I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?

, some swelling don't resolve on other hand they may get infected with abcess formation , if it's local edema with just fluid collection it will subside over period of time , if its local collection of blood (hematoma) then incision is required . if there is discharge of pus with local tenderness ,get it drained or else wait.

I've been struggling with really tight hamstrings and can barely move my back properly are there any good physiologists who can help? I'm considering hamstring lengthening surgery but don't know much about how it works or what recovery looks like afterward. What should I expect if I go through with it?

The operation is done through a small cut in the skin. Through this small opening, little cuts are made into the tight muscles so they can be stretched and made longer.

My doctor said I need surgery for a non-union scaphoid fracture but quoted around 70-80k which is way beyond my budget. Are there any other treatment options or ways to reduce the cost? This seems really expensive for me to handle right now.

Scaphoid surgery is costly due to implant needs. Discuss subsidized options or government hospitals for affordable care if budget is limited.
