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.

My knee makes a clicking sound when I walk and I can't squat or sit cross-legged without really bad pain. What could be causing this and what treatments or meds might help? Should I consider surgery if it doesn't get better?

Knee clicking and pain when squatting or sitting cross-legged could be due to several issues, including meniscus tears, osteoarthritis, or patellofemoral syndrome. Treatment may involve physical therapy, pain relievers, or, in some cases, surgery. If pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by swelling or instability, it's crucial to consult with a doctor or orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment
