I'm starting to get some pain in my left knee whenever I walk about half a kilometer. I had a screw put in there at your hospital 7 years ago. I'm really curious if I should be looking into getting the screw removed or if it's okay to continue living with it. What's the best way to go about this?

I'm a 23-year-old girl and I've been having back pains that get worse when I sit for a long time, like during my tuitions. It usually only gets better if I lie down. I'm thinking about taking Shelcal 500 mg since it has calcium and vitamin D3. Do you think it's okay for me to take one tablet every day to help with the pain? What do you suggest?

I'm experiencing some pain when I'm either standing up or lying down, specifically in my leg near my stomach. It seems to hurt even more when I put pressure on it. There's no blood or anything like that, but should I be concerned about this? What could be causing the pain?
