My wife has had tennis elbow in her left hand for a long time and already got three injections. Now the doctor is recommending surgery is that the only option left or are there other treatments we could try first?

View allI've been dealing with calcaneal bursitis for two years now and nothing seems to help tried both regular doctors and homeopathy but no luck. A new doctor suggested surgery but mentioned the bone might grow back. Is there any permanent fix for this? I'm ready to book an online appointment right away if there's a solution.
It's understandable that you're feeling frustrated after two years of dealing with calcaneal bursitis and not finding relief with traditional and homeopathic treatments. Since it's been persistent for this long, further investigation may be necessary

I have a high grade partial ACL tear with grade 2 signal intensity in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus and a grade 2 LCL sprain. I'm unsure if I need surgery my main goal is to walk normally, cycle, and run without restrictions. I don't want to feel limited, but I'll do surgery if it's absolutely necessary. Can you help me understand if surgery is the only way to get back to normal?
It's understandable to want to know if surgery is the only path to your desired recovery goals. For a high-grade partial ACL tear, a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, and a grade 2 LCL sprain, surgery is not always necessary for full recovery and returning to activities like walking, cycling, and running, according to HSS. However, your specific situation and individual factors will determine the best course of action

Had surgery for giant cell tumor removal from my distal femur knee area on 14/4/2022 with extended curettage cementing plating. It's been 3 weeks but I can only bend my knee around 75-80 degrees and feel heaviness near the surgical site. Is this recovery pace normal or should I be concerned about my knee's range of motion?
ortho opinion is advised to the patient.
