I have a meniscus extrusion in my right knee and a small area of full-thickness cartilage loss measuring 9x7 mm. I'm only 25 if I get surgery now, will I still be able to walk normally by the time I'm 40?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, if you address the meniscus extrusion and cartilage loss with appropriate treatment, including surgery if necessary, you can likely maintain normal walking and other activities by the time you are 40. Early intervention and a focused rehabilitation program are key to maximizing your long-term knee health

My mom has been dealing with AVN in both hip joints for the past three months right hip at stage 4 and left at stage 3. She's 67 but otherwise healthy, no diabetes or BP issues. Some ortho doctors recommend surgery while others advise against it due to her age. She's managing at home with a walker and physiotherapy but has severe pain in the hip and under her legs. Is homeopathy a viable option for her condition?
While homeopathy may offer some pain relief or support for managing symptoms, it's not a primary treatment for Avascular Necrosis (AVN) and should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical care, especially when surgery is being considered. It's crucial to prioritize the recommendations of her orthopedic doctors and focus on managing the pain and improving her mobility with physical therapy, weight management, and possibly surgery if deemed necessary
