Many factors determine how long it will take for you to fully recover and see the benefits of orthopedic surgery. For some patients, recovery takes a few weeks. For others, it can take several months. Depending on your overall health, the condition for which you were treated and the type of surgery performed, you may be able to go home the same day or the day after surgery even if you had total joint replacement surgery. In most cases, you'll be discharged to your home. In-home nursing care or outpatient physical therapy will maximize the benefits of your surgery. A small group of patients may need to spend a few days at a skilled nursing facility before they can return home.

The word Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. Arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases and other conditions that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that damages the lining surrounding our joints while also destroying our bones, tissue, and joints over time. Osteoarthritis is a progressive condition that slowly damages the cartilage surrounding the ends of bones and is common in the hip, knee, and spine, explains Dr. Karthik Reddy, a renowned Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon.

Spondylosis describes the general degeneration of the spine that can occur in joints, discs, and bones of the spine as we age, describes Dr. Karthik Reddy, leading Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon in Bangalore. He adds that Arthritis is an umbrella term for more than 100 conditions that cause painful joints, and in the case of spondylosis, the spine is full of joints that can be affected. Osteoarthritis, which is what spondylosis is the most common type. Bones in a joint need to glide smoothly together. Articular cartilage, which is cartilage that wraps the ends of bones in a joint, allows that smooth gliding and helps prevent painful and damaging bone-on-bone contact. Osteoarthritis is the gradual breakdown of this cartilage. It’s also known as wear-and-tear arthritis, because it just sort of happens naturally over a lifetime of joint movement. Your spine is a column made of 33 bones called vertebrae. Cushion-like pads called discs are tucked between most vertebrae, which protects the spine and makes it flexible. And within this column of vertebrae lies the spinal cord. Vertebrae are connected by facet joints, which are the victims in spondylosis. Spondylosis is common, but it is usually not serious. Many who have it experience no pain, though it can be painful for some. Most patients with spinal Osteoarthritis will not need surgery. However, it is a degenerative condition that may worsen as a person grows older, and can affect any region of the spine, including Cervical-neck, Thoracic-upper, mid-back, Lumbar -low back and Lumbosacral -low back/sacrum.

Dr. Karthik Reddy, leading Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon explains Degenerative disc disease as an age-related condition that happens when one or more of the discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column deteriorates or breaks down, leading to pain. There may be weakness, numbness, and pain that radiates down the leg. Despite its name, degenerative disc disease is not a disease, but a natural occurrence that comes with aging. The rubbery discs between the vertebrae normally allow for flexing and bending of the back, like shock absorbers. In time, they become worn, and they no longer offer as much protection as before.Treatment may include occupational therapy, physical therapy, or both, special exercises, medications, losing weight, and surgery.

Dr. Karthik Reddy, a prominent Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon explains that Sciatica is a general term used to describe debilitating pain along course of sciatic nerve i.e. pain starting from back and radiating down the buttocks and legs. Most common cause of sciatic pain is irritation of lumbar nerve root because of any pathology. Sciatica pain often is worsened with twisting, bending, or coughing. Often, patients may describe pain or a burning sensation deep in the buttocks, and frequently they will describe paresthesia that accompanies the pain, these patients may describe the affected leg as feeling heavy. Most cases of sciatica resolve in less than 4 to 6 weeks with no long-term complications. In more severe cases or cases where the neurologic deficit is present, the patient may have a more prolonged course of recovery. However, recovery is still excellent. Some studies have shown that poor occupational mechanics, psychological depression, and poor socioeconomic situations lead to an increased chance of chronic, recurrent sciatica. It is advised not to delay or avoid symptoms like persistent pain while bending, coughing etc. Consult Dr. Karthik Reddy , Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon, for proper prognosis and treatment, he can be consulted online by video call or in clinic consultation by booking an online appointment easily and effortlessly on icareheal app.

The doctors who work in this field are known as orthopedic surgeons. Although orthopedic surgeons are trained and experienced in providing surgery, they do not always prescribe this treatment. Non-surgical options like R.I.C.E. (rest, ice, compression, elevation), casting, physical therapy, and injections can be sufficient in many situations.
