Had arthroscopy surgery 3 months ago for a small medial meniscus tear, trochlear dysplasia, and an ACL sprain but still dealing with pain, stiffness, and locking in my knee. The MRI also showed mild quadriceps tendinosis and a loose body in the joint. Why am I not recovering well and what should I do next?

View allI fell off my bike two months ago and have been dealing with sacroiliac pain since then is it possible to heal this completely without needing surgery or will I have to consider going under the knife?
A traumatic event such as a car accident, fall, or a sudden twisting motion can lead to SI joint pain. Like other injuries to the body, this may heal on its own over time. However, if the pain persists for longer than three months, then it may be time to seek treatment.

I have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?
A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.

I have scoliosis in my lower back and my x-ray shows it's C-shaped near the base of my spine. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? Are there specific exercises that might help correct it over time? I'm really worried about whether this can improve without going under the knife.
Mild scoliosis can improve with core strengthening, physiotherapy, and posture correction; regular follow-up is key, surgery only if worsening.
