What is the reason for ankle pain as per the MRI report?
Hi doctor,
I am suffering from left ankle pain. I have soreness and it is bruised. Sometimes, it is difficult to walk too. I am also suffering from lower back pain. I feel the pain from my ankle joint to my hip. I have a history of ankle pain, but it was on the right. Two years ago, I had an arthroscopic surgery (OCD MTD) in my right ankle. A month ago, I had an MRI done. Here is the report for your reference. Kindly let me know if you want any other reports as well. From the MRI report, please let me know the reason for my left ankle pain.

Is immediate surgery needed for discoid meniscus in child?
Hi doctor,
My son aged 7 has had a snapping sound from the left knee lately without complaining of any pain. He had an MRI done on his left knee. The MRI opinion is as follows: There is a discoid lateral meniscus, significant swelling of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, and intrameniscal abnormal signal intensity indicating a degenerative tear. Does it mean that surgery is needed to correct this? If yes, then should surgery be done soon? Is there any other possible treatment to avoid surgery?

Can a 62-year-old undergo joint replacement for both legs?
Hi doctor,
My uncle has blood sugar, which is under control. He had laser treatment for varicose veins in the last month for one leg. Now, the doctor suggested that he needs to go for joint replacement for both legs. Some of the doctors said that there is some complexity as he had treatment for varicose veins. Is it really true? His age is 62. Presently, he is walking in pain. What is your suggestion? Can we go for a joint replacement after a few months? Or can we go for it by next month itself?

Why is there soreness in hip while standing after sitting position?
Hi doctor,
I am a 49-year-old female weighing 75 kg, 170 cms height. For a few months, I have experienced soreness in my left hip. It really only occurs when I get out of a car and go to stand. It is quite a dull pain. Not sure if there is any connection but I injured my lower back and a few times, to relieve the pain, found straightening and straining my left leg helped. The soreness has only occurred since then. Sometimes I have felt this when getting off a sofa, but less commonly. Occasionally, when I have taken Nurofen for a headache or period pain, the soreness disappears. I am wondering if there is anything I should be doing.
