I've been dealing with this wound on my left knee for about a week now, and it's really frustrating. I can't put any weight on it without needing some support. I've tried using cipladine and betadine, but the pus just won't go away. Do you have any suggestions on what might work better?

Question

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

Question

I've had ACL and meniscus surgery back in August, and then in December, I slipped and fell. My knee's not swollen, but it bent all the way back, which hurt for a couple of days. It's been a few weeks now, and I'm back at the gym. I'm pretty sure it's not my ACL, but I'm worried about the meniscus. There are minor pains, nothing too severe, but I don't have health insurance. I can jog and jump, but there's something a bit off in my knee. How can I tell if I might have torn my meniscus?

Question

I'm really worried about my leg injury. A bike fell on it, and although the x-ray showed no bone injuries, the swelling and pain are still quite bad. The doctor thinks it might be a muscle crush or a blood clot under the skin. I've been using Chymoral BR, Osteonec SP, Thrombophobgel, and ice packs as prescribed. However, even after a few days, the swelling hasn't gone down, and it still hurts even if I just let it hang. He mentioned that if it doesn't get better, I might need a cut in the leg. Does this sound like the right approach? Could there be something else that's causing the swelling and pain to persist?
