Listen to exactly what Mr Malik tells you. Mr Malik is very passionate about his work which means patients benefit. I highly recommend him. North Lanarkshire Leisure’s Active Health Programme in partnership with NHS Lanarkshire provides a range of supported programmes to help individuals realise the benefits of becoming more physically active whilst also assisting those who are recovering from minor or even more serious illness.

Vaccination against the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS – CoV-2) are being carried out on a world-wide scale and it is critical to monitor their safety profile and complications. The steroid is unpredictable in its success at easing painful symptoms but has very low risk of complications and therefore is an attractive therapeutic option prior to further more invasive surgical intervention. The local anaesthetic on the other hand is very predictable in its action. If there is an area of damage it will definitely ease symptoms for 12 to 48 hours. If symptoms do not ease during this period, one has to question whether the diagnosis is correct. Awad J, Moskovich R. Lumbar disc herniations: surgical versus nonsurgical treatment. Clin Orthop 2006; 443: 183–97. The local anaesthetic will cause numbness in the area injected for approximately 12 to 48 hours. This action is predictable. What is not predictable is the duration of action of the steroid. It may work for one month, several months or even more than a year.The wound is not usually painful, but you'll be given painkillers to take if you feel any discomfort after the operation. Most herniated lumbar discs resolve spontaneously. 1 – 8 Although smaller herniations may be safely treated non-operatively, massive extrusions and sequestrations are sometimes treated by operation for fear of cauda equina compression. We present the clinical and radiological outcome of 15 patients who were treated conservatively having presented with leg pain and a massive lumbar disc herniation. Patients and Methods We carry out almost all injections under a short general anaesthetic (1 minute) as injecting into a painful joint can be quite sore. While you are asleep and lying still a small needle is inserted into the joint and the position is confirmed using an x-ray in theatre. A small amount of dye is injected first to make sure the needle is in the correct spot and then a mixture of steroid and long lasting local anaesthetic is injected. Undertaking the injection in this manner ensures a pain free experience for the patient and the best outcome clinically as there is no doubt about the placement of the injection.

The operation can be done using a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) technique or a mini open procedure. Whenever possible we attempt to carry out the procedure using MIS. You will require to be strictly non weight bearing for 6 weeks. This does not mean you can walk on your heel, it means strictly that the foot cannot touch the ground. If you have the operation under general anaesthetic, there's also a very small risk of complications to your heart and lungs. I am now booked in to have the right foot operated. What was the most challenging part of having your operation? Good to excellent results can be expected in around 75% of patients in the short to mid term. Longer term results are difficult to predict. For patients not keen on a fusion or a joint replacement procedure this is a good option.The examination of shoulders with rotator cuff tears should begin with an assessment of range of motion and a neurovascular examination to assess for the integrity of axillary and suprascapular nerve function. Inspection may reveal deltoid atrophy or periscapular atrophy of the infraspinatus. Massive tears involving the infraspinatus will typically present with increases in passive internal rotation as well as an external rotation lag sign. Similarly, massive tears involving the subscapularis will often present with an increase in passive external rotation and an internal rotation lag sign. Furthermore, supraspinatus tears may demonstrate a drop arm sign. Palpation of the long head biceps tendon (LHBT) within the bicipital groove is essential during the examination, as lesions to the LHBT are strongly associated with rotator cuff tears. The surgeon must also assess for concomitant symptomatic acromioclavicular joint arthritis. Strength testing of all rotator cuff muscles is imperative. Special attention should be paid to the subscapularis, as lesions to the upper part of its tendon are often correlated with biceps tendon lesions and LHBT instability. Tests for the subscapularis include the belly press test, the lift-off test, and the bear hug test. Several management options are available but the selection of the most appropriate treatment for each patient can be challenging. To achieve the best outcomes, the orthopedic surgeon should have a good understanding of the indications, the pathomechanics and the clinical outcomes of the various treatment modalities. Many classification systems have been proposed to help in the treatment choice. DeOrio and Cofield classified massive rotator cuff tears as tears sized more than 5 cm in either the anterior-posterior or medial-lateral dimension ( 7), Gerber defined them as those involving complete tears of at least 2 tendons ( 7), whereas Davidson and Burkhart proposed a classification system linking rotator cuff tear patterns to treatment and prognosis ( 8). No consensus exists regarding the best classification system, thus it is essential to understand the tear pattern according to the patient’s clinical situation ( 9).

Do not make the bandage too tight and do not wear tubi-grip or any compression bandage in bed at night. In this study, a rotator cuff tear with Type 2 ganglion cyst was found on preoperative MRI scans of Cases 1, 2, and 3. Although Case 4 had a prior history of rotator cuff repair, the ganglion cyst was classified as Type 1, as there was no history of rehear.Steroids, often given by injection into your joint, to provide short-term relief of pain and swelling. After the procedure, a plaster is placed over the small hole in your skin. This can be removed about 6 hours after the procedure.
