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?

I've been having a lot of back pain lately, and sometimes it spreads to my hip. I cant sit for more than 15 minutes or walk for more than 30 minutes without the pain kicking in. This all started just 25 days ago, and I can't help but worry about how long itll take for me to get better. Plus, I'm concerned about how this might affect a future pregnancy. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on and what I should do?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle strain or a posture-related issue, which is common but can cause discomfort. Since it's been ongoing for 25 days, I recommend seeing a doctor for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying conditions. With proper treatment, this shouldn't affect your pregnancy, but early intervention is key to a quicker recovery.

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.
