I'm really worried about my MRI results showing a chronic partial ACL tear and this buckling happening at the back. It also mentions a small chronic grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the inferior meniscal surface. What should I be doing about this? Does this mean surgery is unavoidable, or are there other treatment options I should consider first? I'm just anxious about what this all means for my mobility and day-to-day activities.

View allI'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.

it's been a year since my tibial plateau surgery with a 6 inch plate and I still get pain when standing for around 10 minutes - is this normal or should I be concerned about how it's healing?
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent pain after a tibial plateau fracture surgery, even after a year. While some degree of pain and stiffness is expected during recovery, prolonged pain warrants further evaluation.

Aspiration involves draining the fluid from the cyst, which can provide temporary relief. Surgery is an option if aspiration fails or if the cyst is causing significant problems
