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.

View allI've had this metal rod in my lower leg for about 5 years now. Everything's been okay until recently, when I started feeling a constant pain near the knee where the screw is fixed. I'm considering getting the rod removed, but I'm worried about whether my leg will end up weaker after the operation and how long the recovery will take. Any advice?
The recovery time can vary depending on individual factors, but typically it takes about 6-8 weeks for the bone to fully heal after the operation. To help with the pain and promote healing, your doctor may prescribe pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, to support bone health and strength during recovery, they may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a successful recovery.

I'm experiencing pain in the upper side of my chest, and it feels like it might be related to a bone or muscle because there's some swelling under the skin. My lower neck sometimes aches too. The pain in the swollen area seems to flare up every now and then. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?
it might be lymph node enlargement, take tablet zerodol for 2 days , twice in a day

my mom is only 56 but her doctor recommended knee replacement surgery - seems too young for that is there any medicine or treatment to improve her knee lubrication and synovial fluid instead
Knee replacement at 56 is not uncommon if pain is severe. Cartilage injections and physiotherapy may help delay surgery in early stages.
