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.

My brother broke his leg bone into two or three pieces and already had surgery. Now the doctors are suggesting another surgery to insert a rod or plate. What's the difference between using a rod versus a plate for his bone and is one better than the other for his situation?
In fracture repair, rods and plates both serve to stabilize broken bones and aid in healing. Rods are typically inserted into the center of the bone, while plates are secured to the outside of the bone with screws. The best choice depends on the specific fracture, the location of the break, and the surgeon's preference
