I had ACL reconstruction and meniscus surgery 5 days ago where they took a graft from my ankle. Why is my ankle tingling and why does it hurt when I move my leg? How long until I can walk without any support?

I have L5 disc degeneration and my doctor recommended surgery, but I'm trying to avoid it for now. I've done 10 physiotherapy sessions with no relief yet. Do you think Ayurveda, homeopathy, or acupuncture could help manage the pain and improve my condition? I'm really worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first.

I injured my right wrist TFCC around two months back and the doctor recommended surgery. Can you explain the difference between open surgery and arthroscopy for TFCC repair? I'm a bit nervous about the options and recovery process

Arthroscopy is minimally invasive with quicker recovery; open surgery is used for more complex TFCC tears.

I'm a 40-year-old from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in the medial and lateral meniscus of my left knee along with an ACL tear. The report mentions an oblique tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness mid-substance ACL tear with some retraction. I consulted two orthopedic doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own without surgery What should be my next steps given my age and daily routine

ortho opinion is advised to the patient at apollo hospital.
