I've been dealing with this annoying lower back pain for the last 23 days. It's strange because it doesn't hurt when I'm walking or sleeping, but it really bothers me when I sit down. Could you recommend any medicine or treatment that might help with this?

View allI have a grade 3 ACL tear and some other ligament damage in my right knee is surgery absolutely necessary? I've heard about stem cell therapy would that be a better option for full recovery? Which treatment will help me regain full knee function and biomechanics? Really confused about what to choose for the best long-term results.
The ACL is a stabilizer of the knee. It is quite important for the bio mechanics of the knee. Knee is not a simple hinge, but a complex bicondylar joint. Many studies have shown that ACL injury if left untreated may lead to early arthritis and injury to the menisci. But in simpler terms, if the knee buckling and feeling of give way is severe, better to reconstruct. Stem cell therapy helps in regeneration of tissue, but it's efficacy if still not fully documented. But it will have no immediate stabilising effect. I don't know any studies which have shown ACL regeneration with stem cell therapy.

my mom broke her tibia 3 years ago and had surgery but the rod wasn't removed due to some issues - could leaving it in for this long cause any problems
ortho opinion is advised to the patient.

It's been 80 days since my tibia surgery where they used plates and nails for both legs. The swelling has gone down but I'm still unsure can I start walking now or do I need to wait longer? I'm worried about putting weight on them too soon.
You should walk now. Continue active non weight bearing mobilisation of knee,ankle and hip. Start with partial weight bearing with walker. Then progress to full weight bearing. Pain relief will be important.Please get the latest xray to see bony union which will decide the weight bearing on the limbs
