I've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.

I've been struggling with severe joint pain for years and can barely walk anymore. I've tried ayurveda, homeopathy, and allopathy treatments but nothing's worked. Is knee replacement surgery my only option left or are there other treatments I should explore first?

While knee replacement surgery may be a solution for severe joint pain, it's not always the first or only option. There are several other treatments and approaches to explore, including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and other minimally invasive procedures
