No one is able to give a clear cut picture. My friend is absolutely healthy barring her Hb level which is 2 units below normal. She is non-diabetic and no other complications that are generally associated with patients of her age.
Please help, so as to help my friend take a positive decision to further course of action. In case Surgery is not required then what should she be prescribed with? What precautions she needs to take for general well being.

I'm 27 years old and have had two episodes of appendicitis like pain in the past six months. My ultrasound a few weeks ago showed 3 complex cysts on my right ovary. The total size of the ovary and cysts was 8x8x5. The largest cyst was 5cm and all showed some solid mass. There was also a small cyst on the left ovary showing solid mass as well. My ca-125 level was tested and was high at 852.
The problem with knee surgery is the fact that most surgeons don't want to perform the surgery on someone young, they believe it could hinder the recovery process and may actually cause more reconstructive surgeries in the future. It's also a matter of if the insurance will approve the surgery or if you would have to pay for a large portion of it out of pocket.
Have been researching things about positions I have to be in. Almost impossible seeing I just had knee surgery, which I have trouble bending,restless leg syndrom which drives me nuts, can't lay on my stomach due to a bad veterbrae and constant back pain, fybromyalgia,neck and shoulder pains from surgery to both, also it's the second surgery to the same knee within an 8 month period which both were for total peplacement. First one was unsucessful.
s been 10 weeks post op, and I was doing good until about a week ago, just woke up and had awful stabbing pains all over my knee, shooting pain, then I could hardly bend and go up and down stairs, getting worse as of today, I have been wearing an unloader brace for two weeks, one nurse suggested I go get checked for blood clot at the hospital , is that necessary, the pain is also a tight feeling
Hi,
Knee fusion surgery is a last resort for any knee related problem. It is a salvage procedure rather a management of knee arthritis.
I am sorry to say but if you would have gone ahead with knee fusion then, doctors would not have been able to do ligament reconstruction or knee replacement surgery.
The anatomy of knee or knee joint configuration would have changed after the knee fusion surgery to do any sort of surgery after that.
Conventional wisdom is that for an acute meniscal tear, in a young, active individual, the most reliable meathod of treatment is arthroscopic partial menisectomy. The large majority of meniscus tears do not have the potential for healing on their own, and physical therapy does not promote healing of the meniscus. I compare a torn meniscus to a pebble in your shoe. Until the pebble is removed, you are still going to have pain.
My lump changes with my period and I had my yearly ultra-sound during my cycle--not thinking at the time, but it sent off alarm to the radiologist---you need surgery---my internist and surgeon--since its changed it will be terrible during preg. surgery is best.

I am so sorry you need another surgery but yes, if they did not get clear margins it is necessary.
When you have cancer with a lumpectomy they try to remove all the cancerous tissue and some clean and clear tissue around it to make sure they got it all. That clean & clear tissue is called margin.
You want this surgery to reduce your risk of recurrence.
