I'm worried about my knees. I've been told I have chondromalacia grade 4, and I'm really concerned about it progressing into osteoarthritis. Also, I've started doing some quadriceps strengthening exercises, like box squats and lunges, to try to help with the stability, but I'm scared that I might be damaging my cartilage even more. Is that something I should be really cautious about?

Sinarest 500mg (Paracetamol and Phenylephrine) for Sinus Infection: Permanent Cure and Symptoms Relief
Sinarest 500mg is a combination medication containing paracetamol (pain reliever) and phenylephrine (decongestant). While it can provide relief from sinus infection symptoms, it may not cure the infection permanently.
Symptoms Relief:
Sinarest 500mg can help alleviate:
- Headache and facial pain
- Congestion and stuffiness
- Fever
- Runny nose

Permanent Cure:
Sinarest 500mg is not a permanent cure for sinus infections. To achieve a permanent cure, you may need:
- Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, antibiotics may be necessary to clear the infection.
- Antifungal medications: If the infection is fungal, antifungal medications may be required.
- Surgery: In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct underlying anatomical issues or remove blockages.
To achieve a permanent cure, consult your doctor to determine the underlying cause of your sinus infection and develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

View allMy mom is 63 and has been having knee pain lately. She's using Himalaya joint pain oil which helps a bit but she's scared to see a doctor in case they recommend surgery. Should we keep using the oil or is it better to get her checked out?
It's important for your mother to see a doctor about her knee pain, even if it's just for a bit of relief with the Himalaya oil. While the oil may offer temporary relief, it's not a long-term solution and a doctor can help determine the cause and recommend the best course of treatment, which may not always involve surgery.

I've been having some moderate pain in my tennis elbow area, and I'm starting to wonder if there's any way this could be related to excessive masturbation. Could that be causing it or making it worse? I'm really curious about how these things could be connected.
Excessive masturbation is not directly related to tennis elbow pain. The pain in your elbow is likely due to overuse of the muscles and tendons in that area. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as per the recommended dosage on the package. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) to the affected area. Resting the arm, using a brace for support, and doing gentle stretching exercises may also help in relieving the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

My MRI report shows a complete tear in the middle part of the ACL and a full tear of the distal MCL. Is there any chance these injuries can heal on their own without needing surgery? I'm really worried about recovery options.
A full ACL tear typically requires surgery for a full recovery, especially if you are active or have high physical demands. While some individuals can manage with bracing and physical therapy, the ACL lacks a blood supply and heals poorly without surgery. MCL tears, on the other hand, often heal well with conservative treatment like bracing and physical therapy, even if they are full tears.
