i'm in small town with a torn muscle. between family medicine and general surgery. which should i choose?

Question

When is surgery indicated for a clean tear of the calf muscle? 30% of medial gastro torn. I'm 45 year old, healthy athletic man

Answer 1

Either: Either specialty can diagnose and often treatment is rest and time.

Answer 2

Family doc : It's probably best to see your family doctor. They can take a look and make some recommendations. In the mean time you can use Motrin and Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain. A muscle strain wouldn't be treated surgically.

Answer 3

Circular muscle: The lining of the vagina(epithelium) is surrounded by circular muscle that can contract around objects and a potential space that can expand as well. Expansion projects include childbirth, sex and tampon placement.

Answer 4

Very Few: While laser eye surgery (lasik, prk) is very safe, there can rarley be complications that may affect vision. Most commonly, the eye may not achieve perfect vision, and an enhancement may be needed later. Dry eyes can occur and last for several months, and small abrasions may be present for a few days. More rarely, surface skin can sometimes grow under the flap, causing blurred vision.

Answer 5

See specialist: A podiatrist or orthopedist who treats ankles should be able to evaluate and offer treatment options.

Answer 6

Have it : Re- evaluated by a doctor. X-rays should be taken, and options can then be discussed with you.

Answer 7

Sequelae: The liking underlying source of the pain is probably the injury that necessitated the surgery, rather than the surgery itself. It is time to see a doctor for a complete evaluation.

Answer 8

Depends on u & type: This depends on the type of surgery done and what condition you are in at the time of surgery and whether there were any complications with the surgery. For an outpatient microdisectomy, it can range from activity restriction for several weeks and some home exercises to a full fledged physical therapy program of at least 6 weeks with a more involved surgery like a multilevel fusion.

Answer 9

Varies: It depends completely on the nature of the surgery performed. Some of the minimally invasive surgeries we perform have little or no down time. Other, much more extensive surgeries, may have recovery times that extend several months. Thank you for your question.

Answer 10

You need to ask the : Doc who did your surg as that doc knows how everything went and u didnt say what type of surg you had, laparoscopy, robot open? And did you have any problems after like bleeding or infection, etc. Or none, so call you surgeon and ask him or her, and don't go sue the doc unless there was really something that happened or was done that was below the standard of care so get a 2nd opinion if neces.
