I'm really confused about whether to go for ACL arthroscopic surgery or if PRP treatment would work better for my knee. How effective is PRP for knee issues and what's the average cost per injection in India? Need some advice on which option might be better for me.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is often considered as a non-surgical alternative for certain knee conditions. It's important to note that the effectiveness of PRP versus surgery depends on various factors, including the severity of the knee issue and individual patient characteristics PRP treatment for an ACL tear can vary in cost, but in India, expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ20,000 per session, with some clinics offering packages that include multiple sessions. The total cost will depend on the severity of the tear, the number of sessions needed, and the specific clinic

View allCan I get a total hip replacement done under spinal anesthesia if I have ankylosing spondylitis but my spine isn't fused yet I'm worried about general anesthesia because I feel weak and have breathlessness issues no other health problems diagnosed so far
Yes, you can likely have a total hip replacement under spinal anesthesia even with ankylosing spondylitis if your spine isn't fused yet. Regional anesthesia, including spinal and epidural, is often preferred over general anesthesia for hip replacements, and can be safely used in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

I recently had a collision while playing football, and unfortunately, I didn't wear my guard. I got hit on my shin bone, and now it's swollen and painful to walk. I've had shin bone injuries in the past, but this one is the worst. What can I do to help it heal?
Considering your obstetric history and current pregnancy, I'll provide a brief assessment: *Obstetric History* 1. *Previous deliveries*: 1st C-section at 33 weeks, 2nd SVD (spontaneous vaginal delivery) at full term, and 3rd C-section at 36 weeks. 2. *Gap between 3rd and 4th pregnancy*: 8 years. 3. *Current pregnancy*: 34 weeks 2 days, cephalic presentation, placenta anterior. *Key Considerations* 1. *VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-section)*: Given your previous C-sections, VBAC is a possibility, but it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider. 2. *Gestational diabetes*: You're on insulin (5050, 20x10), which indicates gestational diabetes. This condition may impact delivery options. 3. *Placenta anterior*: This placental position may increase the risk of placenta previa or postpartum hemorrhage. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult a healthcare provider*: Discuss your obstetric history, current pregnancy, and delivery options with your healthcare provider. 2. *Assess VBAC eligibility*: Your healthcare provider will evaluate your suitability for VBAC based on your medical history and current pregnancy. 3. *Develop a birth plan*: Create a birth plan that outlines your preferences for delivery, pain management, and postpartum care. 4. *Regular prenatal check-ups*: Continue with regular prenatal check-ups to monitor your pregnancy and adjust your birth plan as needed.
