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.

I've been experiencing pain in my manubrium with some swelling on the left side. It really hurts when I move quickly, breathe deeply, or yawn. Plus, there's this weird sensation in my throat at different times during the day, almost like something's stuck there. Could these symptoms be pointing to something serious?

20 days post ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial medial meniscectomy, my operated leg looks much thinner and weaker now. The calf has lost size and firmness too. Is this muscle loss normal after surgery and how long does it usually take to regain the original leg diameter and strength?
Yes, the thinning and weakening of your operated leg, including the calf, is a common and normal occurrence after ACL surgery with hamstring autograft and partial meniscectomy. This muscle loss, known as disuse atrophy, is primarily due to the limited activity and immobilization in the initial post-operative period. The recovery timeline for regaining original leg diameter and strength varies, but it can take several months, typically 9 to 12 months, with a gradual progression through physical therapy
