I'm scheduled for ACL reconstruction surgery next month but I'm currently taking Luramax 40, Arpizol, and Sizopin for my mental health. Do I need to stop these meds before the surgery and if so, how long before? Also, what kind of complications could these meds cause during the procedure?

View allGot into an accident and my knee is swollen with pain - attached the report. Do I need surgery or will plaster be enough to fix it?
It's impossible to determine if you need surgery or just a plaster (cast) based solely on a description of knee swelling and pain after an accident. A doctor needs to examine your knee and review the accident report, potentially including imaging like X-rays or MRI, to diagnose the cause of your symptoms. Plaster casts are typically used for fractures, while surgery might be necessary for injuries like torn ligaments or menisci.

Had surgery for knee bursitis about 10 months ago but now the pain is back can't bend my knee properly and standing for more than 20 minutes hurts. Could this be bursitis returning or something else going on?
Yes, it's possible that your knee pain is due to bursitis returning, but it could also be caused by other factors, such as insufficient rehabilitation, re-injury, or even the progression of other knee conditions. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
