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 dealing with left shoulder pain for two years now, and it's really limiting my movements some motions cause intense pain. My BP is under control, but the MRI showed issues in my left shoulder. One doctor suggested rotator cuff repair surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the best option. What would you recommend for long-term relief, and what should I expect if I go through with the surgery?
Chronic shoulder pain with MRI findings often benefits from rotator cuff repair—physiotherapy first, then surgery if no relief; recovery takes weeks.
