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?

I have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?

A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.
