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.

Had surgery for knee bursitis about 10 months ago but now the pain is back can't bend my knee properly and standing for more than 20 minutes hurts. Could this be bursitis returning or something else going on?

Yes, it's possible that your knee pain is due to bursitis returning, but it could also be caused by other factors, such as insufficient rehabilitation, re-injury, or even the progression of other knee conditions. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

MRI shows focal thinning and altered signal in my ACL suggesting a partial tear plus a grade 23 horizontal tear in my medial meniscus. There's minimal fluid in my knee joints but I'm not in pain right now. Is it okay to delay surgery for a month or two or should I get it treated immediately?

While it's positive that you're currently pain-free, it's generally recommended to address ACL and meniscus tears, even partial ones, promptly, especially if you're active or plan to return to physical activity. Delaying surgery, particularly for a partial ACL tear, could lead to further damage, instability, and potential development of osteoarthritis. Consulting with an orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the best course of action based on your specific situation and activity leve

I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?
