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 have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?
A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.

I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?
, some swelling don't resolve on other hand they may get infected with abcess formation , if it's local edema with just fluid collection it will subside over period of time , if its local collection of blood (hematoma) then incision is required . if there is discharge of pus with local tenderness ,get it drained or else wait.
