I had surgery for a meniscus tear on both sides of my left knee and I'm worried about how to properly heal and strengthen it. What exercises or rehab should I focus on? Also, I'm on bedrest and scared of gaining weight any tips to stay active or eat right while recovering?

Meniscus tear recovery needs gradual rehab—start with quad strengthening and avoid weight gain by following a high-protein, low-calorie diet.

View allGot into an accident and my knee is swollen with pain - attached the report. Do I need surgery or will plaster be enough to fix it?
It's impossible to determine if you need surgery or just a plaster (cast) based solely on a description of knee swelling and pain after an accident. A doctor needs to examine your knee and review the accident report, potentially including imaging like X-rays or MRI, to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Plaster casts are typically used for fractures, while surgery might be necessary for injuries like torn ligaments or menisci.

Hey, I noticed this hard lump on my right rib cage. It doesn't hurt when I touch it, and it stays in place, feeling just like bone. But sometimes it hurts a little on its own, and I've got this pain around my right shoulder blade too. Any idea what this could be?
The bony lump on your right rib cage, which is hard, non-mobile, and occasionally painful, along with referred pain to the right shoulder blade, may indicate a benign bone growth or lesion, such as an osteochondroma, costal exostosis, or a bone spur, but a thorough medical evaluation, including imaging tests like X-rays or a CT scan, is necessary to determine the exact cause and appropriate course of action.
