tired and i'm awake

fandom: Chicago Med

pairing: Connor Rhodes x Reader

summary: You've kept your chronic pain a secret from Connor since you started dating. But fate has other plans for you, and an untimely accident leads to him finding out about your condition.

tags/warnings: angst, injury, burns, hurt/comfort, chronic pain/illness

word count: 3024

a/n: this one's for all my EDS/POTS combo girlies

When you were young, the doctors said it was “growing pains.” That eventually it would go away, that it was only temporary, take an Advil.

Then you got older, and it was your period. Even though the pain was constant and all over, somehow every doctor put it down to your cycle. Sure, it was worse when you were menstruating, but it didn’t disappear when you weren’t.

Sometimes, you were “making it up” or “drug seeking.” ER visits, annual physicals, all proved fruitless. Eventually, it was all just too much to handle. The constant doctors’ visits, the unending questions with no answers. You’re tired.

Even when you lay on the bathroom floor, curled around yourself and sobbing, you refuse to go to the doctor. You know it won’t amount to anything, just another bill and insurance paperwork. You manage on your own with 3 extra strength Tylenol or a heating pad or just laying in bed until it mostly subsides. Then you can get up and pretend to be okay again.

So, it was a bit of a surprise to everyone who knows of your issues when you started dating a surgeon. Hell, you even surprised yourself. But Connor is… different. He’s kind and understanding and patient. Still, your previous negative experiences prevent you from telling him about the chronic pain you experience, or any of the other problems that come along with it.

You’ve been dating now for about six months and you couldn’t be happier. Connor’s hours are busy and long, but you look forward to the end of every day when you can see him. Even if it means putting on a brave face when your joints ache. You moved in together about a month ago, and it’s a little harder to hide the pain now, but you manage. You don’t want to be just another patient for him to deal with.

Today, you have a feeling it’s going to be a little more difficult to put on your façade. Your knees and hips have been acting up lately. Everything feels… a bit looser than usual, like the tissues between your joints are made of thin string, ready to break at any movement. Each movement feels as though you’re going to rip yourself apart, limb from limb. It’s all you can do not to cry out when you finally pry yourself out of bed in the morning. Connor is already gone, having left sometime in the middle of the night, off to work his shift at the ED. You hope beyond hope that the pain will have subsided by the time he gets home tonight.

You hope that maybe a warm bath with some Epsom salts will help, and take short, shuffling steps to the bathroom, walking near the wall just in case. Each footfall sends shooting pain up your legs. You grit your teeth and manage to make it to the toilet, sitting down and reaching to turn the tap on the bath. Breathing in and out slowly, you remind yourself that you have this under control. You will survive this, it’s just pain. It’s just pain.

You stare as the tub fills with water, trying your best to compartmentalize and clear the pain away. Mind over matter, that’s what your mother always says. Easy for her, when she’s not the one in pain.

Feeling as though you might break with any sudden moves, you lower yourself into the warm bath, closing your eyes as the water surrounds you. It’s calming and smells like eucalyptus.

You linger until the water is cooled and your joints begin to protest from staying in one position too long. You wrap a fluffy robe around yourself, a gift from Connor after he saw the old ratty one you’d been using for years. It’s luxurious and soft, and probably cost him the equivalent of an entire week’s salary for you. Perks of dating a surgeon, you suppose.

Just standing has you feeling lightheaded, and you can feel your heart beating in your ears. For a moment the room darkens as spots fill your vision, but you just breathe in deeply until it subsides. Then you continue to take small steps back out to the bedroom, before placing yourself gingerly on the comforter.

Once you’re still and laying down, the pain begins to creep back in with force. It just reminds you that as much as you want to, you can’t ignore it. You can compartmentalize and convince yourself all you want, but you’re stuck with this.

Now, along with your hips and knees, your back and neck have begun to ache from sitting upright in the tub. You sigh and curl onto your side, your wet hair clinging to your neck. Five minutes, you tell yourself. Then I’ll get up and get dressed and dry my hair and… God, it’s all so much. How are you ever supposed to get all of that done when you feel like this? Still, you reprimand yourself and promise only five minutes of rest. Just until the aching diminishes somewhat.

You wake to the sound of the door unlocking. Night has fallen outside the window, leaving the apartment bathed in darkness.

So much for five minutes.

Connor walks in, looking tired and worn out, but still wearing a smile when he spots you curled up on the bed. You smile back, still groggy from your extended nap.

