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 allMy mom broke the radius and ulna bones in her right hand and the doctor recommended a small surgery with rod alignment plates but she's diabetic is there a better treatment option we should consider
For diabetic fracture patients, internal fixation remains preferred; glycemic control reduces surgical risks.

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'm really concerned about my mom's upper left arm pain, which is just above her elbow and below her shoulder. It's not super severe, but its enough to disturb her sleep. She used to have pain in her elbow joint, but thankfully that got better. She thinks its because she's not a stomach sleeper and tends to sleep with her arms under her body, but she can't seem to change her sleeping position. She doesn't have any health issues; her blood pressure's usually normal, and her sugar levels were checked last October 2015, along with her Vitamin B12 and D3 levels, which were low at the time. She took the prescribed tablets then but isnt on any medication now. What could be causing this, and should we be doing something differently?
I would advice to undergo Vitamin D3 tests and Vitamin b12 again to know the values now.
