I've been dealing with left shoulder pain for two years now, and it's really limiting my movements some motions cause intense pain. My BP is under control, but the MRI showed issues in my left shoulder. One doctor suggested rotator cuff repair surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the best option. What would you recommend for long-term relief, and what should I expect if I go through with the surgery?

Chronic shoulder pain with MRI findings often benefits from rotator cuff repair—physiotherapy first, then surgery if no relief; recovery takes weeks.

View allI have a full thickness grade 3 tear in the mid segment of my ACL and was told I need surgery. Is there any chance this can heal with just meds or other treatments without going under the knife? How long would recovery take if I don't get surgery?
Grade 3 ACL tear won’t heal fully without surgery; non-op rehab may offer some support, but risk of instability remains—surgery ensures full recovery in active individuals.

I'm a 31-year-old male and I recently got a hyaluronic acid injection for chondromalasia. I've noticed a bit of swelling in my leg, from my knee down to my foot. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just part of the process? Also, how long does it usually take to see the full benefits of the injection?
Mild swelling in the leg from knee to foot after hyaluronic acid injection for chondromalacia is a common and temporary side effect, typically resolving within 1-3 weeks; the full therapeutic effect of the injection usually becomes apparent within 4-6 weeks, with optimal results often seen after 2-3 months, but individual responses may vary, so follow-up with your doctor to monitor progress and address any concerns.

Had surgery on my finger yesterday and the pain is really bad today. The doctor prescribed Combiflum but it's not helping much. Since my doctor is far away now, can you suggest a stronger painkiller that might work better?
continue same treatment for 5 days as advised.
