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 allI broke my pinky toe about 6 weeks ago, and while the bone did fuse back a bit, it was only half fused, causing me to walk awkwardly. The doctor said it was a malunion, and I had surgery two days ago to fix it with a K wire in my toe. The pain was really bad the first day but now it only hurts a little if I move my foot left or right. The doctor recommended taking a week off to rest and then start walking again. How long does it usually take for a fracture with a K wire to heal properly? Will walking with the K wire be painful or lead to any complications? I'm just looking for some advice on what to expect.

I've had knee pain for about a year now and just got my MRI results. It shows a Grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, minimal joint effusion, and a Baker's cyst measuring 1.8x1.5x2.9 cm. Is surgery necessary or can proper exercises help heal this?
It's unlikely that surgery is immediately necessary for your knee pain, given the MRI findings. While the Grade 2 meniscus tear, minimal effusion, and Baker's cyst are potential sources of pain, conservative treatments like physical therapy and pain management are often effective, especially with these findings. Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments fail or if the tear is severe and causing significant functional limitations.
