How to manage knee pain even with a simple activity?
Hi doctor,
I am a 27 year old male. My weight is 85 kg and height is 179 cm. About 2 years ago, I participated in a half marathon. On that day, I started feeling pain in both knees above the patella. I think in quadriceps tendon. I followed RICE and the pain went off. But, after that, whenever I do some running or exercise it again starts paining and I have to take rest for a week to reduce it. Recently, I have started going gym and doing light exercises. Even for this, it is paining very badly near and just above the patella. I feel pain while running, staircase movement and bending knees. I am not taking any medicine or medical help now. I am just using pain relieving ointment. Please help me.

MRI showed stage 1 AVN in both hips in different angles. Do I need hip replacement?
Hello doctor,
I was diagnosed with minimal change disease before a few months and started on Prednisone. I was into remission within a week but the disease relapsed while on the full dose. Cyclosporine was added and steroids were tapered to 0 within six months. Recently, last month I had an injury during a MMA (mixed martial arts) fight and since I was to run a 5k military obstacle marathon in the coming week I decided to consult a doctor. The consultant was a third year PG who was my sister's senior in medical college. While there was not any signs of injury he noticed changes of avn in left femoral head. I had an MRI the same day that showed stage 1 avn with kerboul angle of 205 in the right hip and stage 2 with angle 170 in the left. I recently underwent core decompression in bilateral hips. What are the chances of the disease reversing its course? And if I do require a hip replacement will I be able to do high impact activities with it? I am really worried since I am only 23 years old. I have uploaded my post core decompression x-ray. What are the chances of prognosis in my condition?

Hi doctor,
My daughter is a 6-year-old. She always complains that she feels some pain in the back side of her neck. We have checked with an orthopedic surgeon. From her x-ray, he said that this is due to a cervical rib, an extra bone in the neck. Please suggest regarding this.
