My left elbow had surgery with a plate inserted two months ago but I still can't rotate my hand properly and have flexibility issues. I'm doing wax mobilization but what else can I do to recover faster?

To recover faster from your elbow surgery, continue with your current wax mobilization and incorporate a more comprehensive physical therapy plan. This should include exercises to improve range of motion, gentle stretching, and strengthening exercises for the muscles around the elbow and forearm.

I'm really concerned about this back pain I've been having around my waist area for about a year now. It hurts whenever I stand or sit in one spot for over an hour and it gets worse if I lift something heavy or bend over to do stuff for like 10 to 20 minutes. The weird thing is, it eases up when I rest or lie down. I haven't had any injuries or medical conditions that I'm aware of, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this just be a muscle sprain, or is there something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like your back pain could be related to muscle strain or poor posture, especially if it worsens with prolonged sitting or lifting. It might also be due to muscle imbalances or tension. If rest helps, that's a good sign, but I recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation to rule out other possible causes.

I've had an ACL injury that doesn't seem to be healing properly - my knee still makes popping sounds and hurts when I try to move it. I can't bend my knee all the way or climb stairs without pain. Should I consider surgery for this?
