My MRI report shows mild knee joint effusion with a grade 2 ACL tear and MCL sprain but normal PCL and meniscus. The joint space looks okay with no loose bodies. Can this heal with just physio or will I need surgery? Really worried and want to get better fast
A Grade 2 ACL tear and MCL sprain, along with mild knee joint effusion, can often heal with physical therapy, but some cases might require surgery. The decision depends on factors like your age, activity level, and the stability of your knee. A combination of rest, bracing, and physical therapy is a common initial approach for these types of injuries.

My shoulder keeps dislocating over and over and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I consider surgery or are there other treatments that might help stop this from happening? It's getting really frustrating and painful.
If your shoulder keeps dislocating, you should consult with a doctor or orthopedic surgeon to discuss treatment options, which may include surgery. Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and immobilization, are often tried first, but surgery may be necessary for recurrent dislocations or if the soft tissues stabilizing the shoulder are severely damaged
