I'm feeling some pain at the base of my neck, and it radiates to my shoulder whenever I turn to the right side. I saw the doctor, and they mentioned it might be a cervical rib. Could you explain what this is? I'm a bit worried about what it means and what I should do next.

View allI have a partial ACL tear and I'm not sure if I need surgery or just physiotherapy. Can you help me understand what's best based on my MRI report? I'm really worried about making the right choice for recovery.
For partial ACL tears, physiotherapy might suffice unless the ligament is severely torn or if you have knee instability. Discuss your MRI findings with your orthopedic surgeon to determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is best.

I recently got an MRI for a knee injury from playing sports and it shows a partial ACL tear at the femoral attachment, along with some changes in the medial meniscus, bone contusion in the tibial condyle, and mild joint effusion. Will this heal on its own or do I need physiotherapy or even surgery? What's the best treatment plan for this kind of injury?
Partial ACL tears and meniscal changes often improve with physiotherapy—surgery only if instability or pain persists.

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.
It's understandable to be concerned, but masturbation doesn't significantly affect the healing of an ankle injury. The body prioritizes healing based on the injury's severity, and while sperm production is ongoing, it doesn't slow down the repair process of a minor injury like an ankle sprain. Focus on rest, elevation, and proper care for the ankle to aid recovery.
