I have ulnar nerve subluxation in my right elbow where the nerve pops out over the medial epicondyle when I bend my arm. Every doctor I've seen recommends surgery, but I'm wondering if homeopathy can help stop the nerve from moving instead
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While homeopathic treatments may offer some relief from pain and inflammation associated with ulnar nerve subluxation, there is no scientific evidence to support their ability to stop the nerve from moving or reposition it. Medical professionals recommend surgery (anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve) as the most effective treatment for ulnar nerve subluxation because it addresses the underlying issue of nerve displacement and prevents further damage

View allI'm only 52 inches tall and feel really frustrated because everyone in my family is taller than me, even my siblings. I have bow legs (genu varum) which makes me look even shorter. Are there any treatments like growth hormones or surgery that could help me grow taller? How much would they cost? I'm struggling with this so much that it's affecting my mental health who should I consult for help?
At 52 inches with genu varum, limb lengthening or correction can help—consult ortho/plastic surgeon.

I have a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus do I really need surgery for this or can it heal with just meds and physio
A horizontal tear in the posterior horn of your medial meniscus may or may not require surgery, depending on the size and location of the tear. Small tears in the "red-red" or "red-white" zones (with blood supply for healing) may heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and pain medication. Larger tears or those in the "white zone" (no blood supply) are less likely to heal on their own and may require surgery.

I have a grade 3 ACL tear and some other ligament damage in my right knee is surgery absolutely necessary? I've heard about stem cell therapy would that be a better option for full recovery? Which treatment will help me regain full knee function and biomechanics? Really confused about what to choose for the best long-term results.
The ACL is a stabilizer of the knee. It is quite important for the bio mechanics of the knee. Knee is not a simple hinge, but a complex bicondylar joint. Many studies have shown that ACL injury if left untreated may lead to early arthritis and injury to the menisci. But in simpler terms, if the knee buckling and feeling of give way is severe, better to reconstruct. Stem cell therapy helps in regeneration of tissue, but it's efficacy if still not fully documented. But it will have no immediate stabilising effect. I don't know any studies which have shown ACL regeneration with stem cell therapy.
