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 atrophy and weakness in my left supraspinatus muscle. One doctor recommended suprascapular surgery, but another said it's just an infection and advised physiotherapy instead. I'm confused about what to do should I go for surgery or stick with physiotherapy?

I'm curious about how long it usually takes to have a plaster removed from a small bone like the metatarsal or the little toe. Is there a typical timeframe for healing in these cases? Just trying to understand what to expect.

4 to 6 wks

How long does it usually take for a tibia-shin bone fracture near the ankle to heal? And when might I be able to start walking again? Also, what should I expect regarding a full recovery?

The healing time for a tibiashin bone fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture. In general, it can take around 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal. However, it may take longer for full recovery, which can range from several months to a year. After the initial healing period, a person may be able to start walking with the help of crutches or a walking boot. It is important to follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to start walking again to avoid any complications. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.
