I'm dealing with a neck spasm and shoulder muscle pain for the past couple of days, and there's a slight swelling near the right side of my jaw. I've already tried applying ointment and taking painkillers, but its not getting any better. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I should be doing?

I'm 18 and have bow legs that seem to be getting worse. I don't want surgery but cycling is getting harder even though I've been doing it for weeks. Are there any physical exercises that can actually help fix bow legs or at least stop them from getting worse? I don't have pain yet but I'm worried it might start soon. What would you recommend?

While exercises cannot permanently fix bow legs (Genu Varum), they can help manage symptoms and potentially slow their progression. For an 18-year-old with bow legs, a combination of strengthening, stretching, and mobility exercises can be beneficial

It's been 4 months and 25 days since my distal femur comminuted fracture surgery, which I heard is one of the most complicated cases. My knee still won't bend properly and I'm worried - is the fixation not healing right anatomically? Could this mean I might need another surgery or is there another reason for my limited movement?

I have an ACL injury and don't have much knee pain, but my knee feels stiff behind when I sit for too long. Can physiotherapy alone fix this, or will I eventually need surgery? I've attached my MRI results.

ACL repair and reconstructive sx is advised.
