Dr. Samuel Isaac Brown M.D.'s Expert Contributions
  • How long does it take to recover from knee ligament surgery?

    Totally depends on the ligaments repaired, the pre-surgical health and conditioning of the patient. An athletic 24 yo will have a shorter time than a non athletic 35 yo unacquainted with exercise & conditioning. For example,10-14 weeks is a minimum for ACL reconstruction for example and even the best athlete will continue to work hard at rehabilitation for up to 6 months. READ MORE

  • Can you walk with a torn ligament in your ankle?

    Yes. Ankle “sprains” intact are partial tears, sometimes complete tears of ligaments (which connect bone to bone) about the ankle. Despite swelling etc walking is possible, but being cautious, obtaining an ankle support at a pharmacy or sports store is helpful. Then see your local orthopedic surgeon for evaluation. READ MORE

  • How bad is the pain after ankle surgery?

    Depends on the procedure. Simple ankle Arthroscopy, minimal pain and rapid recovery. The other extreme ankle joint replacement, lots of pain and 2-3 months' recovery. Ankle fractures also weeks of recovery and lots of pain the first week or two. READ MORE

  • Knee pain?

    Multiple options exist is to the ideology of her pain. It would appear she need some more thorough valuation to include an MRI scan of her knee. A common problem in female runners in this age group would include the Possibility of a stress fracture. Hormonal changes missed menstrual periods and often nutritional deficits (Poor calcium and protein intake )may be factors in teenage runners. An MRI scan would rule in or out the possibility of a stress fracture and determine if there are other possible causes from structural injury. Getting the scan would be the best move at this point. READ MORE

  • Progressing knee pain and also shoulder pain?

    Do you have a challenging situation. The knee problem could be just an inflammatory reaction with synovitis and fluid build-up, which is enough to make you miserable in and of itself. Anti-inflammatory medication should help this stay away from heat but you may use ice to help decrease the swelling at times when it’s the worst. Work on straightening the knee and prop it out straight whenever you are resting. That may seem painful, however, it will keep your hamstring muscle stretched and you’ll be able to walk better. Should you develop a fever or chills or acute worsening of the swelling in your knee, go to the emergency room. With your history of lung problems, etc., although infection seems less likely, you must be aware that possibility exists. It does not sound like you have an infection at this point holding inflammatory reaction. As regards the shoulder, you must keep that moving in again some gentle range of motion; stretching despite the pain is very important. You will develop a frozen shoulder rapidly if you do not stretch this through the pain. Don’t let the pain stop you. If you worsen, you should return to your primary care or see an internal medicine specialist or go to the emergency room. READ MORE

  • Is it possible that I developed osteoarthritis?

    Everyone develops osteoarthritis with age however you are a bit young to consider that diagnosis. More likely you have some type of inflammation from either overuse or even under use. Seeing a physical therapist and starting a moderate exercise program for your quadriceps and hamstring muscles in your thigh ,may alleviate your problem. The anti-inflammatory medication you’re taking may be helpful at times but should not be a mainstay as time goes on. If your problem does not go away with the help of physical therapy and exercise, seeing a rheumatologist would be worthwhile. In your age group bilateral knee pain is often actually patella femoral tracking syndrome or chondromalacia of the patella... which again could be helped by your physical therapist READ MORE

  • What activities can you not do after a hip replacement?

    The answer depends o your level of activity, Before your surgery. You should be able to do essentially every thing you did before surgery. Running is likely to be out but swimming & biking will both be possible. In fact you will have a better long term result if you get into and maintain good muscle tone before & after your hip replacement! READ MORE

  • What causes pain in the back at night?

    Although there are several options re the cause of back pain, at night, most common may be mild spinal stenosis. While awake & active the pain is not as noticeable. Almost all musculoskeletal pain is worse at night when it seems your brain has less to keep it occupied & focuses on inflammatory things, pain associated areas. If not relieved by 7-10 days of an anti-inflammatory over-the-counter medication, Aleve or Advil (if these are safe for you to take), you may want to see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation. READ MORE

  • What is the best way to heal a sprained knee?

    Like all ligament injuries (sprains), the affected area needs rest and maybe short term immobilization, then a gradual return to exercise. The term “sprained knee” is very general term, you may need to see an orthopedic surgeon for eval and more precise diagnosis, maybe even an MRI scan to be exactly precise. Good luck. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for a broken fibula to heal after surgery?

    Like any small bone, 6-8 weeks is minimum. Too much activity, fracture at or near the ankle joint can prolong that time. READ MORE

  • Can you walk after bunion surgery?

    There are several “bunion procedures,” from simple bunionectomy to 1st metatarsal osteo Tony & correction of the Hallux valgus which often is present with bunions. The simple surgery will keep you non weight bearing 2-4 wks, the more complex surgery will require 6+ wks non weight bearing. READ MORE

  • What could be causing my son's back pain?

    Muscle strain is most likely, but if Ibuprofen 400 mg twice daily at meals for a week does not take care of it, yes, he should see an orthopedic surgeon for evaluation and X-ray possibly. READ MORE

  • What's the difference between scoliosis and kyphosis?

    The terms both describe abnormal curve patterns in the spine. They can range from very mild, almost unnoticeable, to more severe, possibly requiring surgery at some point. The terms have to do with the direction the spine curves. Think of standing behind someone and looking at their back. Kyphosis is just an accentuated straight forward bend in the upper back (thoracic) region. Scoliosis is an S shaped curve, right to left or left to right, and can be in the upper back or lower back (lumbar) region, or involve both. Working on posture can improve kyphosis when mild; scoliosis is not usually correctable without surgery, but is only needed when severe. READ MORE

    Usually from a neurological (nerve related) or vascular (circulation related) cause. You may need to go ahead and see a good neurologist to have that evaluated. READ MORE
