Knee Pain - Grade II Meniscus Tear
35-year-old woman from Bangalore. Weight is 84 Kgs. Having knee pain for maybe close to 2 Years – Not constant, kind of intermittent. Got MRI done for both knees. Key findings of Report: Right Knee-“Grade II horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus". Left Knee - "Grade II horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial and lateral menisci". I have just started physiotherapy focused on Quadriceps & VMO strengthening exercises. Wanted opinion on: 1. How long does it typically take for this condition to improve and for the pain to fully subside? 2. Is it fully curable? 3. Will I be able to wear high heels again?

Little finger dislocation - not healing
I had a dislocation of my right hand little finger at the PIP joint (middle knuckle). I underwent surgery where a K-wire (metal rod) was inserted to fix the bones in place.
The rod was removed 4 months ago and I have attached two X-rays for your reference:
📷 Photo 1 - X-ray taken at the time of surgery (Left hand view, rod visible inside finger)
📷 Photo 2 - X-ray taken today, 4 months after rod removal (Right hand view)
My concerns are:
Comparing both X-rays, the finger joint does not appear to have improved much — the gap at the PIP joint looks similar in both X-rays
The joint does not appear to be in perfect alignment even during surgery with the rod inserted
During physiotherapy/bending exercises I experience mild to moderate pain
I am worried whether the bones have healed correctly or if further treatment is needed
My questions:
Has the finger healed in correct position?
Is the joint gap seen in X-ray normal or concerning?
Is the pain during physiotherapy expected at this stage?
