View allI've been playing badminton for quite a long time, about 34 years actually, and I've never had any issues before. But lately, I've noticed that when I wake up early in the morning, I experience some sort of pain on my left-hand side. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?
It is possible that you are experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in your left hand due to repetitive use during badminton. I recommend taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (e.g. Voltaren) to the affected area. Make sure to rest your hand and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, consult a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.

my mom is only 56 but her doctor recommended knee replacement surgery - seems too young for that is there any medicine or treatment to improve her knee lubrication and synovial fluid instead
Knee replacement at 56 is not uncommon if pain is severe. Cartilage injections and physiotherapy may help delay surgery in early stages.

Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?
kindly share report
