I'm really worried because my lower fibula has been swollen for four days now. I recently broke my tibia and fibula, and when I press on top of my fibula, it hurts. I can walk, but there's a bit of pain. Should I be concerned, and do you think I should see a doctor about it?

Question

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

Question

I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?

Question

I'm experiencing some pain when I'm either standing up or lying down, specifically in my leg near my stomach. It seems to hurt even more when I put pressure on it. There's no blood or anything like that, but should I be concerned about this? What could be causing the pain?
