Teriparatide Inj after Ankle fracture
Hi,
I recently had a Bimalleolar fracture left ankle for which surgery was done with Plate and screws.
I was prescribed Teriparatide injection 20mcg daily for 3 months.
I was told it is prescribed mostly for accelerated bone healing in fracture cases.
Is it safe to take this medicine considering my age? Is there any long term side effect? Should I ask my doctor again?
I read that it can be taken only for 2 years in a lifespan.
Attached X rays for reference.

Knee effusion + bakers cyst from 2 month
Hi, I got knee pain 2 months ago and I went to doctor and he said it's knee effusion and suggested tablets and physiotherapy. It gets better I will be able to walk properly. But after few days the swelling comes back and I cannot walk at all. I am not able to bend and straighten my leg fully. I did the blood test for uric acid : 6.1, RA factor: 19.2, ESR: 42 and then crp: 11.2. The doctor said it is because of high protein diet but I used to get the swelling if I walk or stand more. After that, I got the MRI done and it shows knee effusion and bakerscyst and very small acl fragments tear. Now the doctor says we need to remove the cyst with orthroscopy. But is it really needed?
I am struggling with this from last 2 months, please help.

KneeInstability after PCL avulsion Polio
I am a 45-year-old male with PPRP@RLL with equinus deformity, ~6 cm limb length discrepancy & knee hyperextension while walking. After deformity correction, I was able to walk without hand-to-thigh gait and was fine till 2021 Dec. Later I developed progressive arthritis of the foot/ankle, knee, and hip.
3 months ago I had a fall. Initial CT/MRI showed an undisplaced PCL avulsion fracture. A repeat CT showed a comminuted minimally displaced PCL avulsion fracture (largest ~0.9 × 1.1 × 0.7 cm with ~2.5 mm displacement).
After ~2 months, a third CT reported a partially united PCL avulsion fracture with no displaced fragment.
I was with a knee brace for 3 weeks and was advised full weight bearing with a walker one week ago. However, when I load the leg, I feel marked knee instability (shaky / giving-way sensation) and poor control, even with the walker, little pain knee backside.
I am seeking guidance on expected functional recovery and reasons for persistent instability in my knee.
