My 12-year-old got a fracture in their right arm between the shoulder and elbow after a minor push during play. The X-ray showed a balloon-shaped cyst measuring 6.3x2.5x2.6 cm, and the bone isn't even visible in that area the bone wall looks really thin. The orthopedist put on a shoulder immobilizer for six weeks but didn't suggest any specific treatment or meds for the cyst. The MRI says it's a unicameral aneurysmal bone cyst. Is this cyst curable? Would they need surgery or can it be treated with medication?

In a fresh case, the fractured cyst needs surgery for bony union and treatment of cyst. First stabilisation with TENS or k-wires. Then curettage, and/or grafting if required. Now after 6weeks, if the bone has healed then there is no need for surgery. Next Steps share x-rays if you can. Health Tips Prevent trauma on pathological side as the cyst light fracture again.

View allI've been having a tough time with this back muscle catch for the last three days. It's really making it hard for me to turn, bend, or even get a good night's sleep lying flat. I'm starting to worry because I have some family events coming up and I really need to be in good shape for them. Are there any treatments or home remedies you can suggest to help me out?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms in your back. To help relieve the pain and improve your mobility, you can try taking a muscle relaxant such as Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg three times a day. Additionally, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. For home remedies, you can apply a heating pad to the affected area for 15-20 minutes several times a day to help relax the muscles. Gentle stretching exercises and massages can also be beneficial in relieving muscle tension. Make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I fell off my bike two months ago and have been dealing with sacroiliac pain since then is it possible to heal this completely without needing surgery or will I have to consider going under the knife?
A traumatic event such as a car accident, fall, or a sudden twisting motion can lead to SI joint pain. Like other injuries to the body, this may heal on its own over time. However, if the pain persists for longer than three months, then it may be time to seek treatment.

Can someone help me understand if surgery is really needed based on this MRI report? The person is currently on meds but the doctor hasn't recommended physiotherapy yet just exercises. The neck pain started in April and keeps coming back, even shooting down to the right arm. Why would the doctor only suggest exercises and not physio?
kindly share report