“Hey sweetheart,” he murmurs, setting his bag down before taking a seat next to you. “How was your day?”

“Good,” you lie easily. “How was work?”

Connor smooths some errant hairs away from your forehead before placing a soft kiss there. “Busy. But good. Did you shower? Your hair’s still wet.”

A fierce blush makes its way up your cheeks as you avoid his eyes. “Took a bath. I guess I just passed out after. Baths always take it out of me,” you half-joke.

Connor’s brow furrows and you can immediately sense the switch into “doctor mode.” He places the back of his hand on your forehead again. “Are you feeling okay?”

“I’m fine,” you reassure, pulling his hand down to your lips to plant a gentle kiss on his knuckles. “Do you want dinner? I can make something.” The ache in your joints begins to make itself known again, but you want to do something nice for Connor. You know how tired he is after his shifts.

“Sure,” Connor replies, but he’s still looking at you with concern.

You slowly sit up, trying to school your expression as something pinches in your hip. “Spaghetti? I think we have some noodles leftover from the other night; I can just make a quick sauce.”

Connor nods and stands with you. “I’m gonna go shower,” he states while pulling you into a loose hug. “Do you need anything before I go?”

You shake your head and breathe him in. He smells like the hospital, but underneath that is the gentle scent of his cologne that always relaxes you. “No, you go. I can handle it.”

Connor releases you and makes his way to the bathroom while you head to the kitchen. You feel incrementally better than this morning, the pain in your back and neck thankfully lessened. Your hips are the worst now, and the right one especially feels tenuous. Each step is shaky, but you push through it.

You’re grateful for the distraction of cooking as you work on dinner, but it’s not enough to totally take away the pain. As you stand over the stove you can still feel the pulsing in your knees, the unsteadiness in your hips, and the ache in your back is returning. You barely suppress a groan as your right hip nearly gives out.

Seconds later, the door to the bathroom opens, and Connor exits with just a pair of jeans slung low on his hips. For a moment you’re tempted to stop cooking altogether and take him right back to bed. But then your right hip protests yet again, and the thought quickly flees. You shoot Connor a smile as he comes up behind you to wrap his arms around your waist. His chin rests on your shoulder and you tense imperceptibly. Illogical as it may seem, you’re worried maybe he’ll… feel your pain or something, if he gets too close.

“Smells good,” Connor murmurs, kissing the side of your neck.

“Grab some plates,” you reply, stirring the spaghetti sauce one more time before turning off the heat.

Connor’s arms leave you and you let out a breath. You grab some potholders from a nearby cabinet and pull the sauce off the stove.

As you make your way over to the table, your hip begins to feel even more unsteady than before. Each step is agony as you grip the saucepot, praying that your leg doesn’t give out now. Connor’s back is to you when suddenly you step wrong. Instantly, you feel a popping sensation in your hip and you stumble.

The pot goes flying, splattering sauce all over you and the kitchen. You crumble to the floor, a short cry leaving your lips. The sauce burns your thighs, uncovered thanks to the robe you still wear, but all you can feel is the burning pain in your hip. It feels… wrong.

It’s not exactly a new experience. A few years ago – with no help from your doctors – you finally realized that this type of pain means something is dislocated. In this case, your hip. It’s one of the worst to dislocate, since you have trouble getting it back in place on your own.

Connor immediately rushes toward you, calling your name in panic. “Are you okay? Oh god, what happened?”

You grit your teeth to stop from crying out again as you right yourself with your leg out in front of you. Your hand grips your right thigh, the pain from your dislocated hip shooting down your leg and making your toes numb.

Connor’s already pulling out his phone to call 911, obviously only seeing the burns on your legs from the hot sauce.

You reach out to grab his wrist to stop him from dialing. “I’m fine,” you insist, tears brimming in your eyes.

Connor levels you with a glare that would make anyone give in. “You just spilled scalding sauce all over yourself. You’re at least getting checked out at the ED.”

“Okay, okay, but… Can’t you just drive me?”

He must hear the pleading tone in your voice because he sets his phone down with a sigh. “Fine,” he surrenders. “Let’s get you cleaned up first so I can take a look.”

