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?

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

I broke my ankle about five months ago and used a cast for it, but didn't have any surgery. It's healed now, but sometimes I'm still getting pain and swelling. I already talked to an ortho, and they said no workouts for a year and that I don't need physical therapy or any other treatment. I'm really wondering if I should be using a crepe bandage, anklet, ankle binder, or ankle brace to fully recover and be able to start working out again. What do you think would be best?

I'm dealing with a mild disc bulge at the L5S1 level and kind of confused about which specialist to see. Should I go to an orthopedic doctor or a neurosurgeon for this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
