I broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?

-It's great that your ankle is healing, but since your doctor advised no workouts for a year, it's best to follow that. For support during daily activities, using an ankle brace or binder can provide stability, but avoid straining it until you're cleared

my doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options
Biovisc injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation, can be a viable alternative to surgery for shoulder pain and joint gap, but they may not be a permanent solution. These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.
