I had an accident last week and broke the middle finger on my right hand attached the x-ray. My consultant recommended surgery, but I'm unsure if it's necessary. What do you think? Are there other options or risks I should know about?

My MRI shows a complete ACL tear and mild joint effusion but the doctor with 25 years of experience says there's no ACL injury just mild cartilage damage and the MRI doesn't match his clinical findings He suggested physiotherapy and a knee brace for 6 months with possible surgery only if needed Should I trust this diagnosis or get a second opinion

It's understandable to feel concerned when your MRI contradicts your doctor's assessment. While your doctor's experience is valuable, a second opinion is advisable to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your knee injury.

I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?

do chest xray
