I've been diagnosed with a low-grade partial ACL tear and I'm wondering if physiotherapy alone can help it heal without affecting my daily routine or sports. Is it safe to skip surgery, or will I run into problems later? I really don't want any future issues that could disrupt my life can I manage this without surgery and still live normally? What's the best option for me?

I've had tailbone pain for 18 years after falling on a speedbreaker - my x-ray back then showed a hairline fracture but I didn't take proper care. Now my recent x-rays show anterior dislocation of the coccyx and the pain has gotten worse over the past 5 years. I can't sit directly and only manage 30 minutes with a special cushion. The doctor pointed out how my bone is bent inward - could this cause problems if I try stretching exercises? Would treatments like TENS or ultrasound therapy help since I want to avoid risky surgery

Given your chronic tailbone pain and the recent finding of an anterior dislocation with a bent coccyx, gentle stretching exercises might be beneficial, but it's crucial to proceed cautiously and under the guidance of a professional, especially if your doctor's concerned about potential complications. TENS and ultrasound therapy can offer pain relief and may be helpful in conjunction with other treatments, but they don't address the underlying dislocation.
