My 85-year-old mother fell last week and is experiencing pain in her chest (ribs), hands, and knees. She refuses to go to the hospital due to COVID concerns, and her doctor's office is closed today. How can we determine if she has broken anything without going to the hospital, and what steps should we take to ensure her safety and well-being?

I have a nerve stretch in my left leg calf causing pain, making it difficult to walk and forcing me to leave work. What have I tried so far to manage the pain, what type of pain is it, and what are all the medications I'm currently using? Additionally, is there anything else in my medical history the Doctor should know?

I hit my knee into the ground last evening playing soccer. My knee is swollen and filled with liquid, and my thigh muscle is very swollen. There is no real pain, about a 2 on a pain scale. Do I need to go into emergency or will the swelling subside? I have taken ibuprofen and am applying ice.
