I'm experiencing this pain on the right side of my lower back, almost like a muscle pull. It doesn't bother me all the time, but when I sneeze or cough, it really hurts. I've tried using Volini gel and taking hot water showers, but the pain is still there after almost a week. I'm overweight and just started going to the gym again after years, mostly focusing on cardio. Could this be related to my gym workouts? How can I get rid of this pain so I can safely go back to the gym?

Are biodegradable screws actually worth it for ACL surgery and how much do they cost per piece Is there a more affordable treatment option available

Biodegradable screws can be a good option for ACL surgery, but they are generally more expensive than metal screws and may have potential complications like screw breakage or tunnel widening. While metal screws can cause MRI distortion or complications in revision surgery, they are generally more affordable. Screwless fixation techniques are also available, which may offer a more cost-effective approach with faster recovery

I fractured my leg over 15 days ago and just got my latest results. Can you take a look and tell me if I need surgery to fix the rod or if it's healing okay on its own?
