I have an ACL injury and don't have much knee pain, but my knee feels stiff behind when I sit for too long. Can physiotherapy alone fix this, or will I eventually need surgery? I've attached my MRI results.

View allI just got my MRI report and it shows a complex tear in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and a partial ACL tear. There's also a grade 1 injury of the patellar tendon with medial subluxation of the patella, a medial patellar plica tear, and mild synovial effusion. How serious is this? Can I manage with therapy or do I need surgery?
The MRI results indicate a significant knee injury requiring careful consideration of treatment options. The complex tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, the horizontal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and the partial ACL tear all suggest a moderate to severe injury. While some meniscus tears and minor ACL injuries can be managed with physical therapy, the complexity of your injury, especially with the medial subluxation of the patella and plica tear, suggests that surgery may be a more likely path to full recovery and long-term knee health.

I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?
do chest xray

I was playing badminton for a short time and then hurt myself while picking up a shuttlecock. I might have sprained my ankle. After that, I walked for a couple of minutes and suddenly felt nauseous and fainted. Why do you think this happened?
