My MRI shows a complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon at its insertion with 0.8cm retraction. I'm a 45-year-old woman can this heal with physiotherapy or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about recovery and what's best for my shoulder.

Only tear is not important. Even restriction of movts is imp. Y poo it tear has been there since how long and other things. Many pts even with complete tear don't need surgery. They do well with physio

View allI have a meniscus extrusion in my right knee and a small area of full-thickness cartilage loss measuring 9x7 mm. I'm only 25 if I get surgery now, will I still be able to walk normally by the time I'm 40?
Yes, if you address the meniscus extrusion and cartilage loss with appropriate treatment, including surgery if necessary, you can likely maintain normal walking and other activities by the time you are 40. Early intervention and a focused rehabilitation program are key to maximizing your long-term knee health

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.
