How can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

View allI've had low back pain for 8 months and an MRI showed a disc bulge, but the doctors haven't explained what caused it. Painkillers don't help, and I can't sit or work for more than an hour without pain. Even lifting slightly heavy things is tough. Do I really need surgery for this? I'm worried about steroid injections because of side effects like weight gain what else can I do to get back to normal life?
Surgery is not always needed; structured physiotherapy and core strengthening can help avoid injections and regain function.