You nod as he stands to retrieve towels. Once his back is turned, you take mental stock of your hip. It doesn’t feel too badly dislocated, but it certainly needs to be put back sooner rather than later. Before you get a chance to do it yourself, Connor returns with wet towels. He immediately gets to work gingerly cleaning your skin. You can tell that you’ve at least got first-degree burns, maybe even second in some places. But you can’t get past the pain in your hip. If you could just get a moment alone so you could reset it…

You notice that Connor’s movements have stopped and you look to see what he’s doing. His brows are furrowed as he looks at your right leg, now clean of the sauce. “Doesn’t look too bad, but I still want to go to Med just to be sure. And…” Suddenly his eyes widen and his hands rest delicately on either side of your leg. You can’t help but flinch at the touch. “It looks like your hip is dislocated… God, that must hurt. Did you hit it on the ground when you fell?”

You bite your lip and shake your head. “It’s nothing,” you insist.

“Y/N,” Connor’s voice is firm. “We need to get this reduced. I’m calling an ambulance,” he says, pulling out his phone once more.

“No!” you cry. “I can take care of it!” Before he can stop you, you bend your knee outward, making a half-butterfly shape with your legs, then push down on it with your hands. Your hip pops back into place with an audible click and the relief is instant.

Connor is silent for a long moment as he stares at you, mouth agape.

You speak before he can, blabbering without much sense. “It’s fine, it happens a lot. I’m okay, I promise.”

Your boyfriend’s eyes are wide with concern and empathy. “What do you mean?” he whispers.

You shrug and take the wet towel from his hand, continuing to wipe off the sauce from your other thigh. This one’s not as bad as your right, but it’s still painful. “Nothing, Connor. I just… It happens sometimes, okay? Dislocating things, it’s not new to me.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Connor’s voice is so full of hurt that you immediately regret keeping this from him.

“I don’t know,” you murmur, meeting his eyes. The tears in your own begin to fall down your cheeks. “I just… I’ve always dealt with it on my own. I didn’t want you to have to deal with it too. And I didn’t know if you’d believe me, no one ever believes me, and I didn’t want to lose you because of my broken body…” You’re rambling now, the adrenaline and pain making your words come out jumbled.

Connor scoots over to sit next to you, uncaring of the sauce that’s getting on his jeans. His arm wraps around you gently, and already you can feel that he’s treating you differently. Touching you like you’re… fragile. “Y/N… I would never not believe you about something like this. Have you gone to the doctor about it?”

A sob leaves your lips and you smile sarcastically. “Of course, I have, Connor. I’ve been to so many doctors and none of them have any answers. It’s always growing pains, or my period, or I’m faking it. Eventually I just gave up because, like I said, I can deal with it on my own.”

Connor is silent for a long while. Finally, he lifts your chin with his finger so you’re forced to meet his eyes. “You don’t have to deal with it on your own now. We’re together, and that means we tell each other these things. I won’t leave you because of something you can’t control, sweetheart. And I want you to find answers. We can find them together. Okay?”

You nod and Connor goes to dial 911 again. As he’s on the phone with the operator, you let the tears fall. The pain of the burns is finally hitting you, only adding to the existing pain you already feel. Connor’s words mean everything to you, but right now that’s all they are – words. How can you know he’ll stay with you after he finds out what this really is like? The constant pain, the days spent in bed, the agony of it all? How could anyone – how could Connor – ever want someone like you?

You don’t realize that Connor is done on the phone until his hand lands on your shoulder. “Babe?” his voice is a little louder than necessary, which tells you that he’s been trying to get your attention for a while.

“Sorry,” you mutter, using the back of your hand to wipe away errant tears.

Connor takes a deep breath, and you worry about what he’s going to say. “You can talk to me, you know?”

You nod, avoiding his eyes. “I know. But this… I don’t want to be just another person you have to take care of.” The sound of sirens grows loud outside the apartment building.

“Honey. Look at me,” Connor urges, lifting your chin again. “You are not just another patient to me. You never will be. Okay?”

“You don’t know,” you whisper, your voice suddenly hoarse. “Once you know what it’s like, how much help I’ll need… I don’t know what my life will be like in 10 years, hell, even in a year. I’m in pain all the time, and I don’t know if it will get worse, and I don’t want you to be burdened with that.”

Before Connor can answer, the intercom buzzes as the paramedics request entrance. Connor stands to let them in, and you bring your sore legs up so you can bury your head in your knees. The embarrassment of it all is starting to hit you as you realize that soon you’ll be at Med, surrounded by Connor’s colleagues. No doubt he’ll want to run a myriad of tests to figure out your underlying condition, and you’re not sure you have the energy for that right now.

