View allMy MRI shows a complete tear in the posterior horn and body of the lateral meniscus, along with a Schatzker type 3 lateral tibial plateau fracture and joint effusion. I don't have pain or locking, just a bit of swelling do I really need surgery for this?
It's difficult to say definitively whether you need surgery without a thorough examination by an orthopedic specialist. However, a complete tear in the lateral meniscus, along with a Schatzker type 3 tibial plateau fracture, usually necessitates surgical intervention. While the lack of pain and locking might be a positive sign, the tibial plateau fracture itself often requires surgical fixation.

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?
Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.
