my 19 year old son just had keyhole surgery for a torn ligament and i'm wondering what ayurvedic medicines can help him recover faster

To naturally expedite ligament healing, focus on RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for the first few days, followed by a gradual return to activity with low-impact exercises and a balanced diet rich in nutrients

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.

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
