Avatar f tn I have personally evaluated patients for osteoporosis with prior overuse pelvic fractures who ultimately had normal bone density on their DXA scan. Stress fractures themselves are not indicative of osteoporosis. Fragility fractures-- which include a fracture of the hip, pelvis, wrist, spine, or shoulder sustained during a fall from standing height-- are concerning for osteoporosis.
Avatar f tn Do fractures in bones containing Bone Mets increase the spread of the cancer cells?
Avatar f tn "Stress fractures" are an injury to the bone caused by repetitive strain on the weight bearing bones. They are common in the tibia, tarsals, and metatarsals of the feet. They are one of the most common athletic injuries. They are not related to MS, but could be related to D3, calcium, and/or phosphorus metabolism issues.

Drop foot is found in some patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Parkinson's Disease. Sometimes the peroneal nerve becomes injured when stretched during hip or knee replacement surgery.
Avatar m tn Ask your doctor for a Diebetic Foot Check to find out if the pain is related to Diabetes (i.e., Peripheral Neuropathy). Medications are available only to manage the nerve pain associated with the condition.
1200310 tn?1265322110 Some times a fracture, hairline or not will not be apparent on an x-ray. However as the bone begins to heal itself calcium is deposited along the fracture line and they are more easily seen. Hope this has been helpful.
Avatar f tn Fractures are not a common thing to happen with vaginal births. If a women fractures her ribs it would more likely be caused a big increase in pressure or maybe she has some kind of bone problem. The only other kind of fractures that occur are pelvic or tailbone fractures & that is from the baby being large in size or the women is of small stature.
Avatar f tn My  20 year son has severe chronic bone pain, osteoporosis and has had multiple fractures.  We have also had bone biopsy with showed a mineralization defect(focal osteomalacia) and high turn bone turnover but these do not lend themselves to a diagnosis.  His blood levels of calcium and vit D are normal.  He received a Pamidronate infusion in October 2004 and that is when the pain began.  He was completely debilitated at that time as he is now.
Avatar f tn hello doc, i got a fracture of cuboid bone on 28 July. I went to the hospital and they applied a back slab and a POP.. I wants to know approximately in how many months my foot will be alright as it was before?? and in how many months wil i be able to wear my heel shoes??
Avatar f tn My 8 year old son hurt his ankle three weeks ago in a soccer game, after two sets of xrays showing no fractures or obvious growth plate concerns, his orthopedic doctor ordered an MRI. He was diagnosed with a mild bone contusion or bruise. The mri showed no issue with ligaments or tendons and confirmed no fractures or growth plate concerns. He has been in an immobilizing walking brace for two weeks now, going on three.....How long does something like this typically take to heal up in a child?
Avatar f tn There is no way to prevent premature ovarian failure. Women with premature ovarian failure have a higher risk of bone thinning and fractures (osteoporosis), diabetes, and heart disease. A balanced and low-fat diet, regular exercise, and not smoking can help protect your bones and heart. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar f tn Those who used levothyroxine showed an increase in fractures of the femur bone, the strongest bone of the body. The risk was not extensive, but still present. The unusual finding was that it occurred more in men than women. This was presumably due to the protective effects of estrogen in women. This study did not focus on other sites of fracture common with osteoporosis, including wrist or spinal compression fractures.
Avatar n tn Finally, 6 months after the injury, with no signs of "Bridging Bone" my Doctor has recommended surgery. As I was expecting, he is recommending the plate and screws surgery that seems to be the most common. My question now is where to get the bone for the bone graft that will be required. The options the doc gave me are either bone material from a "bone bank" or a bone graft from my own hip. Any thoughts on this? Does anyone know how painful the hip graft would be?
1699175 tn?1320125691 increased bone resorption or destruction from conditions such as bone tumors, fractures, osteoporosis and immobility; decreased excretion of calcium; renal failure; use of thiazide diuretics; hyperparathyroidism; use of lithium; use of glucocorticoids; and, adrenal insufficiency.
Avatar m tn where there is increased resorption due to bone growth, bone fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, excessive medications and gastrointestinal inflammation. Considering the above fact the raised Alkaline phosphatase levels could be because of the gastrointestinal inflammation for which you are undergoing colonoscopy. But the possibility of other diseases also needs to be considered. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.
Nicelady I just had my frist Bone scan and the office called me and said I had osteoporosis and that they called in RX for Atelvia.. I picked up the RX and was reading the information and I am concerned about the side effect of this medication. Is this the only way to help with osteoporosis? Is there anything elso another way?
Avatar m tn One begins at the orbital rim around the lefort II line and ends behind the last upper tooth and the other is about 15 mm beside that on the rim. The bone between the fractures is sunken and has been misaligned and is partly behind the nasal bone. The orbital floor is also sunken and the eye is about 3 mm down and 2-3 mm enophthalmos. I have latent strabismus inward on the eye and occational double vision, more when tired.
Avatar n tn This modality affects normal tissue surrounding the prostate, and there are cases in which there would be significant damage. Some patients are even known to have fractures from weakened bone. If all of the areas described were near the fields involved, then healing may indeed be poor.
Avatar f tn Basically, in normal bone bone formation and bone resorption are closely coupled. When the rate of resorption exceeds the rate of formation there is a decrease in bone mass. The amount of bone necessary to mechanically support the skeleton eventually falls below the fracture threshold. There are many degrees of osteoporosis and treatments available. I am not qualified to suggest a specific treatment.
