Is chondromalacia patella something that can ever be fully cured? I've been getting treatment for more than a year now. I've had an MRI, taken tablets, got HA injections, and even done physio, but I'm just not feeling the relief I was hoping for. I used to be super active in sports, and now I can't even jog. Can you please tell me honestly if there's a chance of curing it, or should I start thinking about adjusting my life around this? This is really important for me to know.

high IgE level of above 3000 can be a cause for concern. It's essential to consult a specialized doctor to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels.
You should consider consulting an Immunologist or an Allergist who can help diagnose and manage conditions related to high IgE levels, such as Hyper IgE Syndrome (HIES) . They may recommend further tests, such as blood work or skin prick tests, to determine the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels.
In some cases, high IgE levels can be associated with allergic reactions, skin conditions, or immune system disorders. Your doctor may prescribe medications to manage symptoms or recommend lifestyle changes to help reduce IgE levels.
It's crucial to seek medical attention if your wife experiences any of the following symptoms:
- Severe allergic reactions
- Recurring skin infections
- Respiratory problems
- Fever or chills

MRI shows grade 1 ACL tear with sprains in anterior and posterior horn of lateral meniscus plus grade 1 MCL tear - is surgery my only option or are there other treatments I can try first It's been 3 months since my injury and the scan revealed these issues - how serious are these grade 1 tears and what's the best way to recover My MRI report mentions multiple grade 1 tears including ACL and MCL - should I be considering surgery right away or are there conservative treatments that might help I've got grade 1 tears in ACL and MCL plus meniscus sprains - what's the typical recovery plan for injuries like this and when would surgery become necessary Dealing with these grade 1 tears in multiple ligaments - how long does recovery usually take and what kind of rehab should I be doing
With grade 1 tears in the ACL and MCL, along with meniscus sprains, non-surgical treatment is often the first approach, including bracing, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity. Surgery might be considered if conservative treatments fail to restore stability or if there's significant ongoing pain or instability. The ACL tear, in particular, may require surgery if it's a significant tear or if you're an athlete. Recovery typically takes several months, with ACL injuries often taking 6 months or longer for full recovery, and MCL injuries healing faster
