I'm dealing with an ACL tear in my left knee, and the MRI report mentions something about an interstitial tear. Could you explain what that means and how it can be treated? Also, I'm wondering how many therapy sessions might be needed. I have the MRI scan if you need more details.

Adjusting Treatment
- Regular TSH checks: Schedule regular TSH tests (every 6-8 weeks) to adjust the dosage and ensure optimal treatment.
- Dose adjustment: Be prepared to adjust the dosage based on your TSH levels to achieve optimal thyroid hormone levels.

My brother is 17 and has had bow legs since he was around 14-15. Is surgery the only option or are there other ways to fix it? We're really worried and could use some advice.
Because an adult's bones are fully formed, surgery is the only way to correct bow legs in an adult, although certain exercises may help straighten your legs and protect your knees. Treatment for bow legs is different for children. Bow legs in children usually resolve as a child grows

I've been dealing with a concern that's been bothering me for a while. When I was around 12, I started dry humping on the bed, and this went on until I was about 16. Now, I'm 24 and I've noticed my thighs and legs look thin and kind of deformed. Could there be any connection to my past habits, or is there another reason they appear this way?
_Possible Reasons for Thigh Changes_ 1. *Muscle Imbalance*: Repeated dry humping might have led to overdevelopment of certain muscle groups, causing an imbalance. 2. *Poor Posture*: Frequent pressure on your thighs and legs might have affected your posture, leading to uneven muscle development. 3. *Genetic Factors*: Natural growth patterns and genetic predispositions can influence body shape and muscle distribution.
