Had arthroscopy surgery 3 months ago for a small medial meniscus tear, trochlear dysplasia, and an ACL sprain but still dealing with pain, stiffness, and locking in my knee. The MRI also showed mild quadriceps tendinosis and a loose body in the joint. Why am I not recovering well and what should I do next?

View allI have a bimalleolar fracture in my lower right leg and my surgery is scheduled in two weeks is it safe to wait that long? Also, I've noticed bruising near my knee on my calf, which seems pretty far from the ankle fracture. Should I be worried about that?
A repeat x ray is advised prior to the surgery to check any fractures and soft tissue swelling.

I've been dealing with a hard lump on my right shin for a couple of months now. It's about an inch in diameter, really firm but not painful. I play soccer every day, so I'm wondering if it's just a bruise or something more serious. Should I be worried?
The hard, painless lump on your shin, present for a couple of months, could be a benign bone growth, such as an osteochondroma or a bone spur, possibly related to repetitive trauma or bruises from playing soccer; however, to rule out other potential causes, like a stress fracture, soft tissue tumor, or infection, consult an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, X-rays, or an MRI, to determine the cause and appropriate management.
