Question 1

what is the safest time frame for a bone to completely heal from a taylor's bunionectmy without questioning whether to start walking on your foot?

Accepted Answer

Bone healing: For a typical healthy patient it usually takes 6-8 weeks for bone to heal fully.  If you do have an osteotomy (bone cut) this can be the expected recovery time.  If it i'd simply a bone shaving you may be able to walk 2-3 days after surgery.

Question 2

broken fibula & tibia in 99. leg length discrepancy of 1.5" but only tibia is short. fibula bowing. problems feet up. pursue taylor spatial frame?

Accepted Answer

Other options?: You're 30 and no longer growing, problem won't get worse. A 3/4" heel lift on your shorter leg may resolve most issues. If not, surgery to lengthen the short tibia with external device is possible but results may not be worth the effort to get there. You really need to discuss with orthopedics your current issues with shorter leg and if they will resolve with surgery.

Question 3

hi. my son taylor had virus 2 weeks ago & chest infection last week hes nearly finished amoxicillin for this. hes still sick but better. however school sent him home.he is still coughing but not as chesty i think.can't get a docs appnt. should i wait?

Accepted Answer

Depends : If he's breathing ok can probably wait until can get an appointment with doctor.  Agree worth at least a re examination of the chest.  If breathing troubles should be seen more urgently

Question 4

hi dr. taylor,
i started using the progesterone cream from day 12 to 26. my hair loss stopped as long as i used the progesterone cream but 2-3 days after i stopped, my hair loss came back, i am feeling fatigue, and experience brain fog again?

Accepted Answer

Hair loss: Hair loss due to hormonal fluctuations usually needs to be treated long term. Talk to your Dr in a video consult to determine if the progesterone needs to be continued for longer than one month.

Question 5

how long does a jia flare last?

Accepted Answer

Depends: This largely depends on the severity of the flare and if appropriate meds are being taken to end the flare.Low dose weekly Methotrexate may take 6-8 weeks to start working.TNF-inhibitors (Enbrel, Remicade, (infliximab) Humira) work much faster,often with improvement after 2-3 weeks and ending flare within 3-6 weeks depending on dose used. Short burst of steroids can help provide some relief in 2-3 days

Question 6

if i'm due on 27 july when was my baby made?

Accepted Answer

10/30/12 to 11/7/12: Normal pregnancy is 40 weeks so count back 40 weeks from your due date. Or count forwards 40 weeks from your last menstrual period. If you're like me and can't count that high, check out any number of due date & conception calculators online like this one: http://www.Baby2see.Com/conception_calculator.Html.

Question 7

is july really the worst month to get sick? why?

Accepted Answer

Doctors time off.: Not really an urban legend.  Weekend is the worst proven times to be ill, because hospitals and clinics are at half staff.  In july, many doctors take family breaks, and there may be fewer to take care of you.

Question 8

i was last with a person who just tested positive on 8th july. ?

Accepted Answer

Self-isolate: If infected with Covid-19, symptoms can begin anywhere from day 3 to day 8. Look for fever/chills, dry cough, fatigue, muscle/body aches, headache, sore throat, nausea. Self isolate for 14 days to prevent spreading the disease. see a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, persisitent chest pain, confusion and blue lips/nails. Testing may be necessary to return to work. Talk to Dr for referral.

Question 9

11 weeks nd 1 day. i'm due july 1st 2016... can u please tell me how many months am i.

Accepted Answer

2 to 3 months: 11 weeks is 2 to 3 months.  Counting by months is more vague; counting by weeks is less vague.  Also, pregnancy-related dates are almost always estimates.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Probably: Maintaining sustained weight loss is harder than initially losing weight. The more time that passes with sustained weigh loss the better.
