I had ACL surgery 3 months ago but still feel shaky on the MCL side when walking - my doctor says it's common after surgery but I'm worried. Are there any effective Ayurvedic treatments to strengthen the ligaments and improve stability?

Ayurvedic approaches can be beneficial for strengthening ligaments and promoting stability, but it's essential to consult with your doctor and a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating these treatments. Ayurveda focuses on balancing body energies and promoting healing, and specific remedies and practices can be tailored to your individual needs

After a leg fracture, how long before someone can start playing sports again? My friend was advised to take a break for 4 weeks. Is that usually enough time?
