I've had an ACL tear in my left knee for about 2.5 months now, and the pain has reduced by 70%. It only comes back when I walk long distances. What kind of tear is this, and do I need surgery? Can I wait it out or should I consider other options? Also, what exactly is an interstitial tear can it heal with PRP injections, and how successful are they usually?

I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

Severe knee pain from cartilage loss may be managed temporarily with injections (hyaluronic acid,PRP) and physiotherapy,but TKR is the only long‚Äëterm solution.

I had Achilles tendon repair surgery six weeks ago and just got my cast removed last week. My ankle feels really stiff so the doctor recommended some ankle motion exercises, but I've noticed swelling in my foot. Is this normal after cast removal? What can I do to help reduce the swelling?
Yes, swelling in your foot after cast removal is a common occurrence, especially after an Achilles tendon repair surgery, and it's normal to experience some stiffness and swelling after a cast is removed. The stiffness is likely due to inactivity during the cast period, and the swelling is from the release of pressure on the tissues. To help reduce the swelling, focus on elevation, ice, and consider compression socks, as well as following your doctor's recommendations for exercises and medication.

I recently had an accident on June 23rd, and they put a plaster on my injury that same day. I'm trying to figure out how many days of bed rest I might need before I can start going back to the office. Can you give me some guidance on when it might be safe to return to work?
Bed rest is advised for 6 weeks to the patient.
