Had surgery on my finger yesterday and the pain is really bad today. The doctor prescribed Combiflum but it's not helping much. Since my doctor is far away now, can you suggest a stronger painkiller that might work better?

View allI had a scooter accident 15 days ago and the MRI shows a full ACL tear, but I can still do most daily activities with minimal pain. Do I really need surgery or can I manage without it?
While you might be able to manage with a full ACL tear without surgery, especially if you're not highly active, the decision depends on your individual lifestyle and goals. Surgery is often recommended for athletes or those who participate in activities that require pivoting or twisting movements. Conservative treatment with physical therapy and bracing is an option for those with less demanding activities

I'm 19 and have bow legs which my friends tease me about. I really want to straighten them naturally through exercises instead of surgery are there any options that could help me?
While exercises and stretches can help strengthen muscles and improve alignment, they won't change the shape of your bones, which is the root cause of bow legs. Surgery (osteotomy) is generally the only way to correct the bone alignment in adults. However, strengthening exercises and stretches can help manage symptoms and improve overall leg health

I'm really interested in this height increase surgery since I'm only 158 cm tall and want to grow taller. Can you tell me if it's safe and which doctor I should see for it? Also, at what age would it be safest and most effective for me? I'd appreciate your advice on this.
The total recommended lengthening is 2-3 inches (5-8 cm) in the thigh bone (femur). Lengthening more than 3 inches in one bone is associated with higher complication rates, and our doctors put patient safety first
