I've had flat feet since childhood and it's causing me a lot of pain now, especially when standing for long hours. Is there any permanent solution for this or would I need surgery? If surgery is the only option, can you recommend the best specialist for flat feet correction? I'm really worried about how this might affect me long-term.

I've had knee pain for about a year now and just got my MRI results. It shows a Grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, minimal joint effusion, and a Baker's cyst measuring 1.8x1.5x2.9 cm. Is surgery necessary or can proper exercises help heal this?

It's unlikely that surgery is immediately necessary for your knee pain, given the MRI findings. While the Grade 2 meniscus tear, minimal effusion, and Baker's cyst are potential sources of pain, conservative treatments like physical therapy and pain management are often effective, especially with these findings. Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments fail or if the tear is severe and causing significant functional limitations.

A ganglion cyst on your forearm that swells and causes discomfort when lifting heavy things, but doesn't hurt when pressed, can be treated with aspiration or surgery. Aspiration involves draining the fluid from the cyst, which can provide temporary relief. Surgery is an option if aspiration fails or if the cyst is causing significant problems
