My husband has been dealing with shoulder pain for two years now because of gym exercises. The MRI shows a small partial thickness tear in the anterior fibers, no full-thickness tear or tendon retraction, and some fluid in the subacromial bursa along with acromioclavicular arthropathy. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?

Partial shoulder tears can often be managed conservatively with rehab—MRI review and ortho consult are advised.

I've been told I have mucoid degeneration of the ACL in my left knee can this be managed with just physiotherapy or will I eventually need surgery? I'm worried about long-term damage if I don't get the right treatment early on.
Mucoid degeneration of the ACL can often be managed initially with non-surgical treatments like physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in some cases, injections. However, if conservative measures fail or the condition progresses, surgery might be necessary, particularly if there is significant impingement or pain. Early intervention and adherence to a treatment plan are crucial to minimize long-term damage and prevent further complications.
