I'm really concerned about what they found in my X-ray. It mentions something about bilateral sacralization of L5. The report says the pedicles, interpedicular distances, spinous and transverse processes are normal, and the intervertebral disc spaces aren't reduced. Can you help me understand if this is something I should be worried about?

my doctor said the fibula bone near my ankle is broken and recommended surgery but I'm unsure if it's really needed can it heal on its own without surgery or is surgery the only option

A fractured fibula near the ankle can sometimes heal without surgery, but it depends on the type and severity of the fracture. Surgery might be necessary for displaced or unstable fractures, or if other parts of the leg are also injured.

Had ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Post-ACL symptoms suggest incomplete recovery or complications‚Äîrepeat evaluation and guided rehab are recommended.

I have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?

non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.
