I'm feeling some pain at the base of my neck, and it radiates to my shoulder whenever I turn to the right side. I saw the doctor, and they mentioned it might be a cervical rib. Could you explain what this is? I'm a bit worried about what it means and what I should do next.

View allI'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?
may be due to sudden excess physical activity at gym

I have a grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus but can walk fine and bend my knee fully. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?
A grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually indicates a complete tear, which typically does not heal on its own due to limited blood supply in that area. However, if you're not experiencing pain, instability, or functional limitations, conservative management like physiotherapy may be sufficient. An orthopedic consultation is recommended to assess the need for surgery based on your activity level and symptoms.