You hear the door opening, followed by a couple pairs of footsteps and Connor’s voice getting closer. “Female, 27, post-fall and contact with hot liquid. Superficial partial thickness burns on the thighs. Right hip dislocated but already reduced.” You hold in a snort at his medical jargon describing your silly accident.

The paramedics aren’t anyone you know, but they’re nice enough as they examine the burns and apply saline-soaked gauze. You’re embarrassed by your lack of proper clothing, but they don’t seem to mind. You’re sure they’ve seen worse than a nearly-naked woman anyway.

They ask various questions while Connor watches nearby, eyes slightly narrowed as if to make sure they don’t hurt you further. Once you’re finally loaded up onto a stretcher, he returns to your side and holds your hand in a crushing grip.

“This is really unnecessary,” you mutter at him, squeezing his hand.

Connor looks down at you with a soft smile. “Doctor knows best, sweetheart.” He plants a gentle kiss on your forehead. “Don’t worry, we won’t stay if you don’t want. As long as you get that hip x-rayed and those burns checked, I’ll be satisfied. We can figure out the rest later.”

You smile back, tears pricking your eyes again. “Thank you, Connor. For being here.”

He snorts out a laugh. “You really have to raise your standards, baby.”

So I really liked Zoom Academy for Superheros as a kid, a widely panned kids movie from 2007 starring Tim Allen. I rewatched it fairly recently and wrote a little thing, I never ended up posting it. But here it is for funsies, I've never posted any fanfic before and I have no spelling skills. I hope anyone who also remembers this weirdly dark childrens movie likes it.

Its similar to the story you know

It starts the same, a lone survivor barely 17 powerless in the desert. The bodies of three friends scattered around him and a brother gone. Nothing left to bury.

The sheer amount of nuclear energy released by the vortex jack creates finds it's way into the atmosphere. Resulting in a generation of children born with powers. Not enough to cause a fuss but the neighbours aren't too surprised when Cindy uproots a tree to shake out her frisby. Kevin down the street can make little wind gusts, Cindy's power level though is enough to catch attention.

As is Dylan's, Summers and Tuckers, when he uses it that is.

So they all end up in that miltary base. Jack with the promise of money if trains them, he rather take the carrot than stick. The jail he'd end up in probably looks less like a prison and more like a fresh ditch and bullet in the head.

The kids go of course because they're parents say so and so does the military. Their parents sign waivers and are fairly compensated for their loss. On that day they go from children to military assets, an important distinction where legality is concerned.

The story is much the same, jack is jaded, the children adjust as best they can to their environment. Holloway gives encouragement as best she can knowing she is likely sending children to die.

Better a heros death she tells herself, they'll get comic books written about them just like jack. The comic books don't mention that he's always late thinking he'll get there faster than he can, or that he's deaf in one ear, or that below the left knee he is metal.

They expose the children to gamma, of course they do. One child's life is not worth what Concussion could do. Dylan is the first. They reason better the invisible kid go crazy than one that can lift a truck. It unlocks his clairvoyance `mindsight` jack calls it. He vomits for days afterward but he does not go crazy and he does not die.

Concussion shows up before the military can dose the rest. Jacks powers reactivate to save Cindy. To this day there is still shrapnel in her arm from shards of the metal net, too small for the surgeons.

Concussion sends back the rocks that summer throws at him, most miss. One doesn't, it hits her right in the eye. Cindy thinks the eyepatch she wears after is cool so summer does mind too much.

Tucker manages a good hit in before a blast sends him into rocks that leaves him paralysed from the waist down. He always says it could be worse, if he lost an eye like summer, that would be it. God forbid the world be deprived of his baby blues.

Dylan comes out relatively unscathed. The gamma damage stays however, it was a miracle that jack lived past 40 and it will be another if he does.

Connor is saved. Thanks to jack, Concussion is just his big brother again. Still 19 and no longer trapped in a space between here and now.

Jack however, there is a reason his powers stopped working. It isn't a mental block caused by the pain of losing his family. It was self defence. The speeds he could move at weren't sustainable on his body, especially after the first vortex. So his body shut it down.

He is nearing 50, he is not 17, his body gives up. Jack is Zoom for a fight, jack gets to be Zoom once more before he drops from exertion and does not get up.

Summer and the rest take the ship and Connor. You can't track space tec, staying hidden helps when you've got a friend that can see around corners. They live in a house a little bit too small for them in a city easy to get lost in and try to adjust back to civilian life.

