I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?

I have a 9mm full thickness ACL tear and need surgery - what type of specialist should I see for this procedure? I'm a bit unsure whether to go with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine or a general orthopedic surgeon since they both seem to handle ACL repairs

for an orthopedic specialist if necessary. Make sure that your doctor is medically qualified to treat your ACL tear completely. ACL tear repair treatment and surgery are performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons, so general or family practitioners aren't ideal for treatment.

My 5-year-old has a meniscus tear with clicking sounds and discomfort but no locking. Their knee feels unstable should we consider surgery or try other options first?

For a 5-year-old with a meniscus tear causing clicking, discomfort, and knee instability, but without locking, a non-surgical approach is generally recommended as the first step. This typically involves rest, ice, and physical therapy to manage pain and improve knee function. Surgery might be considered if the tear is severe or if non-surgical treatments fail to provide sufficient relief.
