I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?

Daflon (Diosmin) is a flavonoid used to treat varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and other vascular disorders. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual patient needs.

According to the manufacturer's guidelines and medical literature, the typical recommended dosage for Daflon in the treatment of varicose veins is:

500 mg twice daily (BID) or

1000 mg once daily (OD)

Both dosing regimens have been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and reducing inflammation in patients with varicose veins.

Can you suggest non-surgical treatment options for horizontal tears in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus and posterior horn of the medial meniscus? There's also a bit of joint effusion and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible

MRI is advised,ortho opinion

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?

kindly share report

I have a grade 1 ACL tear and it hurts when I walk sometimes the pain is really bad but other times it's not there at all. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?

ACL repair and reconstruction is advised ,yes it is the correct approach.
