Question

I've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.

Question

I've been having a tough time with this back muscle catch for the last three days. It's really making it hard for me to turn, bend, or even get a good night's sleep lying flat. I'm starting to worry because I have some family events coming up and I really need to be in good shape for them. Are there any treatments or home remedies you can suggest to help me out?

Question

I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have a POP for an air crack in my left hand. They used a plaster of Paris bandage on it, but I'm not in much pain. Do you think just a roll bandage would be enough?

Question

I've been dealing with this pain in my left hand that goes from my shoulder down to my palm for about three days now. Sometimes my palm swells up too. Is this something I should be worried about or is it likely just a strain? What could be causing this and what should I do?
