I've been experiencing some pain in my left arm, mainly in the biceps, triceps, and forearm areas. Ive already done an ECG and a lipid profile test, and both came back normal. I'm really concerned about what could be causing this discomfort. Could there be something else going on that I should check out?

This type of left arm pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, possibly due to overuse or muscle strain. I recommend taking a pain reliever such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to help with the discomfort. Additionally, applying a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac gel can also provide relief. Make sure to rest the affected arm and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.

My heels have been really hurting and the X-ray shows heel spurs. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?

Heel spurs are not typically treated surgically unless nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain after a significant period, usually 9-12 months. Most people find relief from heel pain with non-surgical treatments like stretching, shoe inserts, and physical therapy

Had ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Post-ACL symptoms suggest incomplete recovery or complications‚Äîrepeat evaluation and guided rehab are recommended.
