Question

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.

Question

I broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?

Question

I broke my tibia and fibula back in late July 2016 and had to get surgery where they put in a titanium rod for healing. I work in an IT services company here in Bangalore, and right now the pain has lessened and the swelling's down, but my leg still doesn't feel strong enough to handle weight. I use a walker to get around with a bit of weight on the leg. I'm thinking of going back to work by October and would like to continue my physical therapy sessions here in Bangalore. Do you think thats a smart move?

Question

I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?
