Asked for male, 27 years old from Bangalore

I am 27 years old, had my first dislocation of the right shoulder in 2015. Since then I have had multiple dislocations. The last dislocation was yesterday morning and had to rush to an emergency room to put it back in the slot. Previously I have put it back on my own. But yesterday was quite terrible. Hence, consulting with you this saturday morning.

Dr. Rahul (Pt)90%(658 ratings)

Hi lybrate user , Maintaining muscle strength and flexibility can help prevent shoulder dislocations. Once your shoulder is dislocated, physiotherapy may help prevent you from dislocating it in the future. Through restoring your shoulder's range of motion and physical strength, your risk for dislocation decreases.

Asked for male, 18 years old from Allahabad

My right knee is swollen and it got fluid inside it. It's been 4 months when I first consulted with a doctor, took his medicines for 2 and half months but nothing got better, then I consulted another doctor and he prescribed me some test like hla b27 and it's negative, got vitamin b12 deficiency it's 190. He's also unable to tell what's the exact problem, currently in prayagraj and done with my mri and the results are nothing it's just my knee is swollen and that's why it's filled with the fluid. The second doctor took the water outside from my knee 2 times in a day (64 ml and 32 ml ), with the help of an injection, the problematic fact is that as soon the doctor took the fluid out, it got filled within just 10 mins. The third doctor also did the same yesterday in pryagraj after watching my mri results but nothing helped, the condition is getting worse. I got maybe every test reports a doctor needs and I just want the right medication, please help.

It looks like you are anaemic. If you have back pain after you sit for long hours then it is due to your haemoglobin levels as it is important to check that. Anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having back / leg pain though there may not be any pathological reasons for back pain. It looks like you are anaemic. And also you have to check with your vitamin and calcium, if the bones are weak then automatically the pain gets triggered more as there is less energy during any ...more

I am a 22 year old male. I had a mid-shaft oblique humerus fracture which is fixed by ss plate implant. After 10 weeks post surgery, I met with my surgeon and he said that your bone is 90% united by looking at the x-ray. I can still see an oblique gap in my humerus. I have been taking calcium supplements since surgery. Was the gap supposed to fill within 12 weeks?

“my grandmother sustained fractures in her hip and leg, which have been surgically repaired. At 90 years old, the doctor explains that her bones are taking longer to heal due to her age and their weakened state, and she’s receiving calcium injections. She has been bedridden since the incident and is feeling disheartened. We’re unsure of her recovery timeline. What can we do to uplift her spirits and help her feel better?”

Do not look sad or disheartened or struggling in front of her. Try to feel normal first yourself even if you do not. Just for her. Spend good quality time with her. May be doing prayers, discussions, watching tv. Talking. Ask her to do meditation and pranayam. Make feel loved not dependent. Then time will pass.

The kit contains a single tablet called ibandronate which can cause your symptoms. Rest all are calcium tablets only
in my opinion as you are only 26 years you do not require this medicine which is given for osteoporosis you can continue taking calcium tablet as you have already taken the single ibandronate in the kit. Nevertheless you can take vitamin d 3 60 k once a week for 2 monthhs.

My 2 year child fell down while playing and had a fracture in his hand. After seeing the x- ray report the doctor advised for a plaster and to remain empty stomach before the procedure.