Connor is old enough to pose as an older brother and the kids get to go back to school. It's easier to make friends now at least, high school bullies aren't very scary anymore. Connor disappeared in the 80s so the all the technolgy is a riot. He misses he brother and blames himself for his orginal teams deaths.

The new family helps him move on. When Cindy finishes high school they move out to a farm. Summer finds business is easy when you can sense emotion, so money isn't a problem.

Cindy can lift all the heavy objects she wants. Summer loves the animals and tucker is a mean cook. Dylan learns to garden. Connor fixes stuff when it breaks and retrofits tuckers chair with tracks and others gadgets inspired by the ships design.

There is a horse named jack because he's the fastest they have and whenever the gang needs a break they go brush him. Everyone knows it means to leave them be. They all have their own demons.

They sell things at the famers market. The community is endeared if confused by the odd family. They don't ask questions, they are all out here for their own reasons and tucker makes the best pies in town.

They heal, away from the military. They are not heroes. They are a family and they are happy.

#zoom academy for superheros #I only write fanfic for obscure shit im too cool for mainstream #tim allen is still the worst guy you know even in this version #i know nuclear radiation doesnt work like but the movie thinks it does so its true in my heart #i love traumatised bitches making families

Orthopaedic Surgeon Near Me: Your Guide to Expert Care for Bones and Joints

Bone and joint problems can significantly impact your quality of life, making everyday activities challenging. Whether it’s persistent back pain, a sports injury, or a degenerative joint condition, finding an orthopaedic surgeon near me can be the first step toward effective treatment and recovery. This blog will help you understand the role of an orthopaedic surgeon, the conditions they treat, and what to look for when choosing a specialist near you.

Who is an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

An orthopaedic surgeon specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, which includes bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These professionals are highly trained in both surgical and non-surgical treatments to help patients recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions.

Common procedures performed by orthopaedic surgeons include:

Joint replacement (knee, hip, shoulder).

Arthroscopy for joint injuries.

Spine surgery for conditions like herniated discs.

Fracture repair and trauma surgery.

Ligament reconstruction (e.g., ACL).

Why Search for an Orthopaedic Surgeon Near You?

Choosing an orthopaedic surgeon near you has several benefits:

Convenience: Ongoing care and follow-up visits are often required for orthopaedic conditions. A nearby specialist ensures easy access without the burden of long-distance travel.

Personalized Care: Proximity allows you to visit the clinic for regular check-ups, ensuring your recovery is closely monitored.

Timely Treatment: In cases of acute injuries or emergencies, having an orthopaedic surgeon nearby can help you receive prompt treatment.

Conditions Treated by Orthopaedic Surgeons

Orthopaedic surgeons address a wide range of conditions, including:

Joint Disorders: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and joint dislocations.

Sports Injuries: Sprains, torn ligaments, and rotator cuff injuries.

Spinal Conditions: Scoliosis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis.

Fractures and Trauma: Broken bones, complex fractures, and injuries from accidents.

Congenital Disorders: Conditions like clubfoot or hip dysplasia in children.

What to Look for in an Orthopaedic Surgeon

When searching for the best orthopaedic surgeon near me, consider these factors to ensure quality care:

Experience and Specialization: Look for a surgeon with expertise in treating your specific condition, whether it’s joint replacement, sports injuries, or spinal surgery.

Credentials and Training: Check the surgeon’s qualifications, certifications, and professional memberships. Board-certified orthopaedic surgeons are held to the highest standards.

Reputation and Reviews: Read patient testimonials and reviews online to learn about their experiences with the surgeon.

Facilities and Technology: Choose a clinic equipped with modern diagnostic tools and surgical technologies for accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.

Approach to Care: The best surgeons prioritize patient education, explaining all available treatment options and tailoring care to individual needs.

Why Timely Care is Essential

Delaying treatment for orthopaedic issues can lead to complications, prolonged pain, and limited mobility. Early diagnosis and intervention by a qualified orthopaedic surgeon can prevent conditions from worsening and improve your chances of a full recovery.

Conclusion

Finding an orthopaedic surgeon near me is a critical step toward restoring your mobility and reclaiming your active lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or an acute injury, a local orthopaedic specialist can provide expert care tailored to your needs.

Don’t let bone or joint problems hold you back. Schedule a consultation with a trusted orthopaedic surgeon near you and take the first step toward a pain-free, active life!

