I've been having this ganglion cyst on my wrist lately and it's been bothering me. What usually causes these and what are the treatment options? Is it something serious that might need surgery, and if so, how long does recovery usually take? Also, what's the chance of it coming back after treatment? Could you recommend a good specialist for this in Mumbai or nearby areas?

View allmy dad has been experiencing his knees locking when he walks up stairs lately. there's no pain or swelling, just sudden locking. he's been cycling regularly for the past 40 years with no prior medical issues or surgeries. could this be from a muscle tear or maybe because he doesn't walk much
It's possible, though not definitively, that the knee locking is due to a meniscal tear or another cartilage issue, or even a ligament injury, especially if he hasn't been walking much. However, since he's been cycling regularly, it's also possible that the knee locking is related to the activity itself, such as a patellofemoral pain syndrome or even just improper muscle balance. It's best to consult a doctor or physical therapist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

my doctor says I have spondylolisthesis where the 4th and 5th vertebrae are overlapping and told me to swim for 2 weeks before considering surgery. I've had foot pain for about 3 weeks now is this really something that needs surgery or could it just be routine pain that'll go away on its own?
Spondylolisthesis pain may improve with swimming,core strengthening,and spine therapy;MRI and perseverance determine if surgery is avoided.
