I have a mild wedge fracture at L1 and I'm not sure if I should get surgery or just stick to bed rest and physio. What's the better option for healing properly without making things worse?

I've been having mild pain in my left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using my phone or laptop for a while. I already have ulnar nerve subluxation in my right elbow and surgery is planned for that, but this left side pain is different no tingling or subluxation, just discomfort that eases with massage. Could this be related to overuse or something else I should be concerned about

The mild pain in your left inner elbow and forearm, especially after using your phone or laptop, could be related to overuse or a similar condition to your right elbow's ulnar nerve subluxation, but without the tingling or subluxation. While it's different from your right elbow, it's still worth investigating. Since it eases with massage, it may be a less severe form of nerve irritation or muscle strain. However, it's wise to consult with a doctor or physical therapist to rule out other potential issues and get personalized advice.

Could you recommend a good specialist for this in Mumbai or nearby areas?

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.

ACL repair and reconstructive sx is advised.
