I was diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear on an MRI about a month and a half ago and still can't bend my knee fully. It hurts when I stand or walk is there a chance it could heal without surgery? What should I do to stay safe and help it recover?

Medial meniscus tear may heal with physiotherapy and rest if small;surgery is needed for mechanical symptoms or persistent movement limitations.

I've been dealing with calcaneal bursitis for two years now and nothing seems to help tried both regular doctors and homeopathy but no luck. A new doctor suggested surgery but mentioned the bone might grow back. Is there any permanent fix for this? I'm ready to book an online appointment right away if there's a solution.

It's understandable that you're feeling frustrated after two years of dealing with calcaneal bursitis and not finding relief with traditional and homeopathic treatments. Since it's been persistent for this long, further investigation may be necessary

Had surgery on my finger yesterday and the pain is really bad today. The doctor prescribed Combiflum but it's not helping much. Since my doctor is far away now, can you suggest a stronger painkiller that might work better?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
