Question 2

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

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with avascular necrosis in both hips stage 3 on the left and stage 2 on the right. The doctor suggested hip replacement surgery, but I'm only 22 and worried about it. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery at this stage?

Accepted Answer

Stage 2‚Äì3 AVN can be managed with core decompression, bisphosphonates, or PRP‚Äîjoint replacement is for advanced collapse.

I'm 20 years old and dealing with something called pigeon chest. My chest is kind of bulging out and it feels weird. I'm also really weak and can't seem to gain any weight. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
