Question 1

My elbow carrying angle is currently 18 degrees but I need to reduce it to 15 degrees or less for my Indian army medical exam. Is there any way to correct this without surgery? I'm really worried it might affect my chances

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with AVN in my right hip and the pain is getting really bad. Can you tell me roughly how much a hip replacement would cost in Mumbai and suggest some good but affordable hospitals for the procedure?

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because yesterday I collided with someone while playing football and hit my chest pretty hard with my fist. I used a cold pack right away, and the pain seemed to lessen, but this morning it was back just as bad. There's no redness or pain when I breathe, but if I move or stretch, like getting out of bed, it really hurts. Sometimes it even hurts when I cough hard. I've been taking dolo after meals in the morning and at night, and I'm using belladonna plaster along with hot water pack treatments twice a day. Should I go see a doctor right away, or is it okay to monitor the pain a bit longer? Am I doing the right things with the medicines and treatments?

Accepted Answer

if pain is reduced, then no need to visit the doctor

I have a ligament injury in my right knee and got an MRI done is it possible to recover without surgery or would I need to go that route

Small ligament injuries can heal with bracing and rehab; surgery if instability or tear is complete.
