Living in a 20-story apartment building, I use the stairs twice a day as exercise that's 40 floors or around 500 steps. It's convenient for me as a working mom, but people keep warning me it could lead to knee replacement issues later. Is climbing stairs really that bad for my knees? Could it cause long-term damage?

View allI've been dealing with tailbone pain for 2 years and my X-ray shows an anterior subluxation of the coccyx. I've tried NSAIDs, sitz baths, coccyx cushions, and physiotherapy like IFT and ultrasound with no relief. I don't want to go for ablation, injections, or surgery at my age. Is internal manipulation by an experienced ortho specialist an option for this kind of coccyx issue? Looking for someone who's handled similar cases before
Apollo is best for it.

About 30 days ago I met with an accident and now have problems in my left knee. The MRI report shows intraligament hyperintense areas in the ACL, abnormal hyperintensity in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, MCL thickening with hyperintensity, bone marrow contusion in the medial femoral and tibial condyle, a radial tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and a grade 1 MCL sprain. Can partial ACL damage heal without surgery or does it need reconstruction?
A partial ACL tear can sometimes heal without surgery, but it depends on the extent of the tear and your individual circumstances. Your MRI shows a few other injuries alongside the partial ACL tear, including a medial meniscus tear and an MCL sprain, which could influence the treatment decision. Consulting with an orthopedic specialist is crucial to determine the best course of action for your specific situation
