View allIt's been 80 days since my tibia surgery where they used plates and nails for both legs. The swelling has gone down but I'm still unsure can I start walking now or do I need to wait longer? I'm worried about putting weight on them too soon.
You should walk now. Continue active non weight bearing mobilisation of knee,ankle and hip. Start with partial weight bearing with walker. Then progress to full weight bearing. Pain relief will be important.Please get the latest xray to see bony union which will decide the weight bearing on the limbs

I just got my MRI report and it shows a bucket handle tear in the body and posterior horn of the medial meniscus, along with grade I chondromalacia patellae and moderate joint effusion with suprapatellar bursal fluid. I'm really worried do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with physiotherapy? What are my options here?
Bucket handle tear requires Arthroscopic meniscal repair, if tear is 2 months and less. Menisectomy if it's old.

It's been 8 months since I broke my femur, and while the bone hasn't completely healed, a rod was inserted. I'm really worried about whether I'll be able to walk without a limp. I'm scared even though there's no pain right now. I've been using a stick to walk, and the doctor mentioned it might take 2 more months. Do you think I'll be able to walk without limping?
It is understandable to be concerned about walking without a limp after a femur fracture. The rod inserted in your femur is helping to stabilize the bone and promote healing. It is positive that you are not experiencing pain. With the additional 2 months of healing time recommended by your doctor, there is a good chance that you will be able to walk without a limp once the bone has fully healed. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and rehabilitation plan for the best outcome. In the meantime, you can consider taking calcium and vitamin D supplements to support bone healing.
