My MRI showed a partial ACL tear in my left knee and it's been about a year now. My doctor recommended physio over surgery but I'm not seeing much improvement. Should I keep pushing with physio or consider other options? Also, some doctors say to ice it while others say heat what's the best approach for pain and recovery?

I've been struggling with back pain for a while now. I went to an orthopedic doctor but didn't see any improvement. The pain is mostly in my lower back. I also tried physiotherapy, but that hasn't helped either. I'm really hoping for some advice or guidance on what to do next because it's been so frustrating. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
