I'm scheduled for ACL reconstruction surgery next month but I'm currently taking Luramax 40, Arpizol, and Sizopin for my mental health. Do I need to stop these meds before the surgery and if so, how long before? Also, what kind of complications could these meds cause during the procedure?

I've had recurrent shoulder dislocations it's happened over 1,000 times now. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm unsure if it'll help. Will I be able to return to playing sports after the procedure? Does surgery guarantee a full recovery, or are there other exercises I can try to strengthen my shoulder instead?
Recurrent shoulder dislocations benefit most from arthroscopic Bankart repair—surgery helps resume sports with low recurrence if rehab is followed well.

I've been riding my bike a lot lately, and now my shoulder bone is really hurting. It's getting to the point where I can't even drive or lift anything. Should I be worried that it's something serious, or is this just normal soreness?
The shoulder pain you're experiencing while driving your bike could be due to repetitive strain, poor posture, or overuse, but it's essential to consult an orthopedic specialist to rule out any underlying conditions such as shoulder impingement, rotator cuff injury, or cervical radiculopathy; in the meantime, try applying ice packs, stretching, and taking regular breaks while driving to alleviate the discomfort.
