the honest answer is yes, at least for a period, and often for many years. Surgery is the right answer for a minority of patients at a particular point in their disease, not the default destination for everyone with a worn knee.What follows is what ...
Robotic knee replacement is marketed heavily, and the claims patients hear range from reasonable to nonsense. It is worth separating what the technology genuinely does from what it is often said to do.What the robot actually isIt is not an autonomous machine. The surgeon plans the ...
Patients often arrive expecting the X-ray to make the decision. It does not. An X-ray showing bone-on-bone arthritis is not by itself an indication for knee replacement, and a moderate looking X-ray does not rule it out.The decision is made from several things together. Here is what a ...
Knee osteoarthritis is not one condition with one treatment. It is a spectrum, and the single most useful thing a patient can know is which part of that spectrum their knee sits in. The stage decides the treatment far more than the severity of pain does.Radiologists commonly grade it ...
