I had tibia bone surgery 4 years ago with a titanium rod inserted, but now I'm feeling some pain in my leg and walking with a limp even though the X-ray shows everything looks fine. Could there be a reaction to the rod or any other reason for this pain? What could be causing this?

View allI 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.

I had an arm wrestling match at the hostel and completely broke my humerus, right above the elbow and below the shoulder. They did an operation two days later and used something called an extra-articular plate. How long is it going to take for this to heal fully? And when will I be able to hit the gym again? I'm really curious and a bit worried about my recovery timeline.

I injured my leg during a trek back in January and the pain kept coming and going. By September, it was still bothering me so I saw a doctor who recommended an MRI. The 1.5T MRI showed a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Is there any way to avoid surgery for this?
Yes, it's possible to avoid surgery for a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Non-surgical treatments are often the first approach for these types of injuries, and they can be very effective.
