I partially tore my ACL while playing soccer and I'm worried if it'll heal on its own or if I need surgery. Can physiotherapy fix it or is surgery the only option? I don't want to rush into an operation if rest and rehab can do the trick.

I'm 25 and I've noticed that my chest has some kind of deformation. After looking it up online, I figured out that it might be pigeon chest. I'm really keen on getting it treated but I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any other way to deal with this?

I've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.
