Bump in my wrist

I have been going to the gym for the past 2-3 weeks and since 3-4 days I have noticed a bump in the left side of my right wrist. It is a slightly stiff bump and pains when I bend my wrist backwards. Its size reduces the day I rest but increases again after going to gym. It is something I should be worried about?

Neck and lower back pain

I have severe neck pain and I’m unable to sit properly or watch a movie because of the pain. The pain starts from my neck and shoulder and radiates down to my right thumb. When I use a computer mouse, I experience numbness from my thumb up to my elbow, and this has been happening for the past two weeks. Recently, I also developed severe pain in the left side of my buttock, slightly toward the middle/side of the muscle. The pain is so severe that I’m having difficulty walking, and I also have significant back pain even when I’m at rest. I had an X-ray, but it was normal. If the X-ray is normal, what could be causing this severe neck, arm, buttock, and back pain?

Calcific Achilles Tendonitis

Hello Doctor, I am a football player and had suffered an injury in my Achilles tendon of both of my legs a few months back. Initially, I took a few days of rest and resumed playing once there was no pain. However, I again got an injury on my right Achilles tendon, and this time the pain was so severe that I was unable to put weight on my right heel. After undergoing X-ray and ultrasound, I have been diagnosed with Achilles calcific tendinitis on both of my legs. Could you please advise on: 1. How long does recovery typically take in such cases? 2. Will I be able to return to competitive football?
