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?

I've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?

Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

I've been dealing with AVN in my right hip for about 3 years now and I'm only 33. I've also been on Medrol for 5 years for either sarcoidosis or HSP but it's never been properly diagnosed. I need a single side total hip replacement and would prefer ceramic on poly implants but money's tight since I lost my job due to the AVN and don't have medical insurance. Can you suggest some affordable hospitals for this surgery?
