Experiencing numbness and pain after elbow fracture treatment. Why is this happening?
Normally post surgery there is still a large amount of inflammation or swelling, which in turn applies pressure on the nerves and other structures that are in that area of the elbow. When the nerve is affected it can cause numbness, tingling, sharp, stabbing, throbbing and pressure like pain. Usually your surgeon will provide you with pain meds to deal with this part of recover. 4-6 wks from now your pain and numbness will feel better. You going to also need to go physical therapy to completely heal with a fully functional arm. READ MORE
Why do I have a sharp knee pain?
There are a few things to think about when dealing with a knee. Depending if there is trauma or not. Is your knee giving out or locking up. Can you fully bend the knee without pain. I can only guess without examing you. As physician we use orthopedic exams, your history, and a few others things to figure out what exactly you have. Considering your young age, you might just need to rest, instead of running all the time,constant pounding of the knee joint. Try the bike, swimming, elliptical things that do not apply to much stress on the knee joint. If it does not go away you might have a meniscus tear or patellar grind syndrome but I don't know without examing you. READ MORE
How can i reduce my pain due to ankle sprain?
So far you tried ice and heat, you also should invest in a ankle brace that you can tighten this will supply support while you are healing. Try to walk with your normal gait with the ankle brace, you will heal faster. At the end of the day rest on your couch with your leg and ankle raised in that position move your ankle back and fourth side to side and cicular rotatations. The movement with no wieght will provide nutrition to the ligaments in the ankle and reduce inflammation, which help you recover quicker. READ MORE

42 is too young for osteoporosis. Usually, after menopause, symptoms may occur, so I don't believe you have osteoporosis. I would either try going to a chiropractor and see if they can provide you with a proper diagnosis. You might just need some supplements and treatment. You can also try your primary and the doctor should work you up to see if there is another explanation for your issues. READ MORE
Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
Yes it is, a majority of chiropractors do take X-rays not only to rule out pre-existing condition but also to access the curvature and alignment of the spine. After a couple of months of treatment they might take more X-rays as a re-examination to show the improvement in alignment. However, some doctors don't have the room for an X-ray machine so they will send you out for one. In addition other doctors might not take X-rays based on your history. If your injury occurred due to trauma, then most likely an X-ray will be taken, but if there is no trauma some doctors will choose not to take an X-ray. READ MORE
