I've been dealing with a minor meniscus tear in my right knee and the doctor had said to take it easy for a month and keep activities low for at least a year. Now, after a year, I had another fall from my bike and my knee's hurting similar to before, but it's also feeling kinda cold. What should I do about this?

I've been dealing with a femur fracture from two months ago and had ORIF surgery. After about six weeks, I began walking with the help of a stick, and recently, around 23 days ago, I started walking without any support as my orthopedic consultant advised. The thing is, I'm still limping and there's an imbalance with my affected leg. How can I recover from this and get back to walking normally without a limp?
It is common to experience limping and imbalance while walking after a femur fracture and ORIF surgery. To help improve your balance and achieve normal walking, you can try physical therapy exercises to strengthen the muscles around your hip and thigh. Additionally, you can take pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort. Your doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine to help with muscle spasms. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed rehabilitation exercises.
