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 allIs chondromalacia patella something that can ever be fully cured? I've been getting treatment for more than a year now. I've had an MRI, taken tablets, got HA injections, and even done physio, but I'm just not feeling the relief I was hoping for. I used to be super active in sports, and now I can't even jog. Can you please tell me honestly if there's a chance of curing it, or should I start thinking about adjusting my life around this? This is really important for me to know.
high IgE level of above 3000 can be a cause for concern. It's essential to consult a specialized doctor to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels. You should consider consulting an *Immunologist* or an *Allergist* who can help diagnose and manage conditions related to high IgE levels, such as Hyper IgE Syndrome (HIES) . They may recommend further tests, such as blood work or skin prick tests, to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels. In some cases, high IgE levels can be associated with allergic reactions, skin conditions, or immune system disorders. Your doctor may prescribe medications to manage symptoms or recommend lifestyle changes to help reduce IgE levels. It's crucial to seek medical attention if your wife experiences any of the following symptoms: - *Severe allergic reactions* - *Recurring skin infections* - *Respiratory problems* - *Fever or chills*

My knee cap has gotten really thin and I'm on medication right now but I'm worried about surgery since I heard replacements only last around 10 years - is it worth going through with it or should I try other options first
hope you are not in a lot of pain. What do you mean by saying that your knee cap is thin ? Do you mean that the cartilage is worn out ? You might have chondromalacia patella. Please consult an Orthopaedic surgeon
