My father has been dealing with knee pain for the last 7-8 months and the doctor mentioned the cartilage between his knee bones is almost gone They recommended a TKR but for now he's taking conjoint 3Denzomaccyra and pegNT meds along with injections every 15 days Is there any other way to fix this without surgery or will these medicines help heal it over time I've attached the xray report for reference

Severe knee pain from cartilage loss may be managed temporarily with injections (hyaluronic acid,PRP) and physiotherapy,but TKR is the only long‚Äëterm solution.

My left elbow has been swollen for about 3 weeks but there's no pain. A doctor diagnosed it as olecranon bursitis and suggested surgery, also prescribed sporidex AF 750 and Chymoral Forte for a week. Are there any non-surgical options to treat this? If surgery is really needed, what would be the approximate cost in Bangalore?

I'm a 41-year-old woman with obesity and just had a complete ACL tear. It's been two weeks and my ortho said surgery isn't urgent could even wait a year. How long until I can walk normally again? I'm not super active but love swimming, walking, and dancing will I still be able to do those without surgery?
First of all, acl ligament tear will not heal by its own ..ligament recreconstruction is the only solution in your case and also then only u can carry out your sports type activities. Second thing waiting for such a long time is not advisable as internal derangement may lead to medial meniscus tear and early arthritis changes due to cartilage erosion..so better to go for arthroscopic acl reconstruction as soon as possible till that time keep doing quadriceps strengthening excersises andROM excersises that will help you in post operative rehabilitation.
