Asking for Self, Female, 20 years old, Lahore
My right knee arthroscopy was done on Thursday the 19th. I had one small muscle stitch/wash & inflammation was decompressed, overall have two stitches. Today is the 25th. When can I start putting weight on my right leg and walk on it? I mean, when will I be able to walk properly on both legs. Right now I'm using a walker by putting weight only on left legt not putting weight on right leg. Currently I've stitches & it will be removed after 10 days. Doctors can you please guide me about this weight bearing and when should i start proper physiotherapy.
Thank you
Weight bearing on the operated side depends upon the operative procedure which was done inside your knee . Best doctor to answer your concern and when to start putting weight and how much weight to put on is your operating Surgeon. Please ask him or read operating Surgeon post operative orders.
Regards
Ideally we advise Protected Weight bearing with Walker or clutches with 2nd week of surgery, Knee Range of motion advised after 3 weeks of surgery
but only Operating Surgeon shall get to decide your treatment plan as per his/her operative findings and his experience.
Multiple options and suggestions may worsen the expected outcome. Thanks

Diet for bone health cure and overall structure vitality!! Halal diet based on milk.
A diet to support bone health, skeletal strength, and overall vitality should focus on adequate calcium, vitamin D, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin K, while maintaining overall nutritional balance. Below is a structured Halal, milk-based dietary approach suitable for bone health.
1. Key Nutrients for Bone Health
✅ Calcium
Primary mineral for bone structure.
Target intake (adults): ~1000–1200 mg/day (verify with local guidelines).
Halal milk-based sources:
- Cow’s milk (fresh or powdered)
- Goat’s milk
- Laban (fermented milk)
- Yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- Labneh
- Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, cottage cheese – halal-certified)
✅ Vitamin D
Essential for calcium absorption. Deficiency impairs bone mineralization.
Sources:
- Safe sunlight exposure (10–30 min depending on skin tone and climate)
- Fortified halal milk
- Egg yolks
- Fatty fish (salmon, sardines – halal)
- Vitamin D supplementation if required (verify dosage per regional guidelines)
✅ Protein
Critical for bone matrix formation and muscle strength.
Halal milk-based sources:
- Milk (8 g protein per cup)
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Whey protein (halal-certified)
Also include:
- Lentils
- Chickpeas
- Eggs
- Lean halal meats
✅ Magnesium & Vitamin K
Support bone mineral density.
Sources:
- Spinach, kale
- Broccoli
- Almonds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Whole grains
2. Sample Halal Milk-Based Bone Health Plan
? Morning
- 1 glass fortified milk
- Oats cooked in milk topped with almonds and dates
- Boiled egg
? Lunch
- Grilled halal chicken or lentil curry
- Brown rice or whole wheat roti
- Spinach or broccoli
- Yogurt (plain)
? Snack
- Cottage cheese or labneh with olive oil
- Fresh fruit
? Dinner
- Baked salmon or chickpea stew
- Mixed vegetables
- Small portion of cheese
? Before Bed
- Warm milk (supports calcium intake and sleep quality)
3. Additional Clinical Considerations
- Weight-bearing exercise (walking, resistance training) is essential for bone remodeling.
- Limit excessive caffeine and carbonated soft drinks.
- Avoid smoking.
- Maintain healthy body weight.
- In postmenopausal women or elderly adults, calcium + vitamin D supplementation may be necessary if dietary intake is insufficient (follow local medical guidance).
4. Special Situations
- Lactose intolerance: Use lactose-free milk or fermented dairy (yogurt, laban).
- Osteoporosis: Higher protein intake and monitored calcium/vitamin D supplementation may be required.
- Kidney disease: Calcium and phosphorus intake must be medically supervised.
Important Note
There is no single “cure” diet for bone disease. Bone strength depends on long-term nutritional adequacy, hormonal status, physical activity, and overall health. Dietary planning should align with your regional nutritional guidelines and individual medical condition.
A consistent halal milk-based diet, combined with adequate vitamin D and exercise, strongly supports bone integrity and structural vitality.
