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,...
Surgical Volume Matters
Many, many factors come together to obtain an excellent outcome for the patient after orthopedic surgery. Patient expectations and attitudes, and medical diseases all play a role. However, the skill of the surgeon also plays a significant role. Research has shown time and time again that if a...

Question about fracture?
Yes, it could, especially if you have a history of osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. If your pain is severe and does not get markedly better in a few days, then you need to have your back X-rayed. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Severe Back Cramps?
Lower back pain is extremely common. It usually comes from spine conditions, but can come from uterus or ovary conditions and from internal organ conditions such as kidney or bowel disease. Try rest, anti-inflammatory meds such as Advil (600mg 3 times a day). If there is no improvement or fever or inability to void, then see a doctor. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long should you wait to workout after a back injury?
You need to wait until most of the pain has subsided. Then start with very light weights. First begin with bench lying flat on your back. IF no pain, progress to the incline bench. If no pain after a week, then you can do lifts in a standing position. Very light weights. IF a few weeks pass and no pain, then progress to lifts in a sitting position. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What cream is good for bursitis?
Get some Voltaren Cream. You can buy it on Amazon or in drug stores. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How do you fix a dislocated elbow?
A true dislocated elbow is very very painful. Only an X-ray can tell exactly what is going on. If it is dislocated, it needs to be "set" by an orthopedic surgeon and placed in a cast for 3 weeks. If there are associated fractures, then they need to be fixed as well. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Sprained ankle looks a bit deformed?
The only way to know for sure is to get an X-ray, but I doubt you have a fracture. Get a lace up ankle brace and wear it whenever your foot touches the floor. Take advil 600 mg three times a day. Expect healing to be 4-5 weeks in total. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Why do my knees crunch?
Yes, you should see an Orthopedic Surgeon. You probably have arthritis under your kneecaps. This gives a crunching sound when going up or down stairs or getting up from a squatting position. Try to avoid these things as much as possible. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Right side lower back pain?
Yes, it could be related to the weed eater. I agree with taking Motrin. Take 600 mg three times a day with food. You can use icy hot or BenGay and a heating pad on your back. Hopefully your symptoms will resolve within several days. If not, see your orthopedic surgeon. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Is microfracture surgery painful?
It is no more painful than a knee arthroscopy with a menisectomy. Most people have pain that requires narcotics for 2-3 days. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Best type of sneaker for orthotics?
There are many opinions because there is no authoritative study on the subject. The main thing is to get a neutral shoe that is well cushioned that you are willing to wear most of the time. Most people get a well-cushioned tennis shoe around $100. Remember, the orthotic does the correction so the shoe does not have to. Also, you can move the orthotic from shoe to shoe, so you can use it for differing social occasions. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How long does knee microfracture take to heal?
3-4 months until you can do any significant sports or work. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can a fracture move in a cast?
Yes, it can. That is why the doctor will tell you to come back once a week for several weeks in order to X-ray the fracture, to make sure it has not moved in the cast. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can you get a bunion by your pinky toe?
Yes. It is called a bunionette. Get a Dr Schol's pad and stick it on the painful area to put a cushion between the shoe and the skin. Also, get shoes that are wider so your little toe won't rub on the shoe. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can a broken big toe cause bunions?
A broken toe is rarely the cause of a bunion, but it's possible. I've never seen it. Most of the time, bunions are caused by high heel shoes with pointy toes. Over time, they deform the big toe joint and cause a bunion. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What does a tailor's bunion feel like?
It hurts. Any *bunion* can be painful, especially if it rubs against your shoe. A *tailor's bunion*, also called a bunionette, is a bony lump that forms along the side of the little toe. It happens when the fifth metatarsal bone enlarges or shifts outward. The fifth metatarsal is the very bottom bone on the little toe. It is treated with a shoe that is wider so the bone won't rub on the shoe. Also, pads can be purchased at any store to protect the skin from rubbing on the shoe. If all of the above fails, a surgery can be performed. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
My lower body hurts all the time?
With all of those issues in a 64-year-old, you probably have arthritis. Hard to say if it is mild or severe. Try taking advil 3 tablets with each meal for 2 weeks. If you aren't better, see an orthopedic surgeon for a more exact diagnosis and treatment plan. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
Can I climb stairs after meniscus surgery?
If a meniscus repair was done, then no for at least 3 months. If a meniscus resection was done (meniscectomy - most common) was done, then yes, you can. Hope this helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
How should I sleep with tennis elbow pain?
There is no evidence that says you should sleep in any particular position. So, sleep in any position you feel comfortable. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
What is a natural remedy for chronic elbow pain?
Rest or ice for 20 minutes three times a day are the only natural cures that I am aware of. READ MORE
Right wrist pain (excruciating when bending it a certain direction/angle)?
It sounds to me like you have a tendonitis either in your wrist or elbow. Try taking advil, 3 tablets with each meal. Also, avoid whatever motion causes pain. If not better after a week or so, see an orthopedic specialist. Hope it helps!! Dr. Bose READ MORE
