i've been thinking about height increase surgery but i'm not sure how it works or what the costs would be can you explain the procedures involved and how long the whole process takes including recovery time
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Limb lengthening surgery, also known as height increase surgery, involves breaking bones and slowly lengthening them over time using a device that allows for controlled bone growth. This procedure is typically considered for individuals with bone growth abnormalities or shorter bones, but can also be considered for cosmetic purposes

View allI'm having severe pain in my right wrist when I twist it clockwise, especially right below the bone that sticks out. It gets really bad when I try to turn doorknobs. What kind of splint or cast should I be using if I want to fix this in a few weeks?
You may be experiencing a wrist sprain or strain. To help support and immobilize your wrist, a wrist splint would be beneficial in this case. You can use a wrist splint that is specifically designed to immobilize the wrist joint. Wear the wrist splint consistently, especially during activities that aggravate the pain, like turning door knobs. Additionally, you can also take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help alleviate the pain and reduce inflammation. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I have a high grade partial ACL tear with grade 2 signal intensity in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus and a grade 2 LCL sprain. I'm unsure if I need surgery my main goal is to walk normally, cycle, and run without restrictions. I don't want to feel limited, but I'll do surgery if it's absolutely necessary. Can you help me understand if surgery is the only way to get back to normal?
It's understandable to want to know if surgery is the only path to your desired recovery goals. For a high-grade partial ACL tear, a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, and a grade 2 LCL sprain, surgery is not always necessary for full recovery and returning to activities like walking, cycling, and running, according to HSS. However, your specific situation and individual factors will determine the best course of action

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.
It's understandable to be concerned, but masturbation doesn't significantly affect the healing of an ankle injury. The body prioritizes healing based on the injury's severity, and while sperm production is ongoing, it doesn't slow down the repair process of a minor injury like an ankle sprain. Focus on rest, elevation, and proper care for the ankle to aid recovery.
