My 65-year-old mom has severe knee pain because the fluid in her knee is gone and the bone is worn out. She can't walk or climb stairs anymore. Allopathy doctors recommended knee replacement, but I'm wondering if homeopathy has any treatment options for this condition

homeopathy may offer some relief for knee pain, it's crucial to understand that it doesn't directly address the underlying cause of bone-on-bone friction or the loss of cartilage, which are central to osteoarthritis. Homeopathy is often used to manage symptoms like pain and inflammation, but it's not a replacement for allopathic treatments like knee replacement surgery when that is needed

I've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?

Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.
