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
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI had ankle surgery for a trimalleolar fracture back in October 2014 with a plate in my fibula and screws in the ankle joint. Everything feels fine now no pain or major issues, just some slight swelling and my leg feels weaker than the other one. Is it safe to get the implants removed at this point?
Implants should be removed irrespective of whether they are causing any problems. Reasons- keeping implant in body has no extra advantage. Rather if one sustains another injury the magnitude of damage is much more with implant inside than without it. And implants are stress risers. Once your ankle implants are out by 2-3 weeks of rest is fine enough.

I'm noticing that my leg is a lot thinner compared to the rest of my body, and I'm not really feeling a lot of energy in it. I always seem to have knee pain in both of my legs. I'm really worried and not sure what to do about it. Do you have any advice?
It sounds like you're experiencing weakness and pain in your legs, which could be related to muscle weakness, poor circulation, or other health factors. It's important to consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause, and in the meantime, regular leg exercises, proper nutrition, and staying hydrated might help improve strength and reduce pain.

I have ulnar nerve subluxation in my right elbow where the nerve pops out over the medial epicondyle when I bend my arm. Every doctor I've seen recommends surgery, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help stop the nerve from moving instead
While homeopathic treatments may offer some relief from pain and inflammation associated with ulnar nerve subluxation, there is no scientific evidence to support their ability to stop the nerve from moving or reposition it. Medical professionals recommend surgery (anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve) as the most effective treatment for ulnar nerve subluxation because it addresses the underlying issue of nerve displacement and prevents further damage
