what are the effects of partial resection of clavice?

I assume you mean clavicle.  The outter end of the clavicle can be removed to treat a painful, arthritic joint widthout any significant loss of strength or motion in the shoulder.

be sure to let your MD know.  Could be dependent edema from the increased fluid loads given during the post op time, but could be signs of worse problems, such as a deep vein thrombosis- this could be lethal.  Also you might have CHF congestive heart failure, once again talk with your MD.  After that is done, you should be on a cardio rehab program that teaches proper eating, exercise and medication regiment.

camlala - As other have mentioned, I hope your daughter has already been hospitalized for her condition.  I assume she has if you already know that she has had a carotid dissection.  Your question is actually very complex and dependent on a variety of things.  The presence of significant narrowing of the artery, presence of blood clot, or present of a visible flap are all high-risk findings that would push your doctors towards surgery as opposed to conservative management with blood thinners.  In addition, patients that have a significant neurological deficit (as your daughter has) tend to do better with surgery.  It is important that your daughter is seen by a surgical specialist who can take into account all these variables and make appropriate recommendations, but it sounds like surgery will be likely.  I wish you the best...

I have heard about the side effects since they are actually lifting up your cornea during the surgery and if you get accidently hit in the eye or head possibly could slip before totally healed. thats why I had PK done instead,I went from glasses to 20/20 in both eyes.no side effects

I had the surgery back in January and have lost 231lbs.  I would do it all over again the pain and discomfort are worth it and now that pain and discomfort are gone just a bad memory.  The cost was about 32,000 for the surgeon and 15,000 for the hospital stay.  I was only in the hospital for 3 days!  The only weird thing was that my butt hurt all the time (after I started losing weight) I asked my doctor about it and he said it was a normal complaint after surgery…lol.  Oh well, things have gone well except I caused myself to have a hernia I unloaded about 1,500lbs of cottonseed off of a trailer into the barn I also moved about 500lbs of patio stones.  It was too much too soon (only four months) I just felt so great I had to get out and go to work.  The hernia will have to be fixed but because of were its at I can wait until I have a tummy tuck in about 18 months.  I’m now working on the farm again just careful with the heavy loads.  I take vitamins (prenatal lol), B-12, and green tea extract (my own idea on the green tea).  I took potassium for several months until my lab work came back as normal so the doc took me off the potassium.  I had one side effect from the incision itself.  During the surgery the incision is very near the diaphragm so when I would stand I would get sever hic-ups which would take my breath away and usually cause me to throw up.  That lasted for about a month and a half.  My doctor said that it wasn’t too common but some patients did suffer with the hic-ups.  They gradually went away when everything healed up nicely.  I now walk a mile every day and during the summer I would swim for at least an hour each day if not more.  I have had a little hair loss (I had stopped taking my vitamins) but that’s over with (I’m taking my vitamins like a good boy).  It was worth the money, pain, and time I now have my life back.  I still have 170lbs to go but I feel great and it was worth it.  Just do your research and find a good surgeon.

I feel your pain. I dislocated each of my knees at least 3 times, each. Hurts like hell. Sloppy ligs I suppose. I would like to have all the loose floaties sucked out of my knees too. I hope to have the surgery before I turn 25 so if you find out anything worth while please fwd it to me at handymanbrandon@sbcglobal.net. I hope the surgery helps ease your knees! B)

Ask your MD or surgeon who performs it. My sis had it done and there were complications afterwards, but they fixed it and now she has lost more weight and she likes the results.

i have experienced that patients can get great relief from adjustments to the middle and upper back regions.  By restoring normal joint movement in the ribs and middle back, the expansion of the ribcage is much better, and the input to the nerves that control bronchial spasm can be reduced.  Breathing exercises can help also.

Sort of. I got sick again a few months after mine, and apparently it was becuz there were still a few gallstones  in my stomach somewhere. It took a long time to feel better, but still have the pain and "funny" sensation once in a great while. Depending on how long you had the problem before it was removed, it could cause scarring.

Soft foods (mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, yogurt, soup, pasta, etc).  Try not to make it too hot (heat can loosen the clots that are forming).  Nothing that needs to be consumed with a stram (shakes are good  - soothing - but need to be eaten witha spoon - too much suction can dislodge the clots as well).  Also avoid anything with little seeds (Strawberries, Poppy seeds, Seasame Seeds, etc) Seeds can get up into the surgical areas a cause problems!  Hope that this helps and your friend recovers fast!

Depending on what they would have left, you would experience pain or swelling. If it is something like gauze then it could also lead to infection, and with that could lead to much greater medical problems. See your Doc as soon as possible.

Well, it could be for a number of reasons. Depending on what you had done, it could be just as bad as it was before surgery. I myself have had 4 knee surgeries, 2 on each knee. They did debridement under the kneecaps, removal of torn meniscus, and lateral releases on both. The cartilage under my kneecaps is just as bad as before, because the problem has not been fixed. The debridement was a temporary relief of the damaged cartilage, but the problem is that my knee caps are not tracking right, so there is grinding and rubbing on my leg bones. This is very painful, somedays are worse than others. Also, the scar tissue from surgery causes pain, as well as the muscles that did not recover. I went through a pain management clinic, and they say that after surgery, the problem can be fixed, but the nerves that are used to sending the pain signals become used to doing that. So this is where chronic pain comes in. About the only thing you can do for chronic pain, is learn how to manage it. I take ibuprofen when my knees act up, and I use aspercreme if they get really achy. Other than that, it's either more surgery or learn to live with it. For me, they want to do more invasive surgery that involves breaking and resetting bones with screws to line the kneecaps where they should be, but I'm still not sure if I want to do this, as it might cause more problems than I already have. Well, I hope this helps in some way. I feel your pain. Good luck.

You are so young to be having this problem, but my sister h had her left knee done on Feb 06, and will be having surgery on her right knee on May 30, 06. She is doing wonderful and looking forward to getting her legs back to where she can walk again. Like you , she had to use a wheel chair or not walk at all. Just listen to your doctor, and I will keep you in prayer for fast healing. God Bless You. Just trust in the Lord. He will help you through it.

Yes...I broke my Clavicle (a.k.a. the collar bone), which is also the most commonly broken bone in the human body.

i had a tumor removed from the inside of the wrist bone and it sounds similar to what your having done. They hollowed out the bone and used freeze dried bone chips to fill it in. The good news is the bone grew back together just like new and 12 or so years later I don't even notice it. At first it will be weak and tender but I found a few things that helped. My hands and wrist were stiff because my wrist and hand were casted for 6 weeks so I washed dishes by hand to work the muscles back up. And the scar has healed quite nicely. I don't get any phantom pains when it rains or anything like that. I think you will be just fine. I just hope you don't go stir crazy waiting for your hip to heal. Good Luck but I think you will be fine.
