I had tibia bone surgery 4 years ago with a titanium rod inserted, but now I'm feeling some pain in my leg and walking with a limp even though the X-ray shows everything looks fine. Could there be a reaction to the rod or any other reason for this pain? What could be causing this?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

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?
