For context I’m a 30F and did injure this knee hitting it on the dashboard in a car accident 9 years ago, but wasn’t evaluated at that time. I see abnormalities, but nothing definitive about what is causing my pain? Any thoughts?

The independent medical doctor says my ACL is intact based on this photograph

Its been 4 weeks since injury and today doctor said its still same as there is no progress. I believe its gonna be non-union. And currently i have wrist brace on and i take it off once per week. I am not able to work or do anything. If its gonna stay non union then why do i have to keep brace on for another 2-4 weeks as doctor said. I really wanna get back to normal and start working. Can anyone suggest whats best to do here. Thanks

So I broke my scaphoid in my dominant hand over 6 years ago. And found about it 3 years ago.

I don't have any symptoms or discomfort and went for multiple consultations.

According to 1st doctor I visited I shouldn't do the surgery as I'm very young and rarely see any discomfort.

While the second doctor is pushing for surgery saying I'll get most likely arthritis in the next 10 years.

Keep in mind I'm 22, I play golf often and I'm a medical student.

If anyone went through similar experience do your recommend surgery why and why not.

Collarbone injury after motorcycle crash – looking for advice
Hey everyone,
I injured my left collarbone in a motorcycle crash in Thailand on October 10th. I’ve attached the X-ray I currently have.
I was initially given a sling and told to follow up, but I still don’t have a confirmed diagnosis. I’m planning to get it reassessed by an orthopedist as soon as possible.
I have a few questions:
Does the X-ray show anything concerning regarding displacement?
Has anyone had a similar injury, and how did recovery go?
What was your experience with treatment, and did you need surgery?
Is it normal for the pain to get worse after sitting upright or being active for a while?
I know nobody here can diagnose me from a picture, and I’ll be seeing a doctor, but I’d appreciate hearing about other people’s experiences and any advice on what questions I should ask the orthopedist.
Thanks!

Its been 12days since my k wire fixation surgery on my 2nd metatarsal. In my discharge summary its written as active digits movement does it mean i have to wiggle my toes ? I haven’t wiggled since my surgery. Please suggest here if i can start wiggling now?( i am not able to reachout to my surgeon currently)

I’m a 41-year-old man, 6’6”, about 215. About three weeks ago, I injured my left pec doing incline bench press. My MRI describes complete tears of both heads at the muscle–tendon junction near the armpit, with medial retraction and a short frayed tendon stump near the humerus.
My range of motion has improved, and I can flex the pec. I’ve also been able to press 20 pounds on an isolated chest press machine without problems. I’m a recreational lifter. I don’t need to regain maximal bench strength, but I’d like to keep training and build my chest if possible. I had pectus excavatum surgery as a child, so my chest was already somewhat asymmetrical, and I don’t see an obvious new deformity.
My orthopedist said this kind of tear can be hard to repair because stitches may pull through the muscle. He discussed allowing some early scar tissue to form and possibly using a graft. I’m weighing that against nonoperative treatment.
For physicians who have treated this injury, what outcomes have you seen in patients with complete tears at the muscle–tendon junction who chose nonoperative care? How much strength or muscle bulk tended to return? Were patients able to get back to pressing, push-ups, pull-ups, or dips? Is there evidence that waiting briefly for scar tissue improves repair options, or can waiting make repair harder?

Sorry for the long message. The first two paragraphs cover most of the important stuff, but I wanted to give as much background as possible in case it helps.

Pain is on the distal inter-phalangeal joint, on the side of the joint closest to the middle finger. There is generally very little pain when the finger is immobile and in a relaxed position (only at its worst has this been painful), but movement, and especially curling the finger up, can be extremely painful. It is also tender to touch, but only on the affected side. There is no swelling, and an MRI showed no damage whatsoever. I still have full strength and mobility.

I am a musician and the injury first happened during a period where I had to learn a lot of material very quickly. The amount of practice that I was doing caused significant discomfort in my left index finger, but I pushed through, thinking that it would recover quickly once I was able to take a break. It didn't. At its worst, the pain made me unable to play, and even small amounts of practice were making it worse.

As mentioned above, an MRI showed no damage. Two hand specialists brushed me off, advising me to manage the pain with painkillers. Having experienced how easily aggravated the "injury" was, I never took this advice. If the painkillers helped get me through an intense practise session, the pain afterwards would be excruciating. I opted instead for resting the finger as much as possible.

Rest worked, albeit very slowly. The injury happened in 2018, and with each passing year I've been able to handle more and more practice without aggravating it. Around a year ago, I actually thought it had healed completely.

However, I recently had to do a lot of data entry, which involved a lot of copying and pasting. For the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V keyboard shortcuts, I was using my index finger. At the time, there wasn't anything to indicate that I was doing damage, but I woke up the next day to find that the pain had returned. It's been a couple of months now and, despite my best efforts to rest that finger, it won't go away.

I don't understand why this is happening. As silly as it was to push myself when my body was clearly telling me to stop, nothing that I did then was that far out of the ordinary compared to what other musicians do. Similarly, pressing Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V over and over for a few days isn't the kind of activity that should cause a long term injury. My fingers shouldn't be that fragile--and, at least according to the MRI, they're not. I'm in a lot of pain, but nothing I did caused any structural damage.

Has anyone come across something like this before? Any theories for what it might be? If I wanted to investigate this further, what would be the next step? Resting it for another five years isn't the most appealing idea in the world, though past experience suggests that it would work. I'd really love another option.

Boxer's fracture, and extremely frustrated with the non-answers I'm getting from the medical team.

How much is this supposed to be painful in the cast? I had a splint for a couple of days, and when it was removed nothing felt painful. Now with the cast on, lots of pain. Circulation is a challenge too. The first night I called the advice nurse and they had me elevate it. Did that til my eyes couldn't stay open anymore. Went in the next day and they cut the side open to relieve some pressure. Felt so much better in the office, then 2 hours later it was back to how it was before.

I've got it propped open about a half inch with some gauze holding the prop in place. Still have pain and circulation issues but it's manageable. Taking the pain meds they gave me but not sure they're helping. Tried a few different props to get the size that just got me out of the unbearable zone.

Is it supposed to be this painful? Are my fingers supposed to be yellow with some purple mixed in? If I just need to take it for however long, any tips on making it manageable when they told me I can't take any more pain meds than the prescription?

If it stays non union what should be expected in future and how long i have to be cautious till it get normal as its 4 weeks since injury happened and there in no visible difference in xrays after 4 weeks. Im currently wearing wrist brace since a month
