I'm a bit worried about a partial tear in my medial patellofemoral ligament. Is surgery necessary, or is it something that could heal with just rest? What would be the best approach for treatment?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
if it is partial tear it can be cured by rest and physiotheraphy. if still pain is persisting and reduced movements then surgery is better option

View allI have a partial to near complete ACL ligament tear according to my MRI report do I really need surgery or are there other treatment options that could work for me? I'm worried about recovery time and whether I can avoid going under the knife.
if the MRI report says that you have a complete tear of the ACL. ACL is one of the stabilizers of the knee. Without the ACL, the knee will become unstable and the other parts of the knee will undergo more pressure/wear and tear. So it is important to get a surgery... especially at your young age. Had you been above 45-50 years of age, surgery may not have been compulsory. But right now, it is very essential to get it done. If you still don't want surgery, you will need to follow a few precautions to ensure that the knee does not undergo more wear and tear. These are: *Avoid sitting/sleeping on the floor. *Avoid using stairs as much as possible. Use a lift whenever you can. *Avoid using an Indian Toilet. Use a Western style toilet or a foldable toilet chair

My ACL in my right knee has been torn for 10 years my first doctor told me to rest and exercise. Now after another fall, a new doc says only ACL reconstruction surgery will fix it permanently. Are there any other options besides surgery?
yes advised.

I've been dealing with left shoulder pain for two years now, and it's really limiting my movements some motions cause intense pain. My BP is under control, but the MRI showed issues in my left shoulder. One doctor suggested rotator cuff repair surgery, but I'm unsure if that's the best option. What would you recommend for long-term relief, and what should I expect if I go through with the surgery?
Chronic shoulder pain with MRI findings often benefits from rotator cuff repair—physiotherapy first, then surgery if no relief; recovery takes weeks.
