Question 1

Is there any way to reduce my carrying angle from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery? I have it in both hands and was wondering if specific exercises could help or if surgery is the only option to fix it

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's possible to reduce an excessive carrying angle (cubitus valgus) from 20 to 15 degrees without surgery, and exercises can be helpful. While surgery may be an option in some cases, yoga and physical therapy exercises can be effective in strengthening the muscles and potentially reducing the angle.

Question 2

I've been dealing with cervical issues for about a year now with symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, occasional numbness in my hands, and headaches. Can bone spurs be removed through surgery and how safe is the procedure?

Accepted Answer

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

Question 3

I've been dealing with a concern that's been bothering me for a while. When I was around 12, I started dry humping on the bed, and this went on until I was about 16. Now, I'm 24 and I've noticed my thighs and legs look thin and kind of deformed. Could there be any connection to my past habits, or is there another reason they appear this way?

Accepted Answer

_Possible Reasons for Thigh Changes_

1. *Muscle Imbalance*: Repeated dry humping might have led to overdevelopment of certain muscle groups, causing an imbalance.
2. *Poor Posture*: Frequent pressure on your thighs and legs might have affected your posture, leading to uneven muscle development.
3. *Genetic Factors*: Natural growth patterns and genetic predispositions can influence body shape and muscle distribution.

I have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?

non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.
