My MRI showed a partial ACL tear in my left knee and it's been about a year now. My doctor recommended physio over surgery but I'm not seeing much improvement. Should I keep pushing with physio or consider other options? Also, some doctors say to ice it while others say heat what's the best approach for pain and recovery?

I've had lower back pain and pain down the back of one leg for the last 3 months. My MRI shows L5-S1 has a partial disc desiccation with a broad-based posterocentral disc protrusion pressing on both neural foramina, indenting the thecal sac and touching the S1 nerve roots. L4-L5 also has partial disc desiccation and a diffuse posterior bulge indenting the thecal sac but no major nerve compression. What are the non-surgical treatment options for this I've lost a lot of weight and now have bad posture could that be making my back pain worse How can I fix both the posture and the back and leg pain
