Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

I'm having trouble bending my left index finger after I had k wire surgery. It's been almost a year now since the surgery, and I'm starting to worry because the finger not only won't bend but also looks different. They used a k wire to connect two bones. What could be going wrong here? Should I be concerned about the shape being off? It's really bothering me and I'm not sure what to do next.

Considering your concerns after K-wire surgery, consult an orthopedic specialist or hand surgeon for personalized evaluation and guidance

My MRI shows a complete ACL tear and mild joint effusion but the doctor with 25 years of experience says there's no ACL injury just mild cartilage damage and the MRI doesn't match his clinical findings He suggested physiotherapy and a knee brace for 6 months with possible surgery only if needed Should I trust this diagnosis or get a second opinion

It's understandable to feel concerned when your MRI contradicts your doctor's assessment. While your doctor's experience is valuable, a second opinion is advisable to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your knee injury.
