I'm 35 years old and my height is 53 inches. Is there any treatment or surgery that can help me increase my height to at least 56 or 57 inches? I'm really curious if it's possible at my age and would love to consult with doctors about my options

View allI have a high grade sprain with a partial thickness tear in my ACL from playing cricket and I'm really not keen on surgery. The doctor recommended surgery first followed by physio but I'm wondering if ayurvedic treatment could help instead. Right now I'm doing physio exercises and my knee stability has improved a bit. Should I still consider surgery or is there a non-surgical route that could work for me?
It all depends whether you knee is stable or not. If unstable (knee wobbles in some positions) needs surgery. Otherwise no. All this other modalities of treatment are futile.

I'm from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in my left knee medial and lateral meniscus plus an ACL issue. The report mentions an oblique tear in the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness ACL tear with some retraction. I've seen two ortho doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own with physio, or is surgery the only option? What's the best treatment for my case?
Prompt treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and may improve your chances of a full recovery.Stretching physical therapy is advise.Also RICE treatment is advied to the patient(REST,ICE,COMPRESSION and ELEVATION).Surgery advised is arthroscopy and meniscectomy is the gold standard technique to the patient.

Here's a rephrased version that meets your criteria: *I just got my x-ray results showing a broken bone. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other options? Really worried about what comes next.* This keeps it natural, drops formalities, and focuses on the concern without sounding robotic.
It's understandable to be worried when you hear about a broken bone. Surgery isn't always the only option, and many fractures can be treated with less invasive methods. Your doctor will consider the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health when determining the best treatment plan.
