I had a major humerus fracture and got a plate put in almost two years back. Now I'm having pain when I move my arm too much at work and can't lift my left hand above my shoulder. What can I do to help it heal better and when would be the right time to get the plate removed?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You can get the plate removed now. Start physiotherapy exercises to relieve stiffness.

View allI recently got an MRI for a knee injury from playing sports and it shows a partial ACL tear at the femoral attachment, along with some changes in the medial meniscus, bone contusion in the tibial condyle, and mild joint effusion. Will this heal on its own or do I need physiotherapy or even surgery? What's the best treatment plan for this kind of injury?
Partial ACL tears and meniscal changes often improve with physiotherapy—surgery only if instability or pain persists.

I'm 19 and have bow legs which my friends tease me about. I really want to straighten them naturally through exercises instead of surgery are there any options that could help me?
While exercises and stretches can help strengthen muscles and improve alignment, they won't change the shape of your bones, which is the root cause of bow legs. Surgery (osteotomy) is generally the only way to correct the bone alignment in adults. However, strengthening exercises and stretches can help manage symptoms and improve overall leg health

My heels have been really hurting and the X-ray shows heel spurs. Do I need surgery for this or are there other treatment options?
Heel spurs are not typically treated surgically unless nonsurgical methods fail to relieve pain after a significant period, usually 9-12 months. Most people find relief from heel pain with non-surgical treatments like stretching, shoe inserts, and physical therapy
