I'm really struggling with sitting on a chair for more than 8 hours a day. It's causing me some heavy lower and upper back pain, and on top of that, I'm experiencing shortness of breath pretty frequently. I've spoken to a few doctors, and they've suggested B12 for the back pain and some gastric tablets for the breathing issues, but I still haven't seen much improvement. I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice on what else I could try or what might be going on?

View allI just found out I have a grade 2 ligament tear in my right knee can this heal on its own with rest and rehab or will I need ACL surgery to fix it properly
A grade 2 ligament tear in your knee, specifically the ACL, can often heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, and physical therapy, but surgery may be needed in some cases. The decision to operate depends on factors like the ligament involved, your activity level, and your overall health.

Got xrays of both knees done today and the doctor recommended proximal fibular osteotomy surgery. Just wanted to check if this procedure is really necessary or if there are other options? The xrays are attached for reference
Proximal fibular osteotomy is done to offload medial knee arthritis—if early stage, braces or PRP may help; surgery is best for moderate-severe cases.

20 days post ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial medial meniscectomy, my operated leg looks much thinner and weaker now. The calf has lost size and firmness too. Is this muscle loss normal after surgery and how long does it usually take to regain the original leg diameter and strength?
Yes, the thinning and weakening of your operated leg, including the calf, is a common and normal occurrence after ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. This muscle loss, known as disuse atrophy, is primarily due to the limited activity and immobilization in the initial post-operative period. The recovery timeline for regaining original leg diameter and strength varies, but it can take several months, typically 9 to 12 months, with a gradual progression through physical therapy
