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.

we can then consider surgical options.

I have a slipped disc at L4L5 causing pain in my right leg and want to explore non-surgical treatments. Can you suggest medicine options that don't involve antibiotics? I'm really worried about surgery and hoping for alternatives.
For non-surgical management of a slipped disc at L4-L5 causing right leg pain, consider over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen, and potentially prescription pain medications like tramadol or corticosteroids under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Heat or ice therapy, along with physical therapy and alternative therapies like acupuncture or massage, can also help with pain management and muscle relaxation.

What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while
The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.
