I had a scooter accident 15 days ago and the MRI shows a full ACL tear, but I can still do most daily activities with minimal pain. Do I really need surgery or can I manage without it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While you might be able to manage with a full ACL tear without surgery, especially if you're not highly active, the decision depends on your individual lifestyle and goals. Surgery is often recommended for athletes or those who participate in activities that require pivoting or twisting movements. Conservative treatment with physical therapy and bracing is an option for those with less demanding activities

View allI've had ACL and meniscus surgery back in August, and then in December, I slipped and fell. My knee's not swollen, but it bent all the way back, which hurt for a couple of days. It's been a few weeks now, and I'm back at the gym. I'm pretty sure it's not my ACL, but I'm worried about the meniscus. There are minor pains, nothing too severe, but I don't have health insurance. I can jog and jump, but there's something a bit off in my knee. How can I tell if I might have torn my meniscus?
Common Signs of a Meniscus Tear are pain, swelling, catching and difficulty Fully Straightening the leg if you have anuy of these symptomss please consult your doctor

I've had a painful bone spur in my elbow for 7 years and might need surgery how much would it cost to remove it? The pain is really bothering me and I'm curious about the expenses.
Unless it causing problems- don’t have it removed. Share the x rays. It will cost around Indian rupees 50000 rupees . If use anchors it will be around 80000 rupees. Cost varies depending on the hospitals

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on ATT with complete bed rest for about four months now. I've started doing some cycling for 30 minutes because I really want to lose weight, but I'm wondering if this is a good choice since I sometimes feel pain in my spine area. I don't want to cut down on calories, so I'm hoping to lose weight through physical activity. What would you recommend? Should I keep cycling or maybe try something else?
Continue ATT as advised by the pulmonologist.
