I've been dealing with a D12 compression fracture from an accident, and at first, the pain disappeared after about three months. But after a recent flight, I noticed some discomfort when the plane was landing. Now it's spreading to a few spots along with the original D12 area. Should I be thinking about going for another MRI or just stick to medication for now?

if the fracture is healed there will not be such problems in flight journey, it may be due back muscles strain because of long term sitting in upright posture, take hot or cold pack, if doesn't subside consult orthopedic surgeon

My doctor said I need surgery for a non-union scaphoid fracture but quoted around 70-80k which is way beyond my budget. Are there any other treatment options or ways to reduce the cost? This seems really expensive for me to handle right now.

Scaphoid surgery is costly due to implant needs. Discuss subsidized options or government hospitals for affordable care if budget is limited.

I had surgery for a hand bone fracture between my elbow and wrist last month and now have two plates in my left hand. I've been resting for a month and started physiotherapy slowly. When can I safely return to playing cricket and are there any long-term risks I should be aware of?

After 3-4 weeks bed rest.

Ive been dealing with a problem between the L4 and L5 for the last 25 days. Initially, I suffered from back pain, but now for the past 10 days, the pain has moved to the right side of my leg and is not so much in my back. Is this something I should be worried about, and what can I do to alleviate it?

You are now experiencing referred pain, because the nervous supply of the legs takes root from the lumbo-sacral section of the spine. The treatment will involve physiotherapy and non-steroidal anti inflammatory medication. In order to determine extent and severity, consult a spine surgeon for a reliable treatment plan.
