MRI shows a high grade partial tear of the MPFL how do I know if it's grade 2 or 3? Will this heal on its own or do I need surgery?

View allI've been struggling with severe joint pain for years and can barely walk anymore. I've tried ayurveda, homeopathy, and allopathy treatments but nothing's worked. Is knee replacement surgery my only option left or are there other treatments I should explore first?
While knee replacement surgery may be a solution for severe joint pain, it's not always the first or only option. There are several other treatments and approaches to explore, including lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and other minimally invasive procedures

I broke my pinky toe about 6 weeks ago, and while the bone did fuse back a bit, it was only half fused, causing me to walk awkwardly. The doctor said it was a malunion, and I had surgery two days ago to fix it with a K wire in my toe. The pain was really bad the first day but now it only hurts a little if I move my foot left or right. The doctor recommended taking a week off to rest and then start walking again. How long does it usually take for a fracture with a K wire to heal properly? Will walking with the K wire be painful or lead to any complications? I'm just looking for some advice on what to expect.

I'm really confused about whether to go for ACL arthroscopic surgery or if PRP treatment would work better for my knee. How effective is PRP for knee issues and what's the average cost per injection in India? Need some advice on which option might be better for me.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is often considered as a non-surgical alternative for certain knee conditions. It's important to note that the effectiveness of PRP versus surgery depends on various factors, including the severity of the knee issue and individual patient characteristics PRP treatment for an ACL tear can vary in cost, but in India, expect to pay between ‚Çπ5,000 and ‚Çπ20,000 per session, with some clinics offering packages that include multiple sessions. The total cost will depend on the severity of the tear, the number of sessions needed, and the specific clinic
