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 have scoliosis in my lower back and my x-ray shows it's C-shaped near the base of my spine. Is there any way to fix this without surgery? Are there specific exercises that might help correct it over time? I'm really worried about whether this can improve without going under the knife.
Mild scoliosis can improve with core strengthening, physiotherapy, and posture correction; regular follow-up is key, surgery only if worsening.

I had surgery for a meniscus tear on both sides of my left knee and I'm worried about how to properly heal and strengthen it. What exercises or rehab should I focus on? Also, I'm on bedrest and scared of gaining weight any tips to stay active or eat right while recovering?
Meniscus tear recovery needs gradual rehab—start with quad strengthening and avoid weight gain by following a high-protein, low-calorie diet.
