I'm getting a clicking sound in both knees with pain and discomfort, plus slightly bow legs. One doctor diagnosed a discoid meniscus and recommended surgery to trim it, but another doctor said my MRI looks normal and suggested strengthening exercises. My legs still feel really uncomfortable what should I do since the opinions are conflicting?

Discoid meniscus can cause knee pain and clicking; if MRI shows no tear, try 6 weeks of physio first‚Äîif pain persists or worsens, surgical trimming may be needed.

Looking for a good doctor in Delhi NCR for my mom's knee replacement surgery. She has stage III osteoarthritis and I was considering Dr. Ali Arora at Max but wondering if there are better options. Would really appreciate recommendations from anyone who has personal experience with a doctor for TKR and an idea about the estimated cost

Dr Ashok Rajgopal of Fortis hospital is good.

Is it safe to delay ACL surgery for 6 months because I have police training starting next month and don't want to miss it? What are the risks if I wait that long?

The more you can delay is six months. The time between ACL injury and surgery should be a minimum of one to two months. This is because around five to six months you will notice that you are no longer in a position to even walk and lift your legs. This will see you easily drag you to the orthopedic doctor for surgery
