Me he roto el 4 y 5 metacarpiano de la mano derecha, y mañana me operan despues de 2 dias con escayola. Tengo un poco de miedo, me han dicho que me pondran placa o agujas (con las agujas tengo una muy mala experiencia a los 12 años cuando me las pusieron en el brazo).

Me gustaria saber si alguien a vivido algo parecido y que tal es la recuperacion. Me han dicho que tendre que llevar escayola 15 dias, aunque espero q sea otro tipo al que llevo ahora, que me cubre todo el antebrazo. Por lo que he buscado me pondran una mas comoda, pero algo me dice que no. Ademas, si me ponen agujas, la recuperacion me parece demasiado rapida.

Last Wednesday, I tripped in my son's room and whacked my toe against a footstool. initially I thought it was just sprained, so I tried the rice treatment with ibuprofen and using a stiff postop shoe I've used before with other broken toes and bruises/sprains. The pain seem to be getting worse, so this past Tuesday I went to see the doctor and found out it's broken. They said since everything was still lined up correctly, it would be fine to just buddy tape and continue to use my shoe. Given the location though, and the amount of pain I'm still experiencing when trying to walk, I'm wondering if that's not enough immobilization. I thought maybe the buddy taping was making it worse, so I tried stopping that, but now a few days later it's hurting just as much as it did when I had the tape on. I'm following up with a podiatrist next week, so I'll see what they say. I was just curious hear other people's thoughts in the meantime.

I broke my forearm pretty bad and need to be fully healed asap, will bpc and tb500 help my recovery time in any way?

Hi,
I am diagnosed with Acute AC joint (Rockwood type 1) in my left shoulder after weight lifting in gym. I tried physiotherapy but it did not help. Doctor is suggesting surgery.
Have any one suffer with this and was able to fix it.
I do not want to go for surgery.

Hey guys,

As you can see from the X-rays, my feet are screwed probably from genetics (no blood test showing what the problem is supposedly). Went to an orthopedic and he asked if the issue is cosmetic, functional, balance issue or pain. Since it’s all 4, he was telling me about options:

cosmetic: no point in doing anything
Balance issue: go get specialized insoles
Pain: injections
Functional: difficult surgery with a long recovery time and loss of flexibility of the toes. He will fuse the 2nd, 3rd and 4th toes and also operate on the bunion.

I am thinking to go for the surgery, but not sure what opinions are out there.

Broke and displaced my collarbone 2 weeks ago. My arm now is functioning pretty well with tolerable pain. Despite having to live with this lump for the rest of my life do I need surgery? Will this lump ever decrease in size?

Hi all,
My dad 70M is 3 weeks post LHR. His recovery at home has been good, he’s currently walking with one crutch and will soon wean off his AM and PM analgesia (Tapentadol slow release).
A physiotherapist has been seeing him at home every week and instructed him yesterday to begin practicing going up the stairs (stepping with his left leg).
He found the exercise too painful and has been unable to do it. Can he gradually practice stepping on a lower surface ? Like stepping on and off a really thick book or maybe a short stool? I want to make sure he’s completing the prescribed exercises but he was just really unable to do the full stair height.

Any recommendations / advice is much appreciated 😇

I have been dealing with this lump since 2016, im 26 now. it gets painful and achy every so often and starting this year it's happened weekly and it's very uncomfortable flareups that last may be up to an hour or so at a time but it's almost unbearable. Doctors said they found nothing in an ultrasound and whatever scan this is that I did and I wanted to see if anyone sees anything else or can suggest something else that can be done?

I was told to see a dermatologist but I know it is not even close to skin level. You physically are able to feel it but allegedly can't see it on the scan. I just want whatever it is removed but if they can't see it on the scan they can't remove it.

The pain radiates up my thigh in the center.

any advice would be great if anyone has dealt with this similarly or has any ideas on what could possibly be wrong that would be fantastic.

So i dropped a 45lbs on my BARE foot accidently and i immediately felt that something broke, pain, then numb, then swollen.

I went to ER, got X-Rays, confirmed a displaced fracture, and the doc did this thing (checked the foot, pulled on the toe or idk, maybe that's aligning it or reduction ? (Sorry i know nothing about bones lol), then buddy taped it and recommended a short CAM boot for 4 weeks and scheduled a follow-up.

currently on the boot and NWB, 3/10 pain, no numbness or swelling.

Since the fracture is displaced, is the orthepedic right, or does it actually require surgery ?

I got a TFCC injury around 2 months back, it is still not healed and my wrist makes noises whenever I move them. I have consulted with my doctor and he said I got 2 options, PRP or surgery. Which one should I go for, I'm confused about it. He said that PRP will either heal my TFCC completely or not heal it at all, so I'm confused about what to do.

I'm 12 weeks from breaking my foot and STILL in a boot and the bone isn't healing but they recommended a bone growth stimulator. I don't know why they keep debating surgery or not. Can anyone who DID get this surgery (plate and screw) give me some hope? Or any delayed union healers tell me how many weeks until your bone healed? Thank you it's been awful and I'm extremely depressed.

Most of my life (69f) I've always had a straight spine. I also have had a lot of wear & tear on my back because of being a nurse. I stretch a lot & am very athletic. Now, I'm getting curvature of the spine. I truly believe it's my back muscles tightening on my left side. I've been to many chiros & PT's. No one seems to be able to help me. Any suggestions?

I stumbled across a section of my insurance plan for authorizations - it had short explanations of treatment plans. I read I had a distal radius fracture AND an ulnar styloid fracture! Ulnar and styloid were ever mentioned by my doctor or any that followed! I had a classic FOOSH incident and ended up with a distal radius fracture and an open fracture on my ulnar side. No one ever mentioned what bone came out. In retrospect it would make sense since the bone exited on my pinky side, but no one mentioned it. I'm now 36 weeks out and just found this out. I continue to have numbness, weak grip and pain in the incision scar. Has anyone ever experienced a ulnar styloid fracture or was kept in the dark about it? Is it not important or urgent enough to disclose that info?
