Well, understanding that most causes of back pain are fairly self-limited, and the pain resolves on its own within days to weeks. However, there are some situations in which a patient should see their family doctor if the back pain is persisting for more than a few weeks, if the pain is waking them up at nighttime, or if the back pain is associated with other symptoms, then definitely patients should consult their family physician.

The unhappy triad is a significant knee injury that often occurs in contact sports or motor vehicle accidents. It involves a force applied to the knee, resulting in simultaneous damage to three key structures: the medial collateral ligament (MCL), the medial and lateral meniscus, and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). To illustrate the injury, imagine this knee model. The front of the kneecap is here, the outside of the knee is on this side, and the inside of the knee is here. Symptoms of the unhappy triad may include hearing a popping sound at the time of the injury, intense pain, and swelling. There might be difficulty straightening or bending the leg, and the knee may feel unstable. A torn meniscus can cause sensations of catching or locking in the knee while walking, and putting weight on the knee can be challenging, especially when standing up from a seated position. Treatment for the unhappy triad often involves surgical intervention, particularly for the ACL and the meniscus. The MCL may be managed with non-operative treatment in some cases. Regardless of the treatment approach, a comprehensive rehabilitation process with physical therapy is crucial. Physical therapy focuses on controlling pain and swelling immediately after the injury, as well as regaining range of motion and facilitating proper tissue healing. Knee braces may be prescribed to aid in daily activities and support the rehabilitation process, helping to increase strength, range of motion, and overall function for a quicker return to normal activities. If you suspect that you have a knee injury resembling the unhappy triad, it is essential to consult with your physician or physiotherapist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Early intervention and proper rehabilitation are vital to optimize recovery and get you back to work or sports activities as soon as possible.

Dr. Bertrand Perey
, Orthopaedic Surgeon, at Cambie Surgery Centre in New Westminster, BC commented on: Living With and Treating Thumb Arthritis " Anna a 59-year-old woman with pain at the base of her right thumb ".

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition that may worsen over time if left untreated. As people age, the flexor tendons in the wrist can naturally increase in size, putting more pressure on the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. Non-surgical treatments can help slow down the progression of symptoms, but they may not completely stop it. Using a brace or splint at night to keep the wrist in a neutral position can reduce pressure on the nerve. Wearing a splint during the daytime can also be beneficial to avoid extreme wrist positions. Modifying job or recreational activities that may contribute to CTS can also help slow down the condition. Anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone injections may offer temporary relief from pain and inflammation associated with CTS, but they rarely lead to a permanent resolution of symptoms. If symptoms of CTS occur on a daily basis and non-surgical treatments have failed, surgery may be recommended. Ideally, surgery should be performed before constant numbness occurs in the hands, as this may indicate permanent nerve damage. The surgical procedure for CTS is called a Carpal Tunnel Release. It involves cutting the transverse retinacular ligament to release the pressure within the carpal tunnel. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes less than 15 minutes. Most patients do not require narcotic pain medication after surgery, and the wound is usually closed with sutures. Recovery from surgery involves avoiding soaking the wound and engaging in light washing for the first 10 to 14 days. Patients are encouraged to move their fingers actively to reduce swelling and prevent stiffness. Most patients can resume light activities within 3 weeks and heavier activities within 6 weeks. The surgical site may remain tender for several months, and deep massage is recommended after 2 weeks to accelerate scar softening. Grip and pinch strength usually return within 3 to 6 months after surgery, and intermittent symptoms of numbness typically resolve rapidly. However, if constant numbness was present before surgery, it may not completely resolve over time. Infection at the surgical site is a possible complication, but it can be treated with oral antibiotics if detected early. Any concerns should be discussed with the surgeon or a healthcare provider promptly.

Mary would definitely benefit from seeing a Nutritionist like Lisa to help her with proper eating and getting her weight slightly down to help her joints. Being even little over weight does not help in situations where the treatment of osteoporosis is having to deal with multiple things at once.
