One of the most common concerns among patients undergoing joint replacement surgery is that they would not be able to perform all they are accustomed to - at least for a few days or weeks. Although this is a common concern, for some people, the prospect of losing their freedom is more difficult to bear than the surgery itself. The prospect of being unable to drive, for example, would be a difficult pill to swallow. Getting Back on Track Although advances in technology, like as minimally invasive methods, have helped patients heal faster and return to driving sooner, the best orthopaedic doctor in Newt own says that there are a number of factors that impact one's recovery period, including the individual condition, the surgery, and the joint itself. Here are some examples of circumstances that will affect when you can drive again: ·          Your physical condition prior to surgery ·          Your ca...

  Joint Pain and Discomfort - Overview Damage to the cartilage, which can be caused by a variety of underlying disorders, may be the cause of persistent joint discomfort. Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the two most common causes of joint discomfort. Minor repetitive traumas, joint cartilage stress, or inheritance are all common causes of arthritis, says a renowned orthopaedic doctor in Newtown . What are the Underlying Causes Osteoarthritis develops as the cartilage that protects the joints wears down over time. Swelling, discomfort, stiffness, tenderness, and a reduced range of motion are all symptoms of this condition. Cartilage wears away as the illness progresses, forcing bones to rub together. The most common cause of knee and hip replacement surgery is osteoarthritis. The immune system targets the joints in rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease. As a result, swelling, pain, stiffness, exhaustion, and fever develop due to inflammation and fl...

 Lyme Disease - Overview The number of tick (small spider-like insects that attach to the skin of humans and other animals) bites and cases of Lyme disease increase as the weather gets hotter. Lyme disease is caused by microorganisms called Borrelia burgdorferi , a bacteria that is transmitted by a deer tick bite. According to the best orthopaedic surgeon , early Lyme disease symptoms include fever, tiredness, and, in some cases, a bullseye rash called erythema migrans. How does Lyme Disease affect Joints If an early infection is undetected or is asymptomatic and untreated, the disease can progress to the heart, nerves, brain, and even the joints, resulting in Lyme arthritis (joint inflammation). Lyme arthritis most usually affects one joint, generally the knee, and appears as pain and swelling without any injury or damage, explains the orthopaedic specialist in North Kolkata . According to the orthopaedic specialist, as Lyme disease spreads, patients experience heated, s...

  Osteopenia is defined as a decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) that is not severe enough to be categorised as osteoporosis. The level of minerals in the bones is measured by BMD, which indicates how thick and strong they are. Osteopenia occurs when you have low BMD (with a T-score ranging from -1.0 to -2.5 in bone density test), says a well-known orthopaedic surgeon in North Kolkata . As people become older, their bones naturally thin out. After reaching peak BMD at around 30 years of age, everyone begins to lose bone mass. The longer it takes to develop osteopenia beyond the age of 30, the thicker your bones are. Some patients with osteopenia do not experience bone loss. They may just have a decreased bone density due to genetics. Osteopenia and osteoporosis are significantly more common in women than in men. Causes of Osteopenia The following factors, as listed by the best orthopaedic doctor , can lead to osteopenia in both men and women: ·     ...

Overview – Shoulder Bursitis The shoulder is an inherently unstable ball and socket joint. The ball is attached to the little muscles called rotator cuff muscles, as well as ligamentous structures that surround the joint. These muscles and tissues aid in aligning and stabilising the humeral head within the glenoid or socket. A bursa (derived from the Latin word "purse") sits atop these muscles. It is a fluid-filled sac that serves to lubricate and nourish the underlying muscles in order to reduce tissue friction. With certain shoulder postures, the space in which the bursa rests can shrink, producing compression of this tissue, says the shoulder treatment doctor in North Kolkata . Shoulder Bursitis and Pain Patients commonly report shoulder pain in the overhead position, pain when reaching out, and night pain when sleeping on the affected side. Due to referred pain that radiates down from where the bursa is positioned, the discomfort usually occurs on the side of ...
