I've been told I might need surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of going through with it versus trying other treatments first? I'm really worried about making the wrong choice.

I'm a defense aspirant and had to undergo reconstruction surgery for my leg. If I regain full motion and function, will this affect my SSB medical clearance? Could it impact my leg's performance during physical tests?

While regaining full motion and function after leg reconstruction surgery is a positive sign, it doesn't automatically guarantee SSB medical clearance. The SSB medical board will assess the extent of the surgery, the recovery progress, and the overall functionality of your leg. A history of surgery is often disqualifying, but can be waived if the board is satisfied with the recovery.

I've been dealing with this wound on my left knee for about a week now, and it's really frustrating. I can't put any weight on it without needing some support. I've tried using cipladine and betadine, but the pus just won't go away. Do you have any suggestions on what might work better?
