I had a major humerus fracture and got a plate put in almost two years back. Now I'm having pain when I move my arm too much at work and can't lift my left hand above my shoulder. What can I do to help it heal better and when would be the right time to get the plate removed?

I've been building homes recently and started feeling a burning sensation in my inner left leg, like maybe I pulled a muscle. But now it's gotten worse and moved down past my knee. It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?

My MRI report says there are PDFS hyperintense signals in the lower half of my ACL with a possible mild partial tear of fibers does this mean I'll need surgery or are there other options to consider first?

A hyperintense signal on an MRI, particularly a PDFS sequence, and a possible mild partial tear of the ACL fibers in the lower half of the ligament, might indicate a Grade 2 injury, which typically suggests a stretching and partial tear. While surgery isn't always the first line of treatment for a partial ACL tear, it's crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon or doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation
