Had surgery for knee bursitis about 10 months ago but now the pain is back can't bend my knee properly and standing for more than 20 minutes hurts. Could this be bursitis returning or something else going on?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it's possible that your knee pain is due to bursitis returning, but it could also be caused by other factors, such as insufficient rehabilitation, re-injury, or even the progression of other knee conditions. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

View allI've been having meniscus pain and the doctor suggested keyhole surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Are there other options to manage the pain or heal without surgery? What would you recommend trying first?
Yes, there are alternative options to manage meniscus pain and potentially heal without surgery. Initially, try the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs. Physical therapy can also help improve range of motion and strength. If these conservative treatments don't provide enough relief, discuss options like steroid injections or a more intensive physical therapy program with your doctor

20 days post ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial medial meniscectomy, my operated leg looks much thinner and weaker now. The calf has lost size and firmness too. Is this muscle loss normal after surgery and how long does it usually take to regain the original leg diameter and strength?
Yes, the thinning and weakening of your operated leg, including the calf, is a common and normal occurrence after ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. This muscle loss, known as disuse atrophy, is primarily due to the limited activity and immobilization in the initial post-operative period. The recovery timeline for regaining original leg diameter and strength varies, but it can take several months, typically 9 to 12 months, with a gradual progression through physical therapy
