I have a medial meniscus tear and partial PCL tear and used to have severe pain and locking in my knee but now the pain is much better and I can do daily activities without discomfort but I still hear popping sounds without pain should I be worried about the popping or is it okay to ignore since the pain is gone my doctor recommended arthroscopy but since I feel better can I try PRP injections instead of surgery

Question

I'm 25 years old and 163cm tall my dad is the same height. I've been seriously considering limb lengthening surgery or human growth hormone treatment to increase my height. I've always wondered how so many people end up tall even when their parents are short. Can you guide me on whether these options would work for me and what the risks might be?

Question

I'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.
