My MRI showed ligament damage but I'm not sure if surgery is the only option. Are there other treatments I could try first or is surgery really necessary in my case? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife if there are alternatives that might work.

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've had knee pain for about a year now and just got my MRI results. It shows a Grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, minimal joint effusion, and a Baker's cyst measuring 1.8x1.5x2.9 cm. Is surgery necessary or can proper exercises help heal this?
It's unlikely that surgery is immediately necessary for your knee pain, given the MRI findings. While the Grade 2 meniscus tear, minimal effusion, and Baker's cyst are potential sources of pain, conservative treatments like physical therapy and pain management are often effective, especially with these findings. Surgery is generally considered when conservative treatments fail or if the tear is severe and causing significant functional limitations.

I've been dealing with some pretty uncomfortable pain in my right hip for the past few days, especially when I sit down. The pain starts at the top and runs all the way down my leg. It's even tough sitting when I need to go to the bathroom. Now the pain seems to be moving to the front, around my pelvic area. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
The pain in your right hip, radiating down to the leg and pelvic area, especially when sitting, could be indicative of sciatica, piriformis syndrome, or a herniated disc; consult an orthopedic specialist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and consider applying ice, stretching, and over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate symptoms in the meantime.
