I have a ganglion cyst on my left forearm that swells up and gets uncomfortable when I lift heavy things but doesn't hurt when I press it Will it go away with aspiration or do I need surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A ganglion cyst on your forearm that swells and causes discomfort when lifting heavy things, but doesn't hurt when pressed, can be treated with aspiration or surgery. Aspiration involves draining the fluid from the cyst, which can provide temporary relief. Surgery is an option if aspiration fails or if the cyst is causing significant problems

Can an MRI show if a tendon is completely torn or just damaged and is it possible to heal a damaged tendon without surgery
Yes, an MRI can differentiate between a completely torn (ruptured) tendon and a partially torn or damaged tendon. It can also help determine the extent of the tear and assess any associated injuries, like avulsion fractures. Many damaged tendons can heal without surgery, especially partial tears, through conservative treatment options like rest, bracing, physical therapy, and potentially injections

I damaged my knee cartilage and heard it doesn't heal well on its own are there any surgeries or treatments that can actually help regenerate it or am I stuck with this forever
While knee cartilage doesn't naturally regenerate, several surgical and nonsurgical treatments can help repair, regenerate, or replace damaged cartilage. You're not necessarily "stuck" with the damage if you seek appropriate medical care.
