I fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI've been dealing with tailbone pain for 2 years and my X-ray shows an anterior subluxation of the coccyx. I've tried NSAIDs, sitz baths, coccyx cushions, and physiotherapy like IFT and ultrasound with no relief. I don't want to go for ablation, injections, or surgery at my age. Is internal manipulation by an experienced ortho specialist an option for this kind of coccyx issue? Looking for someone who's handled similar cases before
Apollo is best for it.

My left elbow was fractured when I was a kid but didn't heal properly, so now my arm isn't straight. If I get surgery to fix it, will it look and feel natural? Is surgery a good long-term solution for this?
Yes, surgery can be a good long-term solution for a malunion (incorrectly healed) elbow fracture. The goal is to realign the bone and improve function. While surgery can significantly improve the look and feel of your elbow, it's unlikely to be completely natural, and some limitations in range of motion or strength are possible

I'm a 41-year-old woman with obesity and just had a complete ACL tear. It's been two weeks and my ortho said surgery isn't urgent could even wait a year. How long until I can walk normally again? I'm not super active but love swimming, walking, and dancing will I still be able to do those without surgery?
First of all, acl ligament tear will not heal by its own ..ligament recreconstruction is the only solution in your case and also then only u can carry out your sports type activities. Second thing waiting for such a long time is not advisable as internal derangement may lead to medial meniscus tear and early arthritis changes due to cartilage erosion..so better to go for arthroscopic acl reconstruction as soon as possible till that time keep doing quadriceps strengthening excersises andROM excersises that will help you in post operative rehabilitation.
