Question

I was diagnosed with AVN possibly in the first or second stage and was told core decompression might be needed. Is there any chance it can be treated with just medications without surgery? I have my CT, MRI, and X-ray reports could I share them with you for your opinion if you provide an email address?

Question

It's been a month since my revision ACL surgery and meniscus repair. I've been doing physio and can bend my knee almost fully, but I still can't straighten it completely like my other knee it stays a bit forward when I stand. Is this normal, or should I be doing something different to help it straighten out?

Question

I broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?
