To naturally improve knee health with osteoarthritis and delay or avoid surgery, focus on managing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles around your knees. This can be achieved through a combination of low-impact exercise, weight management, and potentially the use of supplements and pain relief methods.

My doctor said I need surgery for a non-union scaphoid fracture but quoted around 70-80k which is way beyond my budget. Are there any other treatment options or ways to reduce the cost? This seems really expensive for me to handle right now.

Scaphoid surgery is costly due to implant needs. Discuss subsidized options or government hospitals for affordable care if budget is limited.

My calf size has shrunk by 4.7 cm in diameter and feels less rigid after my ACL surgery where they used a hamstring autograft SGT. It's been 25 days, and my operated leg still looks thinner and weaker with some swelling is this normal? They also did a partial meniscectomy on the medial side should I be worried about early osteoarthritis?

Calf muscle atrophy 25‚ÄØdays post-ACL/MCL hamstring graft is normal;continued physiotherapy and compression help,with early osteoarthritis unlikely immediately.