Expert Joint Replacement Surgery in Delhi – Dr. Anant Tiwari

Reliable Joint Replacement Surgery in Delhi by Dr. Tiwari

Discover effective joint replacement surgery in Delhi with Dr. Anant Kumar Tiwari. Trusted expert in knee, hip, and shoulder replacements for improved mobility.

Joint Replacement Surgery Procedure Explained

For millions of people with arthritis, injuries, or degenerative conditions, joint replacement surgery offers hope. But what does this surgery involve? It combines anatomy and art, technology and biology, helping patients regain their quality of life. In Understanding Joint Replacement Surgery, we explore this important procedure that has changed orthopedic care. We will look at everything from the first consultation to recovery after surgery, new techniques that lead to faster healing and better living. Join us as we simplify this process and show how it can restore movement, reduce pain, and help people enjoy activities they once loved. Whether you are considering surgery or just want to learn more about medical advancements, this article will explain all aspects of joint replacement surgery.

What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement surgery is a transformative procedure designed to alleviate pain and restore mobility in individuals suffering from severe joint dysfunction, often due to conditions like arthritis or injury. This intricate operation involves the removal of damaged joint surfaces and their replacement with artificial components, typically made from durable materials such as metal, plastic, or ceramic. Beyond just physical repair, the surgery empowers patients to reclaim their independence and engage in activities they once loved be it hiking through nature or playing with grandchildren.

Step-by-Step Guide to Joint Replacement Surgery

First Consultation

The journey begins with a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon. This initial visit is crucial for assessing your condition and determining whether joint replacement is the best option for you. The surgeon will:

Review your medical history and symptoms.

Conduct a physical examination.

Order imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to assess joint damage.

Discuss potential benefits and risks of the surgery.

Offer advice on non-surgical treatments or recommend surgery based on the severity of the damage.

Pre-Surgery Preparation

Once joint replacement surgery is confirmed, your surgeon will guide you through several pre-surgical steps. These may include:

Medical Evaluation: You’ll undergo a thorough medical examination to ensure you’re fit for surgery. This includes some blood tests, scans etc.

Medication Adjustments: You may need to stop taking certain medications (like blood thinners) before surgery. Inform your surgeon of all the medications you’re taking.

Physical Therapy: Some patients may be advised to start pre-operative physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the joint and improve recovery post-surgery.

Lifestyle Changes: If you’re overweight, your surgeon might suggest a weight loss plan, as excess weight can increase the risks associated with surgery. If you’re a smoker, quitting smoking can improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications.

Day of Surgery

The surgery itself is a critical part of the process, usually lasting between 2 to 3 hours depending on the complexity and type of joint being replaced (e.g., hip, knee, shoulder).

Anesthesia: You’ll be administered either general anesthesia (to make you unconscious) or regional anesthesia (to numb the area), depending on your surgeon’s recommendation and your health condition.

Joint Replacement Procedure: The surgeon will make an incision near the affected joint, carefully remove the damaged bone and cartilage, and replace it with a prosthetic joint made of metal, ceramic, or plastic components.

Post-Surgical Stabilization: After the joint is replaced, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures or staples. They might also place a drain to prevent fluid buildup in the joint.

Post-Surgery Recovery in Hospital

After the surgery, you’ll be moved to a recovery room where healthcare professionals will monitor your vital signs and ensure the anesthesia wears off safely. The typical hospital stay lasts 2-3 days, during which:

Pain Management: Your doctor will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort.

Physical Therapy Begins: You’ll start moving the joint (with assistance) within a day or two of surgery. Early movement helps prevent blood clots and improves healing. A physical therapist will guide you through gentle exercises.

Monitoring for Complications: Doctors and nurses will monitor your recovery for any potential complications like infection, excessive bleeding, or blood clots.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation and Home Care

Your recovery continues at home, where rehabilitation becomes a key component of regaining mobility and function. Post-operative care includes:

Physical Therapy: Your physical therapist will create a personalized rehabilitation plan focusing on strengthening the muscles around the joint and improving your range of motion.

Wound Care: Keep the incision clean and dry. Follow your doctor’s instructions for caring for the wound and recognizing any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge.

Pain Management: Continue with prescribed pain medication and anti-inflammatory drugs as directed.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular visits to the doctor are essential to monitor healing and adjust your recovery plan if needed.

Long-Term Recovery and Life After Surgery

Full recovery from joint replacement surgery can take several months. Most patients regain significant mobility and are able to return to daily activities without pain.

