Does drinking beer impact ACL surgery recovery I'm doing my physiotherapy daily but wondering if I should start gym workouts too
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally not recommended to drink alcohol after ACL surgery, especially in the initial stages of recovery. Alcohol can interfere with the healing process, potentially leading to complications like increased bleeding or infection. It can also disrupt your sleep, which is crucial for recovery

I had surgery for a hand bone fracture between my elbow and wrist last month and now have two plates in my left hand. I've been resting for a month and started physiotherapy slowly. When can I safely return to playing cricket and are there any long-term risks I should be aware of?
After 3-4 weeks bed rest.

I have a grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus but can walk fine and bend my knee fully. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?
A grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus usually indicates a complete tear, which typically does not heal on its own due to limited blood supply in that area. However, if you're not experiencing pain, instability, or functional limitations, conservative management like physiotherapy may be sufficient. An orthopedic consultation is recommended to assess the need for surgery based on your activity level and symptoms.
