I'm really worried about this report I got. It says there's a swelling on the dorsum of my left hand, with lots of polymorphs and macrophages, along with some debris. The report mentions a negative result for acid-fast bacilli, and recommends a PCR test for M. tuberculosis and a culture and sensitivity test. I'm not sure what all of this means or what I should do next. Could you help me understand the situation and what the best steps are to take from here? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.

My mom has ortho arthritis and the doctor mentioned injections as an alternative to knee replacement. Are these injections actually effective and do they come with any side effects? I'm worried about how safe they are for her.
Injections like corticosteroid and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections can be effective alternatives to knee replacement for some individuals with osteoarthritis, providing temporary pain relief and potentially delaying the need for surgery. However, they may not be a long-term solution, and side effects can occur, particularly with repeated injections.
