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 high grade sprain with a partial thickness tear in my ACL from playing cricket and I'm really not keen on surgery. The doctor recommended surgery first followed by physio but I'm wondering if ayurvedic treatment could help instead. Right now I'm doing physio exercises and my knee stability has improved a bit. Should I still consider surgery or is there a non-surgical route that could work for me?

It all depends whether you knee is stable or not. If unstable (knee wobbles in some positions) needs surgery. Otherwise no. All this other modalities of treatment are futile.

I'm a 22-year-old working in IT and just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear in my left knee. The doctors did an ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy but didn't specify how much meniscus was removed. How serious is this and what are my chances of developing osteoarthritis later? Are there exercises I should avoid to protect my knee and do I need to follow any long-term precautions to prevent further damage?

The dry weight of Meniscus removed is generally not done. So to quantify the amount of Meniscus removed is difficult. But be sure that even after aggressive meniscectomy, peripheral rim of Meniscus still remains. You can do any exercise, running or jogging in a graded manner post ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy. Your life remains same post this surgery People with Meniscus repair have to be cautious , there is no problem with people with meniscectomy .
