My MRI shows a complete ACL tear in the proximal part from a football injury and the doctor recommended surgery. Are there any non-surgical options to treat this or will I eventually need the operation?

I've been dealing with a hard lump on my right shin for a couple of months now. It's about an inch in diameter, really firm but not painful. I play soccer every day, so I'm wondering if it's just a bruise or something more serious. Should I be worried?

The hard, painless lump on your shin, present for a couple of months, could be a benign bone growth, such as an osteochondroma or a bone spur, possibly related to repetitive trauma or bruises from playing soccer; however, to rule out other potential causes, like a stress fracture, soft tissue tumor, or infection, consult an orthopedic doctor or a sports medicine specialist for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, X-rays, or an MRI, to determine the cause and appropriate management.
