My sister recently finished physiotherapy and quad strengthening exercises, but she still struggles with a lot of knee pain due to chondromalacia. We've noticed it gets better with icing and rest, but it's tough since she really loves dancing and doesn't want to quit. Is it okay for her to try Zumba or aerobics, or would that just make things worse? Any advice would be really helpful.

View allI have a partial ACL tear from running and playing football and cricket. My MRI shows a partial tear at the femoral attachment of the ACL, some changes in the medial meniscus, bone bruising in the tibial condyles, and mild joint swelling with a popliteus muscle injury. Can physiotherapy help heal this without surgery or is surgery my only option
Partial ACL tears with meniscus and muscle injury can often be managed with physiotherapy; surgery is reserved if instability or pain persists.

I'm really concerned about what they found in my X-ray. It mentions something about bilateral sacralization of L5. The report says the pedicles, interpedicular distances, spinous and transverse processes are normal, and the intervertebral disc spaces aren't reduced. Can you help me understand if this is something I should be worried about?

I have a partial to near complete ACL ligament tear according to my MRI report do I really need surgery or are there other treatment options that could work for me? I'm worried about recovery time and whether I can avoid going under the knife.
if the MRI report says that you have a complete tear of the ACL. ACL is one of the stabilizers of the knee. Without the ACL, the knee will become unstable and the other parts of the knee will undergo more pressure/wear and tear. So it is important to get a surgery... especially at your young age. Had you been above 45-50 years of age, surgery may not have been compulsory. But right now, it is very essential to get it done. If you still don't want surgery, you will need to follow a few precautions to ensure that the knee does not undergo more wear and tear. These are: *Avoid sitting/sleeping on the floor. *Avoid using stairs as much as possible. Use a lift whenever you can. *Avoid using an Indian Toilet. Use a Western style toilet or a foldable toilet chair
