View allI have Potts spine at D4 and D5 with TB and got two different opinions one doctor recommends surgery to remove fluid first then TB meds while another says just medication would work what's the best approach for my case
The optimal approach for spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) at D4 and D5, with the presence of fluid and differing opinions, depends on the severity of your case, the extent of spinal cord compression, and the presence of abscesses. Both surgical and medical management have a role, and the decision should be made by a multidisciplinary team of experts, considering your specific situation

Is it possible to get both knees replaced in one surgery or do I have to wait between procedures How long would the gap need to be if they can't be done together
Yes, it's possible to get both knees replaced in one surgery, known as a simultaneous bilateral knee replacement, or to have them done separately, a staged bilateral knee replacement. The choice depends on your individual health, medical history, and surgeon's recommendations. If staged, a gap of several months is typically recommended between the surgeries

I've been having some issues since I had surgery to repair my Achilles tendon. My body seems to be retaining fluid, I'm gaining weight, and I've been experiencing shortness of breath, which got me wondering if it might be CHF. But my cardiologist says my heart's doing fine, and my pulmonologist says there's no sign of COPD or any respiratory issues. All my liver tests have come back normal too. They're pinning my breathing problems on my weight, but honestly, I feel like the weight gain started after the breathing issues. Could it be possible that something went wrong during my surgery that's causing these symptoms? My foot's still painful too.
no it cannot be because of surgery