Ongoing Physical Therapy: Depending on your progress, you may need physical therapy for several months after surgery to strengthen the joint and surrounding muscles.

Lifestyle Adjustments: To protect the new joint, you may need to avoid high-impact activities, maintain a healthy weight, and continue an exercise routine to stay mobile.

What to Expect After Joint Replacement Surgery

Pain Relief: Most patients experience a significant reduction in pain after the surgery.

Improved Mobility: Joint replacement improves range of motion and allows patients to resume daily activities.

Lifespan of the Prosthetic Joint: The lifespan of artificial joints is generally 15 to 20 years, but this depends on the type of joint and how well you take care of it post-surgery.

Risks and Complications of Joint Replacement Surgery

While joint replacement surgery is generally safe, there are potential risks, including:

Infection

Blood clots

Joint stiffness or limited range of motion

Prosthetic wear or failure

In conclusion, joint replacement surgery in Delhi offers a proven solution for individuals suffering from chronic joint pain, especially for conditions like osteoarthritis. With proper preparation, surgery, and post-operative care, patients can regain their quality of life and resume everyday activities with ease.

If you’re struggling with joint pain and wondering whether joint replacement surgery is right for you, consult with our qualified orthopedic surgeon today to explore your options!

What is shoulder arthroscopy?

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery performed to either diagnose or treat orthopedic issues in the shoulder joint. It is the second most common orthopedic surgery after knee arthroscopy. The most common shoulder arthroscopy surgery is rotator cuff tendon repair.Instead of making a large incision, the surgery is performed via 2-3 small 2-3 mm. incisions. The arthroscope (a long thin tube with a camera and torch attachment) and surgical instruments are inserted through these incisions.It can be performed as an outpatient procedure, but overnight hospitalization is generally preferred. Shoulder arthroscopy is usually only performed for patients who haven’t seen positive results even after 3-4 months of physical therapy or if their pain and other symptoms are unmanageable medically.

When is shoulder arthroscopy required?

Shoulder arthroscopy is generally performed to treat shoulder pain and injuries that are not responsive to nonsurgical treatments like medicine, rest, massage, injections, physiotherapy, etc. Common shoulder injuries arthroscopic surgery is recommended for are:Bone spur

Frozen shoulder

Labrum tears

Shoulder osteoarthritis

Biceps tendon injury

Rotator cuff tear or tendinitis

Bankart lesion

Recurrent shoulder dislocations (loose shoulder joint)

What happens during shoulder arthroscopy?Before the surgery, the surgeon will perform a thorough diagnosis to ensure surgery is necessary for the patient. Diagnosis for shoulder arthroscopy entails physical examination, along with imaging tests like X-rays, shoulder CT scan, MRI, etc. On the day of the surgery, the surgeon may also perform diagnostic tests like blood panel, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram to assess the patient’s vital signs and make sure they are in optimum health for the surgery. Following this, the anesthesia will be administered and the patient will be moved to the operation theater for the surgery.For the surgery, the patient may be placed on their side or in a semi-seated position. Then, the surgeon will make small buttonhole sized incisions over the shoulder joint to insert the arthroscope and other surgical instruments. Once the surgery is done, the incisions will be sutured shut and bandaged.

What to expect after shoulder arthroscopy?

After the surgery, the patient will be moved to a recovery room. Some patients will be discharged on the same day while others may be hospitalized overnight to ensure there are no complications post-surgery. The surgery usually takes less than an hour. There is mild pain and swelling in the first few days that can be resolved via over-the-counter pain medications.After discharge, patients have to take pain medications, antibiotics, etc., to aid recovery and start shoulder physiotherapy to regain mobility of the shoulder joint. The recovery period after shoulder arthroscopy can last from 4 weeks to 6 months. Patients can get back to their work within 4 weeks, but should wait longer before performing any strenuous activities.

What are the benefits of shoulder arthroscopy?Compared to conventional open surgery, there are many benefits to shoulder arthroscopy such as:Tiny incisions which ensures fewer chances of postoperative complications

Shorter recovery period

A skilled shoulder surgeon will perform a comprehensive evaluation, often using imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. Based on the diagnosis, they will recommend the best treatment options, which may include physical therapy, medication, or surgical interventions.

If surgery is necessary, it may involve repairing damaged ligaments or even performing a shoulder replacement in severe cases. Choosing an experienced surgeon can significantly enhance your chances of a successful outcome.
