Diet For Bone Fracture Questions

Health Query

Hello, I am asking for an advice from a neurologist. (english isn't my native language apologies for the grammar). My mother had a car accident 18 years ago. Disc between c5 and c6 fractured and the content went on the spinal cord and calcified. 8 years after, she received surgery (they connected both of the vertebrae and cleaned up calcification.) her quality of life, is terrible. She doesn't leave the house, is on disability pension, does very few things, doesn't move her neck at all. Complains of the following current symptoms. - spasm throughout the abdominal region. (complete belly) - nausea in the head (this is how she describes it) - tingles, and general unwell feeling. Due to too much spare time, she spent a lot of time on the internet. Her therapy during first 10 years, was benzodiazepines. Some standard therapy dose for muscle relaxants. She read how they aren't good, so decided to withdraw on her own, resulting in abstinential crisis. Now she claims, that her gaba receptors are destroyed. And this abdominal spasm is the symptom. We have seen various doctors, they all dispute that what she is feeling is due to physical factors. One doctor mentioned that it is impossible to have full abdominal spasm due to her neck injury (that was as well operated) or even if those gaba receptors were in a way injured, that she would recover from that. There isn't any way for me to check all of this. She won't leave the house, and won't listen to any doctor. I had a call today with a neuropsychiatric, I don't know if her symptoms are something due to physical injury or she needs psychiatrist care. My question is. Can you have full abdominal spasm due to injury on c5, c6, c7. Or due to permanent damage to gaba receptors (from benzodiazepine abuse) any kind of insight helps.

C567 are localized upto the region ofoccipital protuberance (behind your neck) if she has weakness of all four limbs then you can think of c5, 6,7 involvement.

Distal radius fractures may be treated effectively by wearing a supportive cast or splint. For severe distal radius fractures, surgery may be necessary. Distal radius fracture repair with volar plate is a surgical procedure that uses metal implants, or plates, to help stabilize fractures in the radius near the wrist.

Other times, to align the bone properly, he or she will need to bend the unbroken part of the bone until it fractures completely. Then, the surgeon will immobilize the fracture in a cast for about six weeks.

Before removing the cast, the doctor will examine your limb (the part of your body where the cast was, like your arm or leg). The doctor may want to take an x-ray of the limb when it's still in the cast and check things like your pain level.

A stable, simple and isolated fracture of the ulna (secondary to a direct blow) can be treated with a cast for about four to six weeks. Your doctor will closely follow your progress with x-rays to assure nondisplacement of the fracture and proper bone healing.

Hello i'm 23 and 1 week ago I had a minor ankle fracture. After done x ray and confirming my fracture, doctors gave me a walker boot to support my ankle. Can I remove it at night/shower time? Can I start doing exercises such as making small steps, circles, up & down with the foot? For how long do I need to rear the walker boot? Thank you!

Although you should follow your doctor's advice in any situation, the normal practice is to wear the boot while sleeping. However, loosening the straps that secure the boot will increase wearing comfort and allow you to sleep better.

After the cast comes off, the immobilized body parts are going to be stiff. This is normal. If we immobilized a perfectly healthy wrist or ankle that wasn't broken, for several weeks, it would be stiff too. The stiffness will take time to work out.
