Dr. Matthew Harb specializes in minimally invasive, muscle sparing, hip and knee replacement surgery. Minimally invasive surgery allows patients to recover faster and have less pain post operatively. Implants are tailored and custom fit to each patient to allow for improved performance. Dr. Harb’s expertise in rapid recovery protocols allow for quick recovery after surgery and excellent outcomes in patients with hip and knee arthritis. With minimally invasive, muscle sparing surgery patients can return to their lifestyles and get back to doing the things they love sooner. Dr. Harb performs outpatient joint replacement surgery with many of his patients walking independently and going home the day of surgery.

“My focus is excellence in patient care, expedited recovery after surgery, and getting people back to the normal activities they love. Our team focused approach is committed to superb outcomes, improving lives, and returning patients to living pain free.”

Try having this in the middle of the night! That would make you scream!

[The_Only_Pickle]

The fact that that guy is not screaming is insane

As soon as you feel a cramp coming on...flex your foot on the opposite direction! It has saved my life so many times!lol

Waking up in the middle of the night to this is the worst _💀_

I got a cramp in my thigh; I thought I was having a heart attack. Thigh cramps are no joke.

Magnesium works the best to relieve my leg cramps.

I had a cramp when I was 16 that lasted 2 years in my neck muscle. It locked up that for that long, I then got an idea...I deliberately tore the muscle by wrenching that side neck muscle by over flexing it and yanking my head sharply to one side. It sprained the muscle bad, but tore the few fibers of muscle causing the cramp and enabled my muscle to relax finally and the healing repaired and replaced the now relaxed torn muscle fibres

If this happened to a person swimming in deep water, you're done.

[JeffJones-wy]

I have had these the will wake you up in a dead sleep. With pain you can't bare.

[juliusfishman]

My body has now decided to wake me up every few days with a calf cramp, had one this morning amazing .

[saraslatter]

Yes! Ihavw them in both legs at the same time.. Pure terror and pain...

[kathywilkins]

I know that hurts like hell. I get them behind my knees sometimes and I swear, I cry like a baby! A cool cloth helps but Jeebus!!! I've been taking potassium and magnesium with my multivitamin but it hasn't stopped completely.

Pickle juice or a couple of spoons of mustard are great for quick relief of leg cramps. I buy big jars of pickles to keep in the fridge just for the juice. If you travel, get extra packets of mustard and save them up for the same purpose. Portable and cheap.

[charlottearrington]

This really hurts. Happens to me often .

[teznn]

😂😂 I’m over here raging in Sekiro and got a cramp bottom leg in the middle of the boss fight

[claricetaylor]

Most common cause of cramps are...back issues/ bulges/ HNP, peripheral artery disease. dehydration.REMEDY...400mg of magnesium. Glycinate and Citrate taken at bedtime.

Bro really has a chest burster in his thigh 💀

For calf camps place your thumb behind the notch on your upper lip. Next place index finger on outside of notch and press firmly. Relief in about 10 seconds. You are welcome!

[Jo-Anne-mnbq]

This poor man! I CAN NOT imagine this, the ones I have at night are all I can handle but I squeeze my foot or calf as hard as I can . It helps a lot

[phillipsofthedriver]

Morton Lite Salt is your cheapest option. Hundreds of doses in a little cardboard tube of Magnesium, Potassium (two kinds, chloride & iodide), and Calcium. I just pour a little pile on my palm, lick it up and drink some water. Never have cramps anymore. Expensive booshie route? smart water or gatorade.
