The most common question I get as an orthopedic su $The most common question I get as an orthopedic surgeon? . Should I use ice or heat for my pain? . There are two situations where HEAT is the right answer, simply use ICE the rest of the time. . 🔥Heat is helpful for MUSCLE SPASMS and for MORNING STIFFNESS. That's why it helps to take a warm shower in the morning if you suffer from arthritis. . 🚫Never use heat for joint pain under any circumstances. It will make swelling and inflammation worse. . 🧊Ice is the mainstay for injuries whether it be an acute injury or an exacerbation of a chronic one. Ice is effective in shrinking the blood vessels and thereby reduces INFLAMMATION, which is the source of pain. In these instances, heat would make things much worse! . If these simple measures aren't enough, call us for an evaluation to see if you need accurate diagnostic testing or more directed treatment. . 👤 Steven Stuhl, MD⁣ 🏆 Top Orthopedic Surgeon in NYC⁣ 📱 (212) 207-1990⁣ 🖥 www.shouldersandknees.com 📍 New York, NY 📍 Westchester, NY . #AnteriorKneePain #ArthroscopicKneeSurgery #arthroscopicsurgery #CartilageRepair #cartilagegeneration #chondromalacia #KneeArthritis #KneeSurgeon #microfracture #microfracturesurgery #MCLSprain #MCLTear #JumpersKnee #TotalKneeReplacementSurgery #RunnersKnee #physicaltherapy #sportsmedicine #arthoscopy #doctorsofinstagram #painrelief #shouldersandkneesnyc$

Patient satisfaction is our ultimate goal so this $Patient satisfaction is our ultimate goal so this recent email I received was truly appreciated. 😀👏 . We had to work a little harder in this case but we applied the very latest technology to get such a satisfying result. . The patient had a cartilage defect under his patella and underwent what is called microfracture surgery which is designed to regrow the missing cartilage. At first the recovery went well but then the pain recurred 😔. . ⠀⠀ In order to determine the cause he had a new diagnostic procedure called a “needle scope” which allowed us to see the exact cause of the persistent pain problem. This is similar to the standard “scope” surgery but doesn’t require surgery!! . It was discovered that the treated area had healed as expected but a new area of damage which was not previously present was now the cause. . The new area of damage was also treated with a microfracture but enhanced with a stem cell injection with the stem cells being injected right into the bone for maximum benefit. ⠀⠀ Modern advances all coming together for a great end result!! ⠀⠀ If you had recent surgery and failed to achieve the best result don’t despair. Needle arthroscopy is far more accurate than MRI and can give you immediate answers and allow your doctor to provide you the best possible treatment. ⠀⠀ Stay tuned for the IG story to be posted tomorrow to see the actual images!! ⠀⠀ Get more information by clicking the links in the bio!⬇️⬇️⬇️ ⠀⠀ #regenerativemedicine #stemcells #stemcelltherapy #stemcellinjection #frozenshoulder #kneeproblems #meniscustear #orthopedics #orthopedicsurgeon #orthopedicsurgery #kneereplacement #regenerativemedicine #shoulderinjury #shoulderpain #shouldersurgery #sportsdoc #sportsmedicine #injuryrecovery #cartilage #kneeinjury #kneesurgery #kneereplacement #nyc #nycity #orthopedics #thebigapplenyc$
