Did I harm my knee post-surgery ligament repair?

I had knee surgery two weeks ago to repair my ligament and meniscus. Yesterday, I removed the brace and began using only crutches to walk. At one point, I felt some movement in my knee while walking. Today, when I woke up, I noticed the swelling had decreased, and I don't feel any pain. My question is, did I possibly damage the surgery, or is this a normal part of recovery?

It’s common to experience sensations of movement as you recover from knee surgery, especially as you transition to using crutches. Decreasing swelling and absence of pain are positive signs of healing. However, it’s crucial to monitor how your knee feels during activity. As you regain strength, careful movement is essential. Make sure to follow your rehabilitation plan and avoid overexerting yourself. If discomfort arises or if you have concerns about your recovery, please check in with your orthopedist. They can provide personalized guidance to ensure you’re on the right path.

I started having muscle pain/ache in my outer right hip area a day after I changed my everyday footwear a week ago. Pain is dull and bearable but irritating. It usually starts when walking and tends to go away slowly when sitting in a relaxed sitting position. Sometimes it also starts when sleeping. I'm not taking any medication of any kind. I'm underweight due to my lifestyle and eating habits.

Male | 24

It seems that you have muscle pain on the outside right hip region. This pain could have been caused by changing shoes. Muscles can ache if they are tense or strained. In addition, if you are too thin, your muscles may easily get tired. Put on supportive footwear, stretch gently and take a good diet so that your muscles can heal. Also, make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the ache.

Male | 19

Pus is a sign of infection; hence, your wound can be infected. The next steps are to keep clean areas, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover them with a bandage. Moreover, you need to talk to a doctor to be sure the wound is healing well.

I’m 56 year old lady. I have pain in left hand since last 2 months. My Vitamin D recent one week ago test shows value 23.84 Is it due to Vitamin D deficiency? Please guide.

Female | 56

Your left hand pain could be linked to a Vitamin D deficiency, as doctors suggest. Common symptoms of this deficiency include body pain, muscle weakness, and bone pain. Vitamin D helps keep our bones strong, and when we don’t have enough, we can feel pain in our muscles and bones. To boost your Vitamin D levels, spend some time in sunlight or take a Vitamin D supplement as advised by your doctor.

Hi my Name is Neo am 22 years I have a problem Saturday night I got a knocked on a car door Sunday I experienced pains on my penis now it’s swollen nd it changed where am it’s bruised the skin is getting shinny.

Male | Neo

It seems like you might have hurt your penis while you got hit by the car door. Pain, swelling, and bruising are not unusual in this case. The glossy skin could be a sign of recovery. Make sure you get some rest, wear loose-fitting clothes, and use ice packs to bring down any swelling. If these symptoms get worse or do not improve it would be best to see a doctor as soon as possible.
