I'm dealing with something called avascular necrosis in my hip joints and it's been about two months now. The doctor mentioned something about needing to replace my hip joint. I'm really worried about it. Can you tell me more about what this means and do you think the replacement is necessary?

Controlled diabetes allows safe hip replacement if sugar and vitals are stable; premium prosthesis like ceramic or titanium are costlier but last longer with less wear.

I've been experiencing this really sharp, stabbing pain in my right biceps every time I try to move my arm outwards or upwards. It's pretty new and the pain sort of shoots towards my neck. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I should do about it? It's starting to worry me.
The sharp stabbing pain in your right biceps, exacerbated by outward or upward arm movements and radiating to your neck, may indicate a potential issue with your rotator cuff, biceps tendon, or neck (cervical spine); possible causes include bicipital tendinitis, shoulder impingement, or cervical radiculopathy; consult an orthopedic specialist

My MRI report shows an ACL tear and meniscus injury in my knee. The orthopedic doctor recommended arthroscopic surgery, saying it's necessary. Is surgery really the only option or are there other treatments I can try first? I'm worried about recovery time and risks
While arthroscopic surgery is often recommended for combined ACL and meniscus injuries, it's not always the only treatment option. Conservative treatment, including physical therapy and bracing, might be suitable for some individuals, particularly those with less active lifestyles or partial tears. A thorough discussion with your doctor about your specific situation, activity level, and goals is crucial to determine the best approach
