For your mother -age doesn't matters if all her biological parameters are fine.
After knee replacement surgery, you should not pivot or twist on the involved leg for at least six weeks. Also during this time, when lying in bed, you should keep the involved knee as straight as possible. Kneeling and squatting also should be avoided soon after knee joint replacement surgery.

Hello, can any one tell me. How laser treatment helps to remove stitch marks (scars. And what is the cost of treatment in India.

Dr. Kuldeep Singh91%(2498 ratings)

MBBS, MD - MD- Skin & VD

Dermatologist•Ahmedabad

Laser treatment uses powerful fractional laser technology to reduce the look of scars without harming surrounding skin.
It is a non surgical method.
Laser scar treatment uses short pulses of micro-fine laser light to reach deeply into the skin's sub-layers, treating the support structure.
The cost depends on the type of scar.
It can be removed in mere 5000 rupees or it may even take 50, 000 to get rid of them if the area is big.

1. Apply a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar directly on the scar.
2. Gently massage the area so that the apple cider vinegar can be absorbed fully by the scar.
3. Allow the apple cider vinegar to dry up on its own.
4. Once you are sure that it is dry, repeat the process.
5. This can be done several times. Results can be seen after about a month of doing this process every day.

Best treatment for stitch mark removal is fractional co2 laser. Try some topical retinoid based creams first. Then go for laser. Get a consultation and prescription from a dermatologist.

Diabetes and knee replacement: diabetes can increase the risk of complications during surgery, including knee replacement surgery. However, many people with well-controlled diabetes can undergo knee replacement surgery safely. It's essential for your mother to discuss her diabetes management with her healthcare provider and the orthopedic surgeon who will perform the knee replacement. They will assess her overall health and determine if she is a suitable candidate for surgery. Close monitoring o...more

Health Query

Re: constant tension in joints (female, 25) I am writing this in the hopes that someone will be able to recommend treatments I can pursue or the type of professionals I should see. My problem is that I experience tension in my joints (most commonly shoulders and elbows, sometimes ankles and wrists) at almost all times of the day. The only times I feel relief are when I am doing something I enjoy which is very distracting or when receiving physical touch like a massage. I have been experiencing these feelings since 2015 (my last year of high school). I have had long periods of relief or no symptoms in the past, but for the last year it has been a problem almost every single day. I have been to an ot and a physio for treatment in the past, but neither has had significant effects. I was recently diagnosed with gout and have been taking process for over a month now, but the problem is still there. I also have hypermobility in my joints. My other daily medications are: glucophage, fluanxol, epitech, camcolit, indoblok (as needed) and stream (as needed). I do suspect that the tension is psychosomatic to some degree, because of the fact that I don't experience it when I am doing something fun. But the second I do start to feel it, I fixate on the feeling and it only gets worse (fixating and ruminating are common for me because of my anxiety). If you have any idea what treatments/avenues I should pursue, please advise me. I feel that my quality of life is being affected and am desperate to resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and help.

Gouty arthritis problem
since I am a physiotherapist I cannot suggest medicine but I suggest you to hotwater fermentations that would help you to get relieved from joint pains. I also suggest you to go for good ayurvedic body massage which would help you to get relieved from joint pain and also swimming activity is advisable. But food precautions, it is better to avoid tamarind in the food rather to add lime or mango.

Hyperkalemia can cause junctional rhythm and brady. Other causes are symptomatic rbbb, lbbb and/or bifascicular block.
In certain persons brady is normal and not a cause of concern.
Beta antagonists also lower heart rate. Hypothyroidism and congenital heart disease are other causes.
Cardiac evaluation, holter monitoring, serum electrolytes and drug history are required.
