I've had this metal rod in my lower leg for about 5 years now. Everything's been okay until recently, when I started feeling a constant pain near the knee where the screw is fixed. I'm considering getting the rod removed, but I'm worried about whether my leg will end up weaker after the operation and how long the recovery will take. Any advice?

The recovery time can vary depending on individual factors, but typically it takes about 6-8 weeks for the bone to fully heal after the operation. To help with the pain and promote healing, your doctor may prescribe pain medication such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Additionally, to support bone health and strength during recovery, they may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure a successful recovery.

I'm dealing with a complete ACL tear according to my MRI. I'm really hoping to explore alternatives to surgery. Is there anything else out there that can help fix my ligaments? My MRI report is included.

Non-surgical options for ACL tears include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve stability, as well as the use of a knee brace for support. However, it is important to note that these methods may not fully restore the stability of the knee like surgery would. Additionally, certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with the injury.
