I had hand surgery in December 2020 but now my hand is swollen and really painful. What could be causing this and what meds should I take for the pain and swelling?

Could be infection, hardware issue, or lymphedema—see your surgeon and consider imaging and labs.

View allI've had lower back pain for 2 months and calf pain for 6 months my knee MRI was normal but lumbar spine MRI showed mild to moderate L5 S1 disc bulge and mild L4 L5 bulge with pain radiating down my left leg. I feel numbness in my left leg's second toe. Do I really need steroid injections or can exercises help without surgery?
With a mild to moderate L5-S1 disc bulge and mild L4-L5 bulge causing lower back pain and radiating down the left leg, including numbness in the second toe, you should explore conservative treatments like physical therapy and potentially a steroid injection before considering surgery. These non-surgical options can help manage pain and improve function

The doctor thinks I might have an ACL tear and meniscal tear in my right knee since I play professional club cricket and fitness is everything to me. Do I really need surgery for this?

ACL injury can be diagnosed by clinical examination and test,can be confirmed by MRI, ACL reconstruction has good results,can do all activities after reconstruction

Non surgical options include bracing,physical therapy,orthotic devices and in some cases surgery is advised.
