Why is my left rib pain worsening?
The normal test results might point to the condition called costochondritis, which involves the inflammation of the cartilage linking your ribs to the breastbone. Due to cartilage inflammation, the pain can be stabbing and may be felt more severely when you are active or deep breathing. Although it can be hard to heal the condition related to this, there are things you can do to help heal it. Stay away from things that activate the pain, positional ice or heat to the site, and over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen. See an orthopedist in time to get a full evaluation.

What does bilateral S1 pseudoarthrosis mean?
S1 shows partial lumbarization. This is indicative of an unusual section of your back. It may be responsible for the pain you feel in your lower back. If a bone does not go the way it is supposed to, it will join another bone and cause an immovable joint which is what S1 - S2 bilateral sacroiliitis refers to. If there is no sudden fracture then there is none. Try to have some rest; take mild painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen which can be bought over the counter at any pharmacy near you then after doing all this if it doesn’t work out fine consult a physiotherapist who will provide appropriate therapy for relief apart from doing exercises that are not too strenuous.

Could right side lower back pain be serious?
The possible cause could be straining the muscles or having a bad posture due to sitting in one position for too long. Furthermore, back pain may also be an indication of kidney problems.

Should I Resume Normal Activities After Knee Twist?
You might have twisted your knee again while playing badminton. Aching dull pain when you try to straighten or tighten your knee could mean the ligament has been pulled too hard. It’s great that you can still walk and go upstairs. To let it get better, you should rest as much as possible, put your leg up from time to time, and avoid doing anything too hard for a while.
