My right leg has been hurting badly after an accident and the MRI at Jorhat Medical College showed a broken ligament. The doctors recommended arthroscopy surgery and suggested I go to Delhi Sports Medicine Centre. I'm really worried about this - can you tell me more about the procedure and if there are any other options? What should I expect during recovery?

If the ACL tear is partial, physiotherapy might be sufficient for recovery. However, if there‚Äôs instability in the knee or you‚Äôre involved in high-impact activities, surgery (like arthroscopy) may be necessary. Discuss recovery goals with your orthopedic surgeon.

I fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?

The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I have atrophy and weakness in my left supraspinatus muscle. One doctor recommended suprascapular surgery, but another said it's just an infection and advised physiotherapy instead. I'm confused about what to do should I go for surgery or stick with physiotherapy?

I've been having trouble with both my knees, especially when climbing stairs or bending them during exercise and daily activities. It's getting really uncomfortable. Can you explain how total knee replacement works and what high flexion knee replacement is? I'm trying to understand if either of these could help with my pain and mobility issues.
