After my L4-L5 surgery a few weeks ago, I've been having pain in both shoulders, especially the right one. What could be causing this and what should I do?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Shoulder pain post-spine surgery may be due to altered posture or nerve irritation; a physiatric or ortho review is advised.

View allI'm really worried about my wife. She recently had an X-ray of her lumbosacral spine, and they found she has sacralization of L5S1. Her back pain isnt constant, but when it does flare up, it's really intense and hard for her to handle. What kind of treatment would you recommend for something like this?
For your wife's sacralization of L5-S1, consider conservative management with physical therapy, yoga, or Pilates to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain; pain management with medications like NSAIDs or muscle relaxants as needed; and lifestyle modifications, such as maintaining a healthy weight, improving posture, and avoiding heavy lifting or bending; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult an orthopedic specialist or spine surgeon to discuss potential surgical options.

After a leg fracture, how long before someone can start playing sports again? My friend was advised to take a break for 4 weeks. Is that usually enough time?
The time it takes to recover from a leg fracture and resume playing sports or physical activities varies depending on the severity and location of the fracture, but generally, it can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks or even longer for more complex fractures, so your friend's 4-week rest period is likely just the initial phase of recovery
