Have you heard about the word - “Osteoporosis”
‘Osteoporosis’ means ‘Porous bone.’
The disease often develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is usually not discovered until the weakened bones cause painful fractures.
Osteoporosis is responsible for more than two million fractures each year, and this number continues to grow.
We all have our aeging parents and grandparents at home.
Let us come together and take steps,
Osteoporosis is very much treatable.
Come forward and actively take measures to prevent osteoporosis and falls.
Lend your hand to those who taught you to walk.
A beautiful poem on Osteoporosis!.
My bones are old, so I’ve been told;
It’s osteoporosis.
Accepting that if I go splat
I’m done – that’s the prognosis.
So when it’s cold, I’m not so bold
To walk if streets are icy.
One little slip may crack my hip;
To chance it might be dicey.
And so today, I had to weigh
Conditions ‘fore my journey
Or I’d go whoosh, land on my t**h
And end up on a gurney.
My normal route I was astute
Enough to see could trip me
So I took stock and ‘round the block
I walked and I was slip-free.
When I was young, I must have clung
To thoughts of never aging
But now, alas, I watch my ass
And every step I’m gauging.

An extremely common problem in people using their fingers for repetitive gripping action, commoner in women and in anyone with diabetes. Do check out our post on Trigger finger.
Trigger finger is a condition in which one of your fingers gets stuck in a bent position. Your finger may bend or straighten with a snap — like a trigger being pulled and released.
Total knee Replacement is one of the most common surgeries performed to relieve joint pain in patients with end‐stage osteoarthritis. However, this surgery is followed by moderate to severe postoperative pain that may affect post-surgical rehabilitation, patient satisfaction, and overall outcomes.
Just with the fear of pain, many patients may not opt in for this surgery.
Now, with the availability of the multi-modal analgesia regimens, the post operative pain may be reduced to near minimal, providing significant comfort in the post operative period.
Do discuss regarding multi-modal analgesia with your operating surgeon when opting in for this surgery.
