I'm really curious about the process of using microfracture on the shin bone to increase height. Can you tell me how effective this is? Also, how long would it typically take to grow about 1cm using this method? I'm eager to know what to expect.

Possible Causes_

  1. Pimple or acne: A pimple on the breast can cause a bump, and the white layer on top might be a pustule.
  2. Blocked milk duct: If the bump is near the nipple, it could be a blocked milk duct, which can cause a lump or bump.
  3. Breast abscess: Although rare, a breast abscess can cause a painful lump, but in this case, your wife mentioned it doesn't hurt.
  4. Other skin conditions: Other skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or keratosis pilaris can also cause bumps on the breast.

Concerns and Next Steps

  1. Bleeding: The presence of blood is a concern and requires medical attention.
  2. Infection risk: The broken skin and bleeding increase the risk of infection.
  3. Consult a doctor: Schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional, preferably a dermatologist or a breast specialist, to evaluate the bump and provide a proper diagnosis.

Precautions

  1. Keep the area clean: Gently clean the area with mild soap and lukewarm water.
  2. Avoid squeezing or popping: Refrain from squeezing or popping the bump, as this can lead to infection or scarring.
  3. Monitor for signs of infection: Watch for increased redness, swelling, pain, or pus, and seek medical attention if you notice any of these symptoms.

I have a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus do I really need surgery for this or can it heal with just meds and physio

A horizontal tear in the posterior horn of your medial meniscus may or may not require surgery, depending on the size and location of the tear. Small tears in the "red-red" or "red-white" zones (with blood supply for healing) may heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and pain medication. Larger tears or those in the "white zone" (no blood supply) are less likely to heal on their own and may require surgery.
