  • Avoiding Shoulder Surgery in Impingement

    Shoulder impingement is one of the most common ailments in athletes and non-athletes alike.  It can be from an overuse repetitive injury or from a traumatic strain of the arm.  The rotator cuff consists of four tendons that surround and grab the ball of the joint, called the humeral head, and...

  • How long does it take for heel pain to heal?

    It depends on the reason for the heal pain. The first step is to see a foot specialist to figure out the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Ron Noy, MD, FAAOS READ MORE

  • Is massage therapy good for shoulder bursitis?

    Bursitis can actually get irritated by massage therapy, but it can help other painful and often related problems in the shoulder. Most important points are to have the correct diagnosis and a good massage therapist. The latter will be able to avoid irritating an inflamed bursae while helping treat the underlying problems that can often lead to the bursitis. READ MORE

  • What are swollen ankles a sign of?

    Since it is rare to sprain both ankles, especially given no history of trauma, it is important for you to see your primary care doctor for a work up since swelling in the ankles can be anything from poor circulation to other medical conditions. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • What is the best treatment for peroneal tendonitis?

    The first step is to avoid what caused it and a brief period of rest for the tendon so the inflammation calms down. The quickest way to do this sometimes is in a walking cast boot that you see football players often wearing on the sidelines. Physical therapy can help as well. If there is acute inflammation and pain, using ice appropriately can help a lot quicker than oral anti-inflammation medications, which if there are no contra-indications can also be helpful. If symptoms persist it can indicate that there is a tear, degeneration, subluxation and/or dislocation of the tendon, or perhaps the wrong diagnosis. Further work up may then include an mri scan, emg/nerve conduction study and other tests. A cortisone injection into the tendon sheath may also be necessary but should be done by a specialist to avoid iatrogenic injury. Lastly, surgical options are sometimes necessary. READ MORE

  • How do you know if your foot is dislocated?

    A foot dislocation is a medical emergency that should be reduced immediately. If there is any question that your foot is dislocated, you should go to the emergency room to have it evaluated and treated. READ MORE

  • Are you awake for foot surgery?

    You can be asleep under general anesthesia or choose to have a regional block where the anesthesiologist numbs the nerves to the foot. The choice of which kind of anesthesia is decided between your surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and you before the surgery is performed. READ MORE

  • Can you change your leg cast?

    Your best bet is to see a trauma surgeon near you to check that the fracture is healing properly with an X-ray and then changed the cast. An X-ray after the cast change may be necessary as well. If you are in the NYC area, I would recommend someone like Dr. Lon Weiner, Dr. David Helfitt or Dr. Dave Asprinio. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • How long does it take to walk after a dislocated ankle?

    It really depends on the associated injuries that can occur with this significant injury, which can include ligament, neurovascular structures (nerves and blood vessels) and articular surface cartilage injuries, as well as how stable the joint is after reduction. Best to discuss with your treating orthopedist. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • Do orthopedic doctors treat back pain?

    Yes, they do, but not all orthopedic doctors will see you depending on if they specialize in other areas of the body. Orthopedic doctors who are spine specialists, sports medicine specialists, and general orthopedists are the ones most likely to see you. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • What happens if a rotator cuff is not repaired?

    It depends on many factors including how large the tear is, location and type, as well as mechanism of injury (if any) and physical exam findings. The history and physical are usually more important to determine if surgery is necessary, as opposed to relying solely on an MRI scan. There are many rotator cuff tears that do not require surgery, but the only way to know if you are in this group is to see a good orthopedic shoulder or sports medicine specialist for a thorough work up and examination to determine if you are. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • How long does it take for tennis elbow to heal?

    This depends on what you mean by heal. Oftentimes, there is an underlying degenerative area with acute episodes of inflammation and pain. Most tennis elbow acute episodes can resolve with non-invasive intervention treatments and can resolve rather quickly (days to weeks), but this does not get rid of the underlying degenerative area if there is one. Injection treatments when done correctly with vascular channeling techniques can help, but may still take 6 weeks. If symptoms do not improve after 6 weeks, invasive treatment is indicated, but newer techniques with devices like Tenex though stab incisions I feel are much better than traditional surgical treatments (open incision, arthroscopic). Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • How can I relieve shoulder pain?

    It really depends on the source of shoulder pain, as this can be anything from issues with the joint, rotator cuff, cartilage ring (labrum), ligaments to even referred pain from a neck problem. Best to get a good history and physical done by a qualified orthopedic surgeon and then have the appropriate treatment initiated. That being said, my rule of thumb for safe shoulder exercises that can improve certain problems in the shoulder is what I coined as the No Pain Principle of the Shoulder exercises. These include painless zone of motion strengthening exercises in the external rotation, internal rotation and abduction/flexion motions, scapular retraction exercises (anything that sticks your chest out like rowing or reverse shrugs), appropriate stretches as needed to regain motion, and icing the tendon and joint area afterwards to prevent inflammation from doing the exercises (a recent study suggests not to ice the muscles as that can slow down recovery). Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • Why does my knee crack when I stretch it?

    The most common reason could be some worn cartilage called chondromalacia. There are strengthening exercises, behavioral modification and injection therapies that can help. If that does not, there are surgical options as well. See a physical therapist to start and if that does not work, see a physician. READ MORE

  • What is wrong with my ankle bone?

    Best to get it checked. Even if it’s not broken, early intervention can be very helpful. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • How to treat a child's sprained ankle?

    Routine sprained ankles usually take 2 weeks to heal and stop hurting. If it does not improve by then, further work up should be considered. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • How do you treat foot pain?

    There are many many possible reasons for foot pain. The source needs to be determined before the proper treatment can be chosen. I recommend starting by seeing a foot specialist, although other specialists may be necessary. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • What kind of doctor should I see for my muscle injury?

    There are several. You can see an orthopedic surgeon, primary care sports medical specialist, physiatrist or a physical therapist. READ MORE

  • Is there any way to ease sciatic nerve pain?

    It depends on the actual origin of pain as sciatic pain can be related to the lumbar spine, piriformis and hamstrings, for example. Best to get a good history and physical done to figure out the origin of the pain to get the best treatment options. READ MORE

  • How can I stop the pain in my elbow?

    It all depends on the correct diagnosis. See a doctor who specializes in elbow/forearm conditions. They will examine you from your neck to the hand as the problem could always be related to something proximal, local or distal. Once the correct diagnosis is determined, the best plan for treatment can be started. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE

  • What's causing my knee pain?

    If there was not a traumatic event or fever, the most common reason for what you described could be some damaged cartilage, but there are many other possibilities. A proper history and physical is the most important first step in figuring out the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Ron Noy, MD READ MORE
