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.

View allI twisted my right knee playing football 2 months ago and the MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL ligament with some hyperintensity noted in the PDFs. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own with rest and rehab? What would you suggest for recovery?
For a partial ACL tear, especially after 2 months, the decision of whether to pursue surgery or conservative treatment depends on the severity of the tear, your activity level, and your individual goals. While partial tears can be treated without surgery, especially for less active individuals, the long-term outcome for those returning to unrestricted activity is variable, potentially leading to some instability

I'm dealing with a torn meniscus but the pain is manageable right now do I really need surgery or can I wait it out? If I don't get it treated, what could happen to the torn meniscus over time?
MRI scan and follow up with orthopaedician is advised.

The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing
