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 had a complete ACL tear two years ago and haven't had surgery yet should I consider getting it done now? What are the risks if I leave it untreated and how might it affect my mobility long-term?
The knee might heal—the swelling and pain will stop. But a torn anterior cruciate ligament does not reattach or heal itself. You may still be able to live how you want by strengthening your leg and core (your hips contribute to leg strength and function) and adjusting your activities.

My 17-year-old daughter had brain tumor surgery at age 4 and now has issues with her breast and neck shifting out of place. An ortho doctor recommended seeing a surgeon for reverse cervical lordosis, but we're worried about another operation. Are there non-surgical options to help correct this or relieve her symptoms?

I'm dealing with a neck spasm and shoulder muscle pain for the past couple of days, and there's a slight swelling near the right side of my jaw. I've already tried applying ointment and taking painkillers, but its not getting any better. Should I be worried about this, or is there something else I should be doing?
have xray and consult your doctor
