Is it possible for AVN to heal on its own without surgery if my right hip is stage 3 and left hip is stage 2

While avascular necrosis (AVN) is a progressive condition, and often requires surgery to manage, it's possible for some cases to resolve on their own or be managed conservatively. The stage of AVN and the specific location within the hip can influence whether non-surgical approaches are viable

Just got my MRI results showing a partial thickness tear in the midsubstance of my ACL what are my best non-surgical options for recovery? Really worried about how this might affect my mobility long-term

For a partial ACL tear in the mid-substance, non-surgical treatment often involves physical therapy, activity modification, and potentially a brace. The goal is to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve stability, potentially preventing long-term issues. While a partial tear can be managed non-surgically, it's crucial to understand that some individuals may still experience long-term issues like instability or other complications.

I've been playing badminton for quite a long time, about 34 years actually, and I've never had any issues before. But lately, I've noticed that when I wake up early in the morning, I experience some sort of pain on my left-hand side. Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

It is possible that you are experiencing muscle strain or inflammation in your left hand due to repetitive use during badminton. I recommend taking a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (e.g. Voltaren) to the affected area. Make sure to rest your hand and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists, consult a physiotherapist for further evaluation and management.
