I'm dealing with a lingering pain in my left leg after lifting weights. The pain seems to radiate down to the middle dorsal side of my knee. I've been taking nervite and ultradase tablets, but the discomfort seems chronic now. What should I do next?
After weight lifting, you have developed chronic pain in your left leg, specifically on the middle dorsal side down to the knee. I recommend taking a combination of pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications. You can take a tablet of Aceclofenac 100mg along with Thiocolchicoside 4mg. This will help reduce the pain and inflammation in your leg. Additionally, I suggest applying a topical pain relief gel containing Diclofenac to the painful area. This will provide localized relief from the pain and discomfort. Make sure to rest your leg, elevate it when possible, and avoid any strenuous activities that may exacerbate the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I just found out I have a grade 2 ligament tear in my right knee can this heal on its own with rest and rehab or will I need ACL surgery to fix it properly
A grade 2 ligament tear in your knee, specifically the ACL, can often heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, and physical therapy, but surgery may be needed in some cases. The decision to operate depends on factors like the ligament involved, your activity level, and your overall health.
