I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?

View allI'm 16 and have bow legs with an O shape curvature is there any way to straighten them without surgery I'm really worried about how they look and if it can be fixed naturally
While you may not be able to "fix" the bone structure of your legs naturally at age 16, you can improve muscle strength, flexibility, and overall alignment, which can make your legs appear straighter and reduce associated pain. Exercises, stretching, and potentially bracing can help manage the condition and improve your overall well-being

I'm 4 months out from ACL surgery and wondering if smoking or drinking alcohol could mess with my recovery does it slow down healing or weaken the graft?
Alcohol and smoking delay healing and graft integration—avoid for at least 6 months post-ACL surgery for optimal recovery.

My MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL femoral attachment with some axis changes, plus a grade 2 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the capsular surface. I've got pain, swelling, popping sounds, and can't walk properly. Do I need surgery for this, or can it heal on its own? What are my options for recovery?
A partial ACL tear with axis changes and a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, especially with pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, likely requires a combination of conservative and potentially surgical treatment. While some ACL tears can heal with conservative management, the meniscus tear and the severity of your symptoms suggest a surgical approach might be necessary. It's crucial to consult with an orthopedic specialist for a personalized treatment plan.
