I'm wondering if it's really necessary to have a POP for an air crack in my left hand. They used a plaster of Paris bandage on it, but I'm not in much pain. Do you think just a roll bandage would be enough?

my doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options

Biovisc injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation, can be a viable alternative to surgery for shoulder pain and joint gap, but they may not be a permanent solution. These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.
