My husband has been dealing with this really painful back issue for a year now. His MRI and X-ray show there's a gap between his L4 and L5 joints. He's been doing regular exercises and swimming, which helps sometimes, but the pain can still get really intense. We've seen doctors before, but we're desperate for a permanent solution. Any advice on what we can do?

View allHad ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?
Post-ACL symptoms suggest incomplete recovery or complications—repeat evaluation and guided rehab are recommended.

Had ACL reconstruction surgery a month ago and my periods are late my last cycle started right before the surgery. Normally, my next cycle comes around 45 days early. Could the anesthesia or strong meds from the surgery be causing this delay?
Yes, it's possible that the surgery, anesthesia, or medications could be contributing to your late period. Surgery and anesthesia induce stress, which can affect hormone levels and menstrual cycles. The strong pain medication used after surgery could also have an effect. It's advisable to discuss this with your doctor to assess the cause of the delay and rule out any other potential factors
