Do you suffer from kidney stones? 🪨

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys.

Diet, excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements and medications are among the many causes of kidney stones. Kidney stones can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder.

You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

🪨 Pain so severe that you can't sit still or find a comfortable position
🪨 Pain accompanied by nausea and vomiting
🪨 Pain accompanied by fever and chills
🪨 Blood in your urine
🪨 Difficulty passing urine

Watch out for these 9 common causes of sports injury:

1. Overuse - Repeated use of certain muscles and joints could lead to injury. 🏃‍♂️

2. Lack of Warm-Up – Not warming up and stretching before activities can lead to an increased likelihood of injury. 🏋️

3. Poor Technique - Incorrect or inappropriate techniques, such as using the wrong form or posture, increase risk of injury. 🤸

4. Impact - High-impact sports like football, basketball, or soccer can lead to traumatic injury due to collisions or falls. ⛹️

5. Muscle Imbalances - Uneven development of muscles or unequal strength can lead to exerting extra stress on a part of the body, causing injury. 🏌️

6. Insufficient Rest - Not giving the body enough rest to recover from physical activity can lead to fatigue-related injuries. 🚴

7. Environment - Slippery or uneven surfaces and poor lighting conditions could lead to accidents and injuries. 🧘

8. Improper Equipment - Wearing inadequate gear or ill-fitting shoes can lead to injuries. 🏄

9. Pre-existing Conditions - The presence of pre-existing conditions, such as arthritis, ligament injuries, or other health conditions, can be aggravated when engaging in sports activities. 🏊

Practicing proper form, using appropriate equipment, and taking adequate rest are some strategies that could lower the likelihood of sustaining injuries during sports activities.

Parents, remember that children's bones, muscles, and joints are still growing and developing, making them particularly vulnerable to injuries.

Keep a close eye on your child's physical development and watch for signs that something isn't right. It may indicate an underlying issue.

Here are some instances when you should take your child to an orthopaedic doctor:

👪 Pain or Swelling - If your child has persistent pain or swelling in their bones, muscles, or joints that doesn't go away after a few days of home care

👨‍👦 Restricted Movement - If your child has difficulty moving their joints or has reduced mobility in their limbs

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Abnormalities in Gait or Posture - Persistent limping, walking on toes, or having unusual posture

👨‍👧‍👦 Trauma or Injury - If your child has suffered an injury from physical activity, a fall, or an accident

👩‍👩‍👧 Inherited Conditions- If your child has a family history of orthopaedic issues such as scoliosis, hip dysplasia, or clubfoot

👩‍👧‍👦 Developmental Issues - Concerns of delayed motor skills or developmental milestones
