I have a high grade ACL tear in my right knee and I'm trying to recover without surgery through Ayurvedic treatment. They're using two methods janudhara and upnah. Just wanted to check if this is the right approach for healing my ACL tear naturally or if I should consider other options

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

It's understandable to be concerned, but masturbation doesn't significantly affect the healing of an ankle injury. The body prioritizes healing based on the injury's severity, and while sperm production is ongoing, it doesn't slow down the repair process of a minor injury like an ankle sprain. Focus on rest, elevation, and proper care for the ankle to aid recovery.

My husband has been dealing with shoulder pain for two years now because of gym exercises. The MRI shows a small partial thickness tear in the anterior fibers, no full-thickness tear or tendon retraction, and some fluid in the subacromial bursa along with acromioclavicular arthropathy. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?

Partial shoulder tears can often be managed conservatively with rehab—MRI review and ortho consult are advised.

Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?

kindly share report
