I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

View allI've had knock knees for about 4 years now and I'm 18 - what's the best way to fix this? Do I need to do special exercises, wear braces, or is surgery my only option? It's been bothering me for a while and I'm not sure what to do about it
Mild cases of knock knees can improve with physiotherapy or braces. Severe or persistent cases at 18 may need corrective osteotomy surgery.

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.
