Not Neccasarily: Pus is basically when the fighting white blood cells surround a foreign invader in your system.  It may be bacteria but it also can be a foreign body, or dead tissue.

Unless it is worsening and you have fevers, chills, and other concerns, close observation is not necessarily wrong.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Pus may be infection: Pus is formed when the body is fighting an infection. It may be a sign of a healthy immune system, ergo the term "laudable pus". Pus is full of white blood cells (which fight infection) and microorganisms causing the infection. However, when pus collects in a cavity it forms an abscess. Pus should be drained from wounds to help fight the infection and help the wound to heal normally.

Question 7

treatment for a slap tear?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depending on the severity of the tear and the significance of the symptoms, there are two basic options.  Physical therapy can decrease pain and improve function by strengthening different parts of the shoulder to take stress off of the labrum ( the structure that is torn with a slap tear) .  Surgery aims to tack the labrum back to where it came from and have it heal . This will also fix it.

Question 8

is there treatment for a rotator cup tear?

Accepted Answer

Therapy vs repair: Not all rotator cuff tears are treated the same. Factors such as  age of patient, age of the tear, size of tear, location of the tear, and most importantly the symptoms of the patient all help determine the best course of treatment. A trial of nonoperative management with therapy and perhaps an injection is the usual 1st line of treatment. Surgery may be indicated if nonoperative treatment fails.

Question 9

will my knife wound heal without treatment?

Accepted Answer

Seek treatment  : The  human body when injured promptly sets upon the task of attempting to heal itself.  If the injury itself does not compromise the functioning of a vital organ then   when given enough time any injury involving  the "soft tissues" of the body can heal. The caveat however is that if not treated appropriately  underlying injuries can be missed , infectious and cosmetic complication can also arise.

Question 10

treatment options for a rhomboid major tear?

Accepted Answer

See below: Rhomboid muscle strains are treated conservatively (non-surgically). You will have to avoid any activity that makes the condition worse, which may involve temporarily changing your sport to one that does not involve using the strained muscles.
 The application of ice to the affected area will help to reduce inflammation and pain. Ice can be crushed in a bag, covered with a towel, and placed under the back when you lie down. You can apply ice every few hours for the first two or three days after the injury, and keep the ice in position for as long as is comfortable.
 After a couple of days of treating the area with ice, hot showers can often be an effective treatment for pain associated with rhomboid muscle strain.
 You can take over-the-counter NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) according to instructions, or your doctor may prescribe stronger medication if necessary. Examples of NSAIDs are ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin. 
 Massage can provide relief, and can be done at home quite easily by placing a tennis ball on the floor, lying down and rolling the ball under the rhomboid muscles. 
 Physical therapy in the form of exercises will be recommended. You will be advised when it is safe to start performing the exercises. Go carefully and do not continue to exercise if you are finding it painful.
 When you are able to move your arms and shoulders without pain, you can resume your normal activities. Recovery times depend on the individual, but the sooner you start treatment after the injury, the shorter the recovery time will be
