Question

I'm scheduled for ACL reconstruction surgery next month but I'm currently taking Luramax 40, Arpizol, and Sizopin for my mental health. Do I need to stop these meds before the surgery and if so, how long before? Also, what kind of complications could these meds cause during the procedure?

Question

I've been having some problems with my right leg for the past two months. I had a bad fall down the stairs, and my whole body weight landed on that leg, causing it to twist. I initially took some medications, and it felt better for a while, but now the pain is back. It mostly shows up when I walk, right below the knee, and sometimes affects the back of my ankle and knee. Occasionally, it even moves to my calf or thigh muscles. I'm feeling like my leg is weaker and stiffer, and I can't exert full pressure, which is making walking pretty tough. I also tried physiotherapy for a week, but it didn't seem to offer much relief. What would you suggest I do now? Would love some advice!

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?
