View allI've been dealing with a concern that's been bothering me for a while. When I was around 12, I started dry humping on the bed, and this went on until I was about 16. Now, I'm 24 and I've noticed my thighs and legs look thin and kind of deformed. Could there be any connection to my past habits, or is there another reason they appear this way?
_Possible Reasons for Thigh Changes_ 1. *Muscle Imbalance*: Repeated dry humping might have led to overdevelopment of certain muscle groups, causing an imbalance. 2. *Poor Posture*: Frequent pressure on your thighs and legs might have affected your posture, leading to uneven muscle development. 3. *Genetic Factors*: Natural growth patterns and genetic predispositions can influence body shape and muscle distribution.

I'm dealing with a complete ACL tear according to my MRI. I'm really hoping to explore alternatives to surgery. Is there anything else out there that can help fix my ligaments? My MRI report is included.
Non-surgical options for ACL tears include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve stability, as well as the use of a knee brace for support. However, it is important to note that these methods may not fully restore the stability of the knee like surgery would. Additionally, certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with the injury.
