My shoulder keeps dislocating over and over and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I consider surgery or are there other treatments that might help stop this from happening? It's getting really frustrating and painful.

If your shoulder keeps dislocating, you should consult with a doctor or orthopedic surgeon to discuss treatment options, which may include surgery. Non-surgical treatments, such as physical therapy and immobilization, are often tried first, but surgery may be necessary for recurrent dislocations or if the soft tissues stabilizing the shoulder are severely damaged

I injured my leg during a trek back in January and the pain kept coming and going. By September, it was still bothering me so I saw a doctor who recommended an MRI. The 1.5T MRI showed a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Is there any way to avoid surgery for this?
Yes, it's possible to avoid surgery for a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Non-surgical treatments are often the first approach for these types of injuries, and they can be very effective.
