I've been playing badminton for quite a long time, about 34 years actually, and I've never had any issues before. But lately, I've noticed that when I wake up early in the morning, I experience some sort of pain on my left-hand side. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

It is possible that you are experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in your left hand due to repetitive use during badminton. I recommend taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (e.g. Voltaren) to the affected area. Make sure to rest your hand and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, consult a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.

View allmy right thumb is fractured and the doctor is recommending surgery with k wires is there any other treatment option or do i really need the surgery
If the fracture is displaced or unstable, K-wire surgery is the standard approach. Minor, stable fractures can sometimes be managed with casting. Get a second opinion with X-ray.

I met with an accident a week ago and the first doctor I saw recommended surgery but the second one said it's not needed. Why do doctors have such different opinions about the same injury? It's really confusing and worrying me.
If you receive conflicting opinions from two doctors, consider the following steps: Understand the Opinions: Take time to understand both diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Ask each doctor to explain their reasoning. Gather More Information: Research the conditions and suggested treatments to better understand the medical issues at hand. Ask Questions: Reach out to both doctors with any questions or concerns you have about their opinions. This could clarify their reasoning and help you make an informed decision. Seek a Third Opinion: If you're still uncertain, consider consulting a third doctor. This can provide additional perspectives and help you weigh your options. Consider Specialization: If the opinions differ significantly, it might be useful to consult a specialist related to the specific condition. Evaluate Your Options: After gathering all the information, consider your own health, preferences, and values when making a decision about treatment. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your instincts about which opinion resonates more with you, and feel empowered to choose a path that feels right. Follow Up: Regardless of the decision, ensure you have a plan for follow-up care and monitoring. It's important to have open communication with your healthcare providers throughout this process
