I've had knee pain for about 15 days and just got my MRI results. Can you help me understand if surgery is needed? I'm really worried about what the report says and what my options are.

What's the role of the fibula in ankle movement? I had surgery on my tibia and fibula 5 months ago, but my ankle still won't bend no matter how much I try. I've been walking for a month now, but the pain in my ankle is getting worse. Could this be related to how the fibula heals? I've attached my x-ray for reference.

I've been dealing with this pain in my left hand that goes from my shoulder down to my palm for about three days now. Sometimes my palm swells up too. Is this something I should be worried about or is it likely just a strain? What could be causing this and what should I do?

I had surgery in 2014 where they removed all stitches and put a metal rod in my leg. The operated area is dry now, but there's still a small hole where fluid leaks out sometimes. I can't walk or stretch properly because my leg feels stiff, and there's nerve pain. The fluid leakage stops and starts randomly what could be causing this and should I be worried?

Persistent drainage and stiffness post-orthopedic surgery may indicate chronic infection or hardware issues‚Äîseek reevaluation.
