I've been dealing with a pituitary macroadenoma for 10 years and have been on cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week since 2016 to manage it. The tumor size hasn't reduced and has stayed the same for the last 3 years. I've been getting treatment at AIIMS since 2014 but really don't want to go for another transcranial surgery since I've already had two before. The meds or hormonal imbalance have also caused low libido and slower semen regeneration. I've tried Poona Hospital, SGPGI Lucknow, and now AIIMS but I'm exhausted from all the medications. Is there any way to remove this tumor completely without another major surgery? Currently taking Wysolone 2.5-5 mg on alternate days, Thyronorm 100 mg daily, and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week. What are my options now?

Given your history of previous shin bone injuries, it's essential to take this injury seriously and follow a proper recovery plan. *Immediate Action* 1. *Stop activity*: Avoid putting weight on the injured leg or engaging in any physical activity that may exacerbate the injury. 2. *Apply RICE principle*: - Rest: Give your leg a break and avoid activities that aggravate the injury. - Ice: Apply ice packs to the affected area for 15-20 minutes, 3-4 times a day. - Compression: Use an elastic bandage or compression wrap to help reduce swelling. - Elevation: Elevate your leg above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 3. *Pain management*: You can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage pain and inflammation. *Medical Attention* Consider visiting an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a proper evaluation and guidance. They may recommend: 1. *X-rays or imaging tests*: To rule out any fractures or other underlying conditions. 2. *Physical therapy*: To help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility in the affected leg. 3. *Customized rehabilitation plan*: To ensure a safe and effective return to sports. *Recovery and Prevention* 1. *Gradual return to activity*: Once cleared by your doctor, gradually return to football and other physical activities to avoid re-injury. 2. *Wear proper gear*: Always wear shin guards and other protective gear during football games and practices. 3. *Strengthen your legs*: Engage in exercises that strengthen your leg muscles, particularly the anterior tibialis muscle, to help prevent future injuries.
