I've been experiencing this constant tightness and strain in my upper chest wall, like it's always tense, especially when I do anything using my left hand. I recently found out my Vitamin D and B12 levels are significantly low from a blood test. I've started taking Tayo 60K for Vitamin D, and just a couple of days ago, I began MeAxon Plus for B12. I'm not sure if these are related, but about 10 months ago, I lifted a heavy bag and twisted my spine, which caused me quite a bit of pain, but it went back to normal the next day. However, the strain in my chest hasn't gone away since then. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I can get better?

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.

The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing

I've been diagnosed with grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear can this be fully fixed with surgery or is physiotherapy enough to recover properly?
For both Grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear, a combination of surgical and non-surgical approaches is often necessary to achieve full recovery. Surgery might be considered for the ACL tear and/or chondromalacia, especially for individuals who are active or want to return to sports, but physiotherapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation and can be effective in some cases
