Question

I'm having trouble bending my left index finger after I had k wire surgery. It's been almost a year now since the surgery, and I'm starting to worry because the finger not only won't bend but also looks different. They used a k wire to connect two bones. What could be going wrong here? Should I be concerned about the shape being off? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.

Question

I'm experiencing this tightness and discomfort in the bones on the right side of my chest. I've already had a chest X-ray done, and it showed no abnormalities. But whenever I do even a little bit of stretching, it really feels uncomfortable on that side. What can I do to help cure this?

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've been having some pain in my thigh muscles whenever I cough, and it's been going on for two months now. It also hurts when I turn in my sleep or stand up after sitting. I've tried a bunch of stuff like using balm, taking painkillers, and even putting a hot towel on it, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what else I could try?
