I've been having some pain in my thigh muscles whenever I cough, and it's been going on for two months now. It also hurts when I turn in my sleep or stand up after sitting. I've tried a bunch of stuff like using balm, taking painkillers, and even putting a hot towel on it, but nothing seems to work. Can you help me figure out what's going on and what else I could try?

The persistent thigh muscle pain triggered by coughing, movement, or changes in position, lasting two months, may indicate a possible underlying condition, such as a herniated disk, muscle strain, or nerve compression in the lower back, which can radiate pain to the thigh;

View allMy left knee ACL was replaced with a graft during surgery 4 months ago but I still don't have full extension in my knee. What exercises or suggestions do you have to help improve my range of motion?
To regain full knee extension after ACL reconstruction surgery, focusing on specific exercises and stretches, alongside proper rehabilitation, is crucial. Heel slides, quad sets, and hamstring stretches are particularly helpful. Gentle, controlled movement and pain management are key to safely increasing range of motion

I'm a 22-year-old working in IT and just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear in my left knee. The doctors did an ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy but didn't specify how much meniscus was removed. How serious is this and what are my chances of developing osteoarthritis later? Are there exercises I should avoid to protect my knee and do I need to follow any long-term precautions to prevent further damage?
The dry weight of Meniscus removed is generally not done. So to quantify the amount of Meniscus removed is difficult. But be sure that even after aggressive meniscectomy, peripheral rim of Meniscus still remains. You can do any exercise, running or jogging in a graded manner post ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy. Your life remains same post this surgery People with Meniscus repair have to be cautious , there is no problem with people with meniscectomy .

My MRI shows a complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon at its insertion with 0.8cm retraction. I'm a 45-year-old woman can this heal with physiotherapy or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about recovery and what's best for my shoulder.
Only tear is not important. Even restriction of movts is imp. Y poo it tear has been there since how long and other things. Many pts even with complete tear don't need surgery. They do well with physio
