I've been having issues with my spine at the L5 level and there's some space there not sure how it happened. Is it possible to recover from this without needing surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, recovery from spine issues at the L5 level, including those involving space or alignment, is often possible without surgery. Conservative treatments like physical therapy, pain management, and lifestyle modifications are frequently the first line of care.

View allI have a full thickness supraspinatus tear in my right shoulder can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? What would you recommend for treatment?
non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, a full-thickness supraspinatus tear in your right shoulder will likely require surgery to address the complete tear and restore proper shoulder function.

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.

I'm really worried about my knee. I hurt it while walking and now I can't seem to stand up straight on just one knee. The pain is intense, like a shock every time I try to walk after the injury. I did see an orthopedist who just twisted my leg a bit and I felt better for a while, but once I got home, the pain came back even worse. It's like a sharp jerk in my knee whenever I move. I'm freaking out about whether this is serious or if I might even need surgery. The thing is, I'm not in a good financial position and I'm really scared about what this means for my life and career. Could you please tell me what might be going on?
The recurring shock-like pain and instability in your knee suggest a possible ligament sprain or meniscal injury, which may not necessarily require surgery; however, to determine the extent of the injury and appropriate treatment, consider undergoing an MRI scan and consulting an orthopedic specialist again, who may recommend physical therapy, bracing, or pain management options to alleviate your symptoms and improve knee function
