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?

View allI've been struggling with back pain for a while now. I went to an orthopedic doctor but didn't see any improvement. The pain is mostly in my lower back. I also tried physiotherapy, but that hasn't helped either. I'm really hoping for some advice or guidance on what to do next because it's been so frustrating. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

my mri shows a diffuse annular bulge at l5s1 with minimal thecal sac compression but i have severe back pain what are the non-surgical treatment options to completely recover from this is this condition serious and what exercises should i do to help
A diffuse annular bulge at L5-S1, even with minimal thecal sac compression, can cause severe back pain. Non-surgical treatments like physical therapy, pain medication, and lifestyle modifications are often the first line of management and can lead to significant recovery. This condition is not typically life-threatening but can be debilitating if left unmanaged.
