I've been dealing with severe pain for the past 30 days and visited both a general physician and an orthopedic specialist. They prescribed antacids, painkillers, and suggested using a splint, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is surgery the best option to relieve this pain or should I wait longer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If severe pain persists for 30 days despite seeing a general physician and orthopedic specialist, further evaluation and specialized care may be necessary. Consider consulting a pain management specialist or other relevant specialist for advanced diagnostics and treatment options.

View allI've been told I have mucoid degeneration of the ACL in my left knee can this be managed with just physiotherapy or will I eventually need surgery? I'm worried about long-term damage if I don't get the right treatment early on.
Mucoid degeneration of the ACL can often be managed initially with non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, injections. However, if conservative measures fail or the condition progresses, surgery might be necessary, particularly if there is significant impingement or pain. Early intervention and adherence to a treatment plan are crucial to minimize long-term damage and prevent further complications.

MRI shows interstitial injury in my ACL but the ligament is still intact, plus a grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and mild joint effusion. I don't have knee pain, just a little discomfort behind the knee. Do I need surgery or can physiotherapy help with this?

I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?
Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.
