non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.

I've been dealing with a sprained ankle for about 18 days now and there's still some swelling. I saw an ortho who checked the X-rays and said there's no fracture, just a sprain. He gave me Dolanzen and Lormoto for two weeks. The pain's better, but I'm still having trouble walking and there's some swelling left. How long does it usually take to fully heal from a sprain like this? Do you think the meds I'm on are okay? What can I do to get rid of the remaining swelling?

Yes there is cure for that visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

I've been having lower back pain when standing, walking, or bending. My doctor recommended wearing a back belt and avoiding bending, but said surgery might be needed if it continues. Does this sound like the right approach or are there other options I should consider? The pain's been persistent and I'm worried about it getting worse.
