Can I get ACL ligament reconstruction surgery under the Arogyasri scheme in Telangana at top hospitals like KIMS, Sunshine, Yashoda, Apollo, Maxcure, or Srikara? I'm worried about the coverage and quality of care at these places for this procedure

View allI'm really concerned because I've been dealing with shoulder pain for the past two weeks, and applying things like Moov or Relaxyl hasn't helped at all. It feels like my head is leaning forward when I walk, and there's this uncomfortable stiffness radiating from my shoulder down my back. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I should do next?

I've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?
Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

I've been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand based on my NCSEPS EMG report showing prolonged distal latency and reduced AMP and NCV in the median nerve studies. Two doctors an orthopedic surgeon and a neuropathy surgeon both recommended carpal tunnel release surgery. Who is better suited to perform this surgery, an orthopedic doctor or a neurologist surgeon? Also, between microscopic and endoscopic surgery, which one has better success rates for healing?
Both orthopedic and neurological surgeons are qualified to perform carpal tunnel release surgery, and there isn't a clear consensus on which is "better." The choice often comes down to surgeon preference and experience. Endoscopic and microscopic techniques both offer good success rates, with endoscopic surgery potentially leading to faster recovery and less postoperative pain for some patients
