I've been having this pain around my right collar bone and shoulder, and it gets worse when I sneeze, cough, or take a deep breath. It's really bothering me when I move my arms, and even when I lean on my left shoulder, the pain kicks in. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or get it checked out?

This type of pain can be caused by muscle strain, injury, or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, applying ice to the affected area and avoiding activities that worsen the pain can also be helpful. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help

Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.

I had a scooter accident 15 days ago and the MRI shows a full ACL tear, but I can still do most daily activities with minimal pain. Do I really need surgery or can I manage without it?

While you might be able to manage with a full ACL tear without surgery, especially if you're not highly active, the decision depends on your individual lifestyle and goals. Surgery is often recommended for athletes or those who participate in activities that require pivoting or twisting movements. Conservative treatment with physical therapy and bracing is an option for those with less demanding activities
