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.

My ACL surgery was done a month ago but my knee is only bending 40%. Are there any Ayurvedic oils that can help improve knee bending and strengthen the ligaments?

physiotherapy and some painkillers try to manage your condition first.

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?

yes surgery is advised.

My sister recently finished physiotherapy and quad strengthening exercises, but she still struggles with a lot of knee pain due to chondromalacia. We've noticed it gets better with icing and rest, but it's tough since she really loves dancing and doesn't want to quit. Is it okay for her to try Zumba or aerobics, or would that just make things worse? Any advice would be really helpful.
