My MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL femoral attachment with some axis changes, plus a grade 2 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the capsular surface. I've got pain, swelling, popping sounds, and can't walk properly. Do I need surgery for this, or can it heal on its own? What are my options for recovery?

A partial ACL tear with axis changes and a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, especially with pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, likely requires a combination of conservative and potentially surgical treatment. While some ACL tears can heal with conservative management, the meniscus tear and the severity of your symptoms suggest a surgical approach might be necessary. It's crucial to consult with an orthopedic specialist for a personalized treatment plan.

How long does it usually take for a tibia-shin bone fracture near the ankle to heal? And when might I be able to start walking again? Also, what should I expect regarding a full recovery?
The healing time for a tibiashin bone fracture can vary depending on the severity of the fracture. In general, it can take around 6 to 8 weeks for the fracture to heal. However, it may take longer for full recovery, which can range from several months to a year. After the initial healing period, a person may be able to start walking with the help of crutches or a walking boot. It is important to follow your doctor's advice on when it is safe to start walking again to avoid any complications. Physical therapy may also be recommended to help regain strength and mobility in the affected leg.

I'm having this neck pain for the last couple of days, and it feels like my neck is kind of locked up, maybe like suluku or something. Could you recommend any ointments or balms that might help with this issue?
Feeling a heavy head, especially after eating, can be uncomfortable. Given your blood pressure (BP) reading of 15090 mmHg, it's essential to address both concerns. However, I must emphasize that medication should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. _Possible Causes of Heavy Head_ 1. _High Blood Pressure_: Uncontrolled high BP can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness in the head. 2. _Digestive Issues_: Eating certain foods can trigger digestive issues, leading to a heavy head feeling. 3. _Dehydration_: Inadequate hydration can cause headaches and a feeling of heaviness. _Lifestyle Changes_ 1. _Monitor and manage BP_: Work with your doctor to control your BP through lifestyle changes and medication. 2. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration. 3. _Eat smaller, frequent meals_: Avoid heavy meals that can exacerbate digestive issues. 4. _Avoid trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that trigger digestive issues or headaches. _Medication (only under medical guidance)_ 1. _BP medication_: Your doctor may prescribe medication to help control your BP. 2. _Pain relief medication_: Over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen may be recommended for headaches.
