I have avascular necrosis in the scaphoid bone of both wrists and a fracture in the left wrist scaphoid too but I didn't have any injury it just happened naturally. Doctors are suggesting surgery as the only option but is there any chance to recover with just medication or other non-surgical treatments?

View allMy left elbow got injured after slipping on my motorcycle. One doctor recommended surgery while another said it's a blood clot. I've been taking regular meds for 3 months but still have pain and can't straighten my elbow. Can you check my x-ray and let me know what you think?
Persistent elbow pain needs imaging review—share X-ray for second opinion on clot vs fracture.

I'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.

I'm a 25-year-old woman, 54 inches tall and weigh 50 kg. My wrists are very thin with visible nerves, and my hands are overall slender. The rest of my body is strong and well-proportioned, but my wrists make me feel self-conscious. Is there any way to increase wrist and forearm size permanently, like through medication or surgery? Should I see an orthopedist, dietitian, or cosmetic surgeon for this issue?
