My left ACL tore completely three years ago and I've been managing without surgery so far. Is it okay to keep postponing the surgery or should I get it done right away? I'm worried about long-term damage if I wait too long

Delaying ACL repair may cause joint damage—get MRI and orthopedic opinion if knee gives way often.

View allI had ACL surgery 3 months ago but still feel shaky on the MCL side when walking - my doctor says it's common after surgery but I'm worried. Are there any effective Ayurvedic treatments to strengthen the ligaments and improve stability?
While your doctor's assessment of feeling "shaky" after ACL surgery is valid, it's crucial to address any lingering concerns. Ayurvedic approaches can be beneficial for strengthening ligaments and promoting stability, but it's essential to consult with your doctor and a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating these treatments. Ayurveda focuses on balancing body energies and promoting healing, and specific remedies and practices can be tailored to your individual needs

I have myositis ossificans in my left elbow and I'm really worried about the treatment options. Is surgery the only way to treat this or are there other alternatives? Also, can you recommend a good elbow surgeon in Bangalore who specializes in this condition?
Myositis ossificans is often managed conservatively, with surgery reserved for severe cases that don't respond to other treatments. Conservative treatment typically includes rest, ice, elevation, activity modification, pain relief medications, and physical therapy. Surgery may be considered if the bony growth is causing significant pain, limitations in range of motion, or nerve compression

my mom is only 56 but her doctor recommended knee replacement surgery - seems too young for that is there any medicine or treatment to improve her knee lubrication and synovial fluid instead
Knee replacement at 56 is not uncommon if pain is severe. Cartilage injections and physiotherapy may help delay surgery in early stages.
