My left collarbone sticks out more on the left side and sits higher than the right, causing constant pain in my right shoulder when I stand for long periods. Can this be fixed with exercises or would I need surgery? Also, could this affect my posture in the long run?

It's important to consult with a medical professional or physical therapist to accurately diagnose the cause of your collarbone and shoulder pain. However, exercises and potential surgery are possible treatment options

View allI have myositis ossificans in my left elbow and I'm really worried about the treatment options. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other alternatives? Also, can you recommend a good elbow surgeon in Bangalore who specializes in this condition?
Myositis ossificans is often managed conservatively, with surgery reserved for severe cases that don't respond to other treatments. Conservative treatment typically includes rest, ice, elevation, activity modification, pain relief medications, and physical therapy. Surgery may be considered if the bony growth is causing significant pain, limitations in range of motion, or nerve compression

I just got my MRI report and it shows a complex tear in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and a partial ACL tear. There's also a grade 1 injury of the patellar tendon with medial subluxation of the patella, a medial patellar plica tear, and mild synovial effusion. How serious is this? Can I manage with therapy or do I need surgery?
The MRI results indicate a significant knee injury requiring careful consideration of treatment options. The complex tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, the horizontal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and the partial ACL tear all suggest a moderate to severe injury. While some meniscus tears and minor ACL injuries can be managed with physical therapy, the complexity of your injury, especially with the medial subluxation of the patella and plica tear, suggests that surgery may be a more likely path to full recovery and long-term knee health.

I was in an accident a couple weeks back and got some injuries on my elbow, forearm, and knee. Initially, my knee swelled up, not exactly where the injury was, but close by. All the injuries have healed now, but there's still swelling in that spot. I'm concerned whether it's just swelling or maybe some blood clotting. I couldn't bend my knee before, but now I can, although there's still some pain where the swelling is. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
It sounds like the swelling near your knee could be due to a soft tissue injury or internal bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal. Since you can now bend your knee, that's a positive sign, but the pain and swelling might take a little more time to subside. I recommend applying ice and elevating the knee, and if the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and possible imaging.
