I have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.

View allIs it safe to delay ACL surgery for 6 months because I have police training starting next month and don't want to miss it? What are the risks if I wait that long?
The more you can delay is six months. The time between ACL injury and surgery should be a minimum of one to two months. This is because around five to six months you will notice that you are no longer in a position to even walk and lift your legs. This will see you easily drag you to the orthopedic doctor for surgery

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?
The time it takes to recover from a leg fracture and resume playing sports or physical activities varies depending on the severity and location of the fracture, but generally, it can take anywhere from 6-12 weeks or even longer for more complex fractures, so your friend's 4-week rest period is likely just the initial phase of recovery
