I've been having mild pain in my left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using my phone or laptop for a while. I already have ulnar nerve subluxation in my right elbow and surgery is planned for that, but this left side pain is different no tingling or subluxation, just discomfort that eases with massage. Could this be related to overuse or something else I should be concerned about

The mild pain in your left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using your phone or laptop, could be related to overuse or a similar condition to your right elbow's ulnar nerve subluxation, but without the tingling or subluxation. While it's different from your right elbow, it's still worth investigating. Since it eases with massage, it may be a less severe form of nerve irritation or muscle strain. However, it's wise to consult with a doctor or physical therapist to rule out other potential issues and get personalized advice.

I've been dealing with a femur fracture from two months ago and had ORIF surgery. After about six weeks, I began walking with the help of a stick, and recently, around 23 days ago, I started walking without any support as my orthopedic consultant advised. The thing is, I'm still limping and there's an imbalance with my affected leg. How can I recover from this and get back to walking normally without a limp?
It is common to experience limping and imbalance while walking after a femur fracture and ORIF surgery. To help improve your balance and achieve normal walking, you can try physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around your hip and thigh. Additionally, you can take pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort. Your doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine to help with muscle spasms. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
