I had scaphoid nonunion AVN surgery in 2018 with a bone graft from my iliac crest and K-wire fixation. It's been 4 years now, but I still get pain every 3-4 months when I lift weights or play cricket, though it goes away in 2-3 days. My surgeon checked my recent X-ray and said the bone looks fine and some pain is normal. Does this sound right? Should I be worried about the recurring pain even after all this time?

Intermittent pain after scaphoid AVN surgery may persist due to joint stress—occasional pain is acceptable if imaging is normal, but avoid weight strain to prevent re-injury.

View allI've had pain in my right knee for the past two weeks and the MRI scan shows a complex medial meniscus tear. What treatment options do I have or will I need surgery for this?
With a complex medial meniscus tear, treatment options depend on the severity, location, and symptoms. Non-surgical options like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), physical therapy, and pain management may be tried first. If these don't relieve symptoms or if the tear is large or causing instability, surgery (like arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy) may be necessary.
