I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?

Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.

View allMRI shows focal thinning and altered signal in my ACL suggesting a partial tear plus a grade 23 horizontal tear in my medial meniscus. There's minimal fluid in my knee joints but I'm not in pain right now. Is it okay to delay surgery for a month or two or should I get it treated immediately?
While it's positive that you're currently pain-free, it's generally recommended to address ACL and meniscus tears, even partial ones, promptly, especially if you're active or plan to return to physical activity. Delaying surgery, particularly for a partial ACL tear, could lead to further damage, instability, and potential development of osteoarthritis. Consulting with an orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the best course of action based on your specific situation and activity leve

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.

After a leg fracture, how long before someone can start playing sports again? My friend was advised to take a break for 4 weeks. Is that usually enough time?
The time it takes to recover from a leg fracture and resume playing sports or physical activities varies depending on the severity and location of the fracture, but generally, it can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks or even longer for more complex fractures, so your friend's 4-week rest period is likely just the initial phase of recovery
