I fractured my leg over 15 days ago and just got my latest results. Can you take a look and tell me if I need surgery to fix the rod or if it's healing okay on its own?

I'm really struggling with sitting on a chair for more than 8 hours a day. It's causing me some heavy lower and upper back pain, and on top of that, I'm experiencing shortness of breath pretty frequently. I've spoken to a few doctors, and they've suggested B12 for the back pain and some gastric tablets for the breathing issues, but I still haven't seen much improvement. I'm getting a bit worried. Do you have any advice on what else I could try or what might be going on?

continue b12 and tablet zerodol for 5 days,twice a day

I just got my MRI report and it shows a complex tear in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and a partial ACL tear. There's also a grade 1 injury of the patellar tendon with medial subluxation of the patella, a medial patellar plica tear, and mild synovial effusion. How serious is this? Can I manage with therapy or do I need surgery?

The MRI results indicate a significant knee injury requiring careful consideration of treatment options. The complex tear of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, the horizontal tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and the partial ACL tear all suggest a moderate to severe injury. While some meniscus tears and minor ACL injuries can be managed with physical therapy, the complexity of your injury, especially with the medial subluxation of the patella and plica tear, suggests that surgery may be a more likely path to full recovery and long-term knee health.
