Pain Control After Orthopaedic Surgery
Achievement of a good outcome after an orthopaedic procedure such as knee, hip or shoulder replacement, fracture repair, rotator cuff repair, or hip arthroscopy requires that the extremity moves immediately after surgery. We call this “early mobilization”. But, when the patient has pain,...

Why do my son's ankles hurt when he walks?
If there hasn't been a fall or injury, then it's probably just a tendonitis related to his activity. Try rest, and advil (dose on bottle) 2-3 times a day. However, there are many other serious things that could be the cause. So, if he doesn't get better with rest and advil after a week or two, then see an orthopedic specialist. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why do the bottoms of my feet hurt?
The answer is impossible to know without more information. However, as a 17 year old, your probably very active, running etc. They probably hurt due to overuse. Try Advil after running to see if that helps. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long is the recovery for ankle surgery?
The bone takes about 6 weeks to heal. Then another few weeks for rehab to get the stiffness out. Most patients recover good as new with no long-term problems. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE

What can I expect after hand tendon surgery?
Your hand will hurt, be swollen and stiff. Elevate, elevate, elevate. Do the exercises your surgeon tells you to do, or your finger will get stiff and stiffness is very hard to treat. You will have to fo go to therapy, just do it. Remember, your ultimate outcome is half up to your surgeon and half up to you. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does it take to heal peroneal tendonitis?
Longer than you want me to tell you. For just about any tendon to heal, and not get re-injured again quickly, it takes 6-8 weeks. During that time, the tendon needs to be immobilized in a cast or brace. When you return to play, begin slowly gradually increasing duration and intensity of the activity. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does it take to recover from an ankle operation?
Depends on what type of surgery. For arthroscopy, 2-3 weeks. For a fusion, 3-4 months. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What is the best treatment for tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow comes from forceful gripping of something, like a tennis racket. Ice after forceful gripping. Stretching the muscles (google those). Advil 3 tablets 3 times a day with food. Get a tennis elbow strap from and wear it when playing. Stop or decrease the amount of tennis you are playing. Sometimes increasing your grip size will help. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What are the differences between a herniated disc, protrusion, and disc bulge?
A bulge is a normal small central protuberance that slightly changes a flat surface. They are seen in at least 30% of the normal population. A protrusion is the same but larger and may be off to one side or another. A herniation is a large protrusion that contains nucleus and it either presses on a nerve or the central canal. Your MRI looks similar to hundreds of other MRI's that I have seen in people in your age range. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do I get my legs to stop aching?
Achy legs are usually due to swelling of the legs. Legs swell due to obesity, high blood pressure, or injury to the veins in the legs. Fixing the obesity or high blood pressure helps. Otherwise, the best way to handle this is to wear compression stockings. Knee high or thigh high stockings can be bought at Walmart or Amazon. Put them on first thing in the morning and wear during the day. Your legs will feel better. Hope it helps! Dr. Bose READ MORE
