What's the role of the fibula in ankle movement? I had surgery on my tibia and fibula 5 months ago, but my ankle still won't bend no matter how much I try. I've been walking for a month now, but the pain in my ankle is getting worse. Could this be related to how the fibula heals? I've attached my x-ray for reference.

I'm feeling really stressed today, and now I have this pain in my right shoulder and arm. It's so bad that I can't even lift my arm above my head without it hurting. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

The shoulder and arm pain you're experiencing, especially if it's provoked by stress and affects your ability to lift your arm, could be related to musculoskeletal issues such as a strain or tendonitis. However, if there is any concern that the pain might be cardiac-related, it's important to rule out conditions like angina, especially given your stress. I recommend visiting your healthcare provider to evaluate the cause of your pain and ensure appropriate treatment. They may suggest rest, ice, and possibly anti-inflammatory medications, or they may perform further tests to rule out any cardiac involvement.

I tried using Volini, thinking it might help, but unfortunately, it hasn't. I'm starting to get really concerned. Could you shed some light on what's going on or suggest what else I might try?

Given your recent fall and persistent lower back pain, consider consulting an orthopedic doctor
