I had a minor bike accident a few weeks ago and since then, I've been experiencing this nagging pain on the right side of my ribs, just below my right breast. At first, I assumed it was just a typical muscle pain that would go away, so I tried using Volini gel and a hot gel bag for a couple of weeks. But there was no improvement, so I decided to get an X-ray after my doctor suggested it, and it came back normal. My doctor then put me on some painkillers for muscle pain, and I've been taking them for about a week now. But the pain is still there. It's really intense when I make minor body movements, during sudden jolts while traveling in a bus, car, bike, or rickshaw, and even when I hiccup. Sleeping has become uncomfortable too, as I can't turn to my sides. What should I do to get some relief from this? I would really appreciate some guidance.

I'm really interested in this height increase surgery since I'm only 158 cm tall and want to grow taller. Can you tell me if it's safe and which doctor I should see for it? Also, at what age would it be safest and most effective for me? I'd appreciate your advice on this.
The total recommended lengthening is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur). Lengthening more than 3 inches in one bone is associated with higher complication rates, and our doctors put patient safety first

How long does it usually take for a tibia-shin bone fracture near the ankle to heal? And when might I be able to start walking again? Also, what should I expect regarding a full recovery?
The healing time for a tibiashin bone fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture. In general, it can take around 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal. However, it may take longer for full recovery, which can range from several months to a year. After the initial healing period, a person may be able to start walking with the help of crutches or a walking boot. It is important to follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to start walking again to avoid any complications.
