I fell off my bike and fractured my left collarbone just got the X-ray report. Could you help me understand what treatment options I have? Is surgery necessary, or can it heal without it? Also, how long does recovery usually take for this kind of injury?

Question

I've been dealing with a concern that's been bothering me for a while. When I was around 12, I started dry humping on the bed, and this went on until I was about 16. Now, I'm 24 and I've noticed my thighs and legs look thin and kind of deformed. Could there be any connection to my past habits, or is there another reason they appear this way?

Question

I'm dealing with a bit of an issue with my finger after catching a cricket ball. My x-ray came back normal, but there's still a little pain. I also feel some movement in the proximal phalange when I press on the joint. Should I be worried about this, or will it heal on its own? Any idea how long it might take to recover?
