I've been having pain in my left knee for about two months now, and sometimes it makes a cracking sound when I straighten it. What could be causing this, and is surgery something I might need?

It's been over 120 days since my surgery and I'm still using an elbow crutch for support while walking. I feel a bit of pain in my knee, maybe from the implant, and some discomfort in the area where I had the fracture. Is this normal? I don't feel confident enough to walk without support yet. How much walking practice is safe at this stage, and what exercises can I do to build strength so I can walk without support soon? I've attached my x-ray from March 25 for reference.

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

I've been having some moderate pain in my tennis elbow area, and I'm starting to wonder if there's any way this could be related to excessive masturbation. Could that be causing it or making it worse? I'm really curious about how these things could be connected.

Excessive masturbation is not directly related to tennis elbow pain. The pain in your elbow is likely due to overuse of the muscles and tendons in that area. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or naproxen (Aleve) as per the recommended dosage on the package. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) to the affected area. Resting the arm, using a brace for support, and doing gentle stretching exercises may also help in relieving the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
