Thank you very much- i spent the day having xrays and a total bone scan, they said that my RSDS would show over activity -it was related to a crushed subtalor (sp) .So based on those results i guess she will refer me from there. i appreciate your speedy respone, and i am asking my GP to send me to a neurologist, as i did not know it was a neurological disorder. thanking you very much.

Hello!
I can see your X-ray but an X-ray on the present day would give you the best diagnosis.
Clavicle fractures Fractures across a growth plate heal by themselves and you just need a sling bandage or a figure of 8 bandages.
There are some instances of gross displacement of the fracture ends where there is malunion/non union where an open reduction and internal ...

Hello!
You would need to diagnose any stress fracture Fractures across a growth plate by going for an X-ray. It might be pain at the insertion of the quadriceps tendon just below the knee joint.
With increased body weight even a twist, jump or fall will cause pain and tear in the tendon or will see some involvement of the ligaments in the knee joint.
I would suggest ...

Hello!
You can also go for an MRI to rule out any ligament Anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury Tendon vs. ligament , muscle or tendon Tendon repair involvement.
You can continue walking, cycling but restrict from horse Horse chestnut riding till you are symptomfree.
Take care!

Hello!
The positive thing with you is the healing was good at the head of the femur so the problem is with the shaft where there was a fracture.
As you had complications during physiotherapy this might be a reason but with proper support and also with bone grafts this must aid in healing.
The healing depends on proper blood supply to both the fractured ends and also how ...

Hello!
I would suggest you to get your lateral collateral ligament checked as you might have sprained or injured it while playing sports or you might have twisted it or had some fall recently.
You should also check your quadriceps and hamstrings for any sprain.
You can use some ice packs on the affected area, rest and also can take some pain killers.
I would also ...

Hello!
Not at all necessary to have surgery as you have to:
1) Confirm having ligament Anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury Tendon vs. ligament tear by an MRI
2) Grade the tear
3) Conservative treatment should be started and if it fails then you may need surgery and also for Grade III injuries of ligament tears.
Take care!
