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.

The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?

My brother broke his leg bone into two or three pieces and already had surgery. Now the doctors are suggesting another surgery to insert a rod or plate. What's the difference between using a rod versus a plate for his bone and is one better than the other for his situation?
In fracture repair, rods and plates both serve to stabilize broken bones and aid in healing. Rods are typically inserted into the center of the bone, while plates are secured to the outside of the bone with screws. The best choice depends on the specific fracture, the location of the break, and the surgeon's preference

I've noticed a strange screeching sound near my knee joint whenever I fold my left leg. There's no pain, it's just in my left leg and it's kind of worrying me. What could be causing this?
Could be due to a condition called crepitus. This sound may be caused by the rubbing of irregular joint surfaces or soft tissues around the knee. To help reduce this sound, you can try taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the affected area. If the sound persists or if you experience any pain or swelling, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
