I damaged my knee cartilage and heard it doesn't heal well on its own are there any surgeries or treatments that can actually help regenerate it or am I stuck with this forever
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While knee cartilage doesn't naturally regenerate, several surgical and nonsurgical treatments can help repair, regenerate, or replace damaged cartilage. You're not necessarily "stuck" with the damage if you seek appropriate medical care.

View allI met with an accident a week ago and the first doctor I saw recommended surgery but the second one said it's not needed. Why do doctors have such different opinions about the same injury? It's really confusing and worrying me.
If you receive conflicting opinions from two doctors, consider the following steps: Understand the Opinions: Take time to understand both diagnoses and treatment recommendations. Ask each doctor to explain their reasoning. Gather More Information: Research the conditions and suggested treatments to better understand the medical issues at hand. Ask Questions: Reach out to both doctors with any questions or concerns you have about their opinions. This could clarify their reasoning and help you make an informed decision. Seek a Third Opinion: If you're still uncertain, consider consulting a third doctor. This can provide additional perspectives and help you weigh your options. Consider Specialization: If the opinions differ significantly, it might be useful to consult a specialist related to the specific condition. Evaluate Your Options: After gathering all the information, consider your own health, preferences, and values when making a decision about treatment. Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your instincts about which opinion resonates more with you, and feel empowered to choose a path that feels right. Follow Up: Regardless of the decision, ensure you have a plan for follow-up care and monitoring. It's important to have open communication with your healthcare providers throughout this process

I have stage 2 avascular necrosis in my left femoral head and heard homeopathy might help cure it without surgery Has anyone actually recovered this way or are there other non-surgical options that worked for people
Homeopathy may help symptoms, but there's no strong evidence it can reverse avascular necrosis. Core decompression or stem cell therapy might help before joint replacement is needed.
