About 30 days ago I met with an accident and now have problems in my left knee. The MRI report shows intraligament hyperintense areas in the ACL, abnormal hyperintensity in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, MCL thickening with hyperintensity, bone marrow contusion in the medial femoral and tibial condyle, a radial tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and a grade 1 MCL sprain. Can partial ACL damage heal without surgery or does it need reconstruction?

A partial ACL tear can sometimes heal without surgery, but it depends on the extent of the tear and your individual circumstances. Your MRI shows a few other injuries alongside the partial ACL tear, including a medial meniscus tear and an MCL sprain, which could influence the treatment decision. Consulting with an orthopedic specialist is crucial to determine the best course of action for your specific situation

View allI've been dealing with neck pain for a couple of months now. Sometimes it eases up, but then it just comes back after a few days. At first, I thought maybe it was from sleeping in a bad position. I'm really starting to get concerned. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?
For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Make sure to improve your sleeping habits and maintain good posture during the day. If the pain persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

Is it possible for AVN to heal on its own without surgery if my right hip is stage 3 and left hip is stage 2
While avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition, and often requires surgery to manage, it's possible for some cases to resolve on their own or be managed conservatively. The stage of AVN and the specific location within the hip can influence whether non-surgical approaches are viable

I have grade 3 lax les hills and really scared of surgery can I recover with just meds or is surgery my only option to get back to normal
Grade 3 LES laxity often requires surgical correction. Medicines may help symptoms but don’t usually reverse anatomical defects.
