I'm starting to get some pain in my left knee whenever I walk about half a kilometer. I had a screw put in there at your hospital 7 years ago. I'm really curious if I should be looking into getting the screw removed or if it's okay to continue living with it. What's the best way to go about this?

Question

When should I worry about upper back pain?

Can I take myoril thiocolchicoside tablets while I'm on my period? I'm a bit worried if it might cause any issues. I'm 43 and have been dealing with back pain for the past few days. What do you think?

Question

I've been dealing with a fracture in my fifth metatarsal since November 18th, and was told not to walk for 4 weeks. Now that I'm getting back on my feet, my leg isn't quite right. It's weaker and I have a medium level of pain around the fracture area. I had a new X-ray today, and while it looks a bit better, the fracture is still pretty noticeable. I can walk, but I'm only at about 60% of my former strength. Should I be concerned about not seeing more improvement at this point? What else could I do to heal better?
