I tore my ACL grade 2 and I'm really worried can it heal on its own or will I need surgery? I've heard mixed things and don't know what to expect for recovery

It's been three months since my ACL and MCL surgery on my right knee, but I still have a very mild limp when walking. I can flex my knee up to 120 degrees and fully extend it, though it's still a little less than my left leg since that one hyperextends. Is this slight limp normal? I can climb stairs but only one at a time.

A mild limp after ACL and MCL surgery at 3 months is common.Physiotherapy should continue and full recovery may take 6–12 months with gradual improvement.

I've been dealing with a D12 compression fracture from an accident, and at first, the pain disappeared after about three months. But after a recent flight, I noticed some discomfort when the plane was landing. Now it's spreading to a few spots along with the original D12 area. Should I be thinking about going for another MRI or just stick to medication for now?

if the fracture is healed there will not be such problems in flight journey, it may be due back muscles strain because of long term sitting in upright posture, take hot or cold pack, if doesn't subside consult orthopedic surgeon
