HI ,i am 44 years old, i practice yoga for 1 hour every day and go on hikes once in 2 months. Have a meniscus tear on right knee grade 3 . of late i get issues such as muscle pull or tear pretty often. The osteopathy doctor i visited recently said that my muscles are weak. i visited the doctor for what was diagnosed by a physiotherapist as Muscle impingement as i am unable to lift my hand sideways to my shoulder level. While visiting the osteopath he pressed back of my neck at C2 and C3 area and the pain was gone and could lift my hand normally. I am unsure as to what i need to do. Please advise.

I had frozen shoulder problem as told to me in my left hand and from November, 2020 to August, 2021 i consulted various reputed orthopedic surgeons and even got treatment from Safdarjang Sports Injury Centre New Delhi and as per advice got physiotherapy treatment for full one year but to no avail. Then in September, 2020 i consulted one of the top most Ortho Surgeons who after xray etc. told me that he will give me two injections(whereas he gave three such injections) and my problem will be got with physio treatment in three months but from day one his physio told him that my shoulder is very stiff and only solution is to get MRI done and then operation be done which was done in October, 2020 and I was told that after five week physio i will be ok but even after operation there was so much pain at the time of physio and afterwards that i could not have sleep for 20/22 hours and then Doctor extended time limit to two months and then to three months but even after five months there was no relief. ultimate i stopped treatment and consulted another ortho in south delhi reputed hospital he told me that my veins were weak and at the first place i stopped hard core physio and that surgery was not a best option. Though after I stopped physio and started doing light exercises at home there is slight improvement but at times i have great pain at lower of my shoulder/shoulder and upper half portion of left hand. It is one year since i have started treatment from present ortho. What to do?

Hi Nidhi I am 65 with good health and I trek 3-4 times in a year, had an accident about 15 years back where my right knee ligament broke. I did not go for surgery and strengthened my other muscles with a very good physiotherapist. Since 5-6 months I sometimes get pain in the front part of my left knee and since 5-6 days back of my knee has started paining sometimes. Please advise. Thank you
