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.

Thyroid Treatment and Safety During Breastfeeding
Treatment Evaluation
- Thyronorm 50 mcg: A suitable starting dose for hypothyroidism treatment.
- TSH level: Your high TSH level (89.90) indicates severe hypothyroidism, requiring prompt treatment.
Breastfeeding Safety
- Levothyroxine safety: Thyronorm contains levothyroxine, which is generally safe for breastfeeding mothers and their babies.
- Monitoring: Regularly monitor your baby's thyroid levels and overall health to ensure the medication is not affecting them.
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.
Seriousness of Condition
- Untreated hypothyroidism risks: If left untreated, severe hypothyroidism can lead to heart problems, infertility, and cognitive impairment.
- Proper treatment: With proper treatment and monitoring, you can effectively manage your hypothyroidism and minimize risks.
Recommendations
- Consult an endocrinologist: Seek a second opinion from an endocrinologist to confirm the diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been having trouble with both my knees, especially when climbing stairs or bending them during exercise and daily activities. It's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain how total knee replacement works and what high flexion knee replacement is? I'm trying to understand if either of these could help with my pain and mobility issues.

I 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.
