I had a jammed finger in my thumb and it hurt like hell and became swollen, it hurt for many weeks but I decided to ignore the pain not telling everyone hoping it would go away, many times throughout the week when play basketball in secondary school I hit it straight on which caused further pain and discomfort. It healed but took a long time😅
Hey sir, could you help me to get job as a medical biller
After 2 months of hyperextension injury of a phalanx articulation a hard bump is present what can we do.? There is a limitation in complete flexión of finger too. And no fracture in x ray…
Doctor i had distal radius fracture and fixed with k wires and external fixator removal, after 6 week its been removed but i can't do wrist rotation, also i have tingling and numbness in index finger and thumb. Is it a nerve issue, I have started physiotherapy, will my tingling and numbness issue get resolved and i wanted to know what's reason behind wrist stiffness. In physiotherapy when stimulation is given index and nerve finger issue is resolved but after sometime again nerves get streched, also if i rub in wrist area where external rod were drilled i fell sensation

Okay so i am young 17 year old my leg is broken from upper part of knee and like theres a part in there where i have to no bone doctors says that ur bone will grow is that true? And i smoke pod e cigarettes is it a big problem
How hard can I push a broken Talus (Left)? I'm fully healed, with all external support removed. Left the 5 screws and 2 plates inside. Both legs are weaker and tight but its been 3 years ( Had a set back and had to do another operation so I was down for 6 months, everytime I try to workout or run it hurts to the point I can't walk properly. Ive gained 75lbs. I had it checked and the X-ray said I'm fine. Do you think I should just push it and Ignore the pain and less flexibility?
What is the best approach to healing it, Dr? I have tried immobilizing my wrist with a cast, and pain resurfaces. I do type for work, and have tried to minimize how much I type. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Just have taken my cast off and am practising hand exercises to build my strength up, is it normal to experience slight pain from time to time?
Yes
Hello i am guitar player from albania and i have that broken scaphoid 10 years now. Can i fix this?
Përshëndetje 👋 10 years!! I broke my scaphoid and radius 3 weeks ago. I was hoping it would be better in 6 weeks.
I broke my scaphoid and ruptured every tendon in my wrist playing college ball. Had 3 major surgery’s 2 diffrent doctors and they finnaly gave up and said they couldn’t fix it. They wanted to wait until I get a fusion since I’m so young. Well that was 4 years ago and my wrist is now in more pain and I’m fearing I might need a fusion any way I could get in contact with tact with you to discuss more ?
I've had a failed surgery for 17 years. Just get used to your wrist hurting like a bitch. Learn to use your other hand more.
I broke my scaphoid 25 years ago and only found out last year it was misdiagnosed i now have a non union dead scaphoid bone and arthritis in my wrist with poor mobility you should try yoga gentle stretching is all that helps me it

I’m just trying to figure out weather I can make a fist and do pushups like that with a complete scaphoid fracture and not bend the break or relocate the broken parts of the bone? Anyone know really don’t want to stop training my chest and shoulders for 6 weeks.. only Been 5 days since the break and it has healed a lot I can carry a gallon of milk around with out any pain almost no swelling left all I have been doing for it is keeping it mostly immobile and pumping as much blood through my arms as I can to keep fresh blood oxygen and nutrients flowing ontop of doing as much as I can to pump lymph through the Body to try to accelerate my healing.. if not doing well ima get blood tests done and get bpc-157 injections and see if I can find some guidance on how I can do prp injections… no surgeons touching my skin. Hgh was a thought but I’m only 25 might be a bit early in life also not willing to do test and be stuck on it for rest of my life prayer and my best stab I think is my approach… will doing push ups with a balled fist fuck up my scaphoid with it being snapped in 2 ?
Thanks for the comment! While I can’t advise you on your specific case without all the details, I can give some general information. It takes at least 6 weeks for a scaphoid fracture to heal at minimum. One of the residual effects of this type of fracture is a decreased ability to bend the wrist all the way back. It’s a limitation that can come with the injury even after it heals. Hope that helps you!
@@DrKermitMuhammadIn my case, i thought it was sprain and it got better. But after 2y year++, there was lingering pain. I went to local clinics for few times as i thought i need to get an xray due to this lingering pain and the doctors just brush it off as either muscle pain and just gave ointments or pills. One of the clinic i went to do an x ray, the doctor reasoned that he cant see any "deformities" so there is no need for X-ray. Then, i decided to get it done in a hospital, and it was an non union scaphoid fracture. From the xray, apparently the doctor said there were bone debris from the fracture which affect blood flow, and they did surgery to remove and clear debris and fix a screw to joint the gaps between the bones with the hopes it will grow and merge, if i understood his explanation correctly
Best thing i can recommend let it heal try yoga to realign the non union tumeric massage keep the blood flowong in area once i stopped my job in lockdown thats when i had issues
Why do they call it a jammed finger, because if it's jammed you wanna pull on it and that can worsen kt
You know, it depends on where you live and what term is used for this kind of injury. When I was doing my hand fellowship in Pittsburgh the patients called it a “stoved” finger. Doc I stove my finger…. 🤷♂️ Imagine that!
@@DrKermitMuhammad make ya think they burnt their finger😂
Never thought people actually treated it
With a name like Kermit you should be wearing green scrubs.
Football is actually what lead to me getting surgery 7 months later after a fractured scaphoid 😅
I got the same injury, now 5 months gone by, I can move n work my wrist as normal without pain but can’t put body weight on a bend angle like push up. Was it similar to your case?
@@thanimalayali4514 same brother, Do you got any idea how it's gonna heal??
@@VishalXT I cannot do push ups, even after surgery it is pretty difficult to bend the wrist to an angle. But it was worth it since arthritis is way worse than surgery.
@@thanimalayali4514 my surgery was in January and I got the cast taken of in February. My bone healed pretty quick because of a bone graft that was taken to fix the fracture.
@@yahillo the mess we bring ourselves into😔
So, what you do for it?
Click bait smh
It’s not
My docter wants me to do physical therapy for flexibility after being in a cast for 6 weeks. Ik had a scafoide operation and the bone is not fully healed. Am I supposed to move it this much already? I have 6 screws in it
i broke my 5th metacarpal at the base not the neck. but my knuckle still doesn’t show and my finger isn’t the same as my other hand. them dumbass doctors dont want to fix it but its not comfortable for me and sadly put me in a depression state and i just want to go now.
Try surgical osteomy. They break it and repogition it. It'll take like 1-2 years to gain flexibility bcak
Thank you so very much for posting this! I totally flicked up my middle finger! Nice to know I'm not the only one and have a name for what I tore. I've had it splinted since it happened last week and it is progressing nicely. Cheers
Mine hurt like hell. Dr refused to numb me as he ripped 6 inch pins out with pliers. I fired him on the spot.
If there is no therapy how would you be able to get your strength back? Thank you
Great video! Keep it up Would you like to be CZcams friends? :)
