Dear Doctor: I’m a 53-year-old woman, and I’ve been athletic all my life. I’m in a soccer league and have a grinding pain in my right knee. I’ve had knee injuries in the past, and now I’m told I might need a partial knee replacement. Why would that be? What does it entail?

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to our monthly letters column. Flu season in the United States peaks during December, January and February, so please take precautions. We recently wrote about several common respiratory illnesses, including influenza, whooping cough, COVID-19 and pneumonia. We also discussed how to protect those around you when you’re ill. If you missed any of these, or would like a refresher, check out our archives. And now, your letters.

Where did all the fascism talk go?

On Monday, journalist Glenn Greenwald asked on X, “Is there a single person in DC or media acting as if Literal Adolf Hitler is about to assume power in 2 weeks in order to end American democracy, install fascism, and create a white supremacist dictatorship?

Seldom-present boyfriend treads on thin ice

DEAR HARRIETTE: My boyfriend and I have been together for about five months now. When he first asked me to be his girlfriend, he said he was ready for a serious relationship. I’m starting to feel like he doesn’t have any time for me, and I’m questioning whether he’s as committed as he claimed to be. He’s always either working or traveling, and while I understand that his career is demanding, it feels like I’ve been pushed to the back burner. We rarely spend quality time together, and even when we do, I can tell his mind is often elsewhere. He’ll take calls during our dates or cut plans short because of work obligations.
