my doctor suggested biovisc injections for my shoulder joint gap instead of surgery does this treatment actually work or should i consider other options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Biovisc injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections or viscosupplementation, can be a viable alternative to surgery for shoulder pain and joint gap, but they may not be a permanent solution. These injections work by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid, which can reduce pain and improve mobility, but they don't address the underlying cause of the joint gap.

View allI fractured a muscle in my right leg a few months ago and now Im seeing these dark lines on the nerves in my thigh. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a serious issue?
The dark lines on your nerves could be due to bruising or inflammation. It is important to monitor for any changes in sensation, color, or temperature in that area. To help with healing and reduce inflammation, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Make sure to rest your leg and elevate it when possible. If the dark lines persist or if you experience worsening symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I have a high grade sprain with a partial thickness tear in my ACL from playing cricket and I'm really not keen on surgery. The doctor recommended surgery first followed by physio but I'm wondering if ayurvedic treatment could help instead. Right now I'm doing physio exercises and my knee stability has improved a bit. Should I still consider surgery or is there a non-surgical route that could work for me?
It all depends whether you knee is stable or not. If unstable (knee wobbles in some positions) needs surgery. Otherwise no. All this other modalities of treatment are futile.

Mild carry angle deformities may improve with physio; surgery only for functional limitation or severe deformity.
