When should I worry about upper back pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

View allI'm from Hyderabad and my MRI showed tears in my left knee medial and lateral meniscus plus an ACL issue. The report mentions an oblique tear in the medial meniscus, a grade II horizontal tear in the lateral meniscus, and a full-thickness ACL tear with some retraction. I've seen two ortho doctors one recommended arthroscopy for ACL and meniscus repair, while the other said only the meniscus needs surgery since I work in IT and have a sedentary lifestyle. Can these meniscus tears heal on their own with physio, or is surgery the only option? What's the best treatment for my case?
Prompt treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening and may improve your chances of a full recovery.Stretching physical therapy is advise.Also RICE treatment is advied to the patient(REST,ICE,COMPRESSION and ELEVATION).Surgery advised is arthroscopy and meniscectomy is the gold standard technique to the patient.

I've been dealing with a D12 compression fracture from an accident, and at first, the pain disappeared after about three months. But after a recent flight, I noticed some discomfort when the plane was landing. Now it's spreading to a few spots along with the original D12 area. Should I be thinking about going for another MRI or just stick to medication for now?
if the fracture is healed there will not be such problems in flight journey, it may be due back muscles strain because of long term sitting in upright posture, take hot or cold pack, if doesn't subside consult orthopedic surgeon

My mom had surgery 5 months ago and just started weight bearing as the doctor advised. Her recent x-ray shows one of the screws has moved slightly but the doctor said it shouldn't be an issue and told her to keep walking. Now she's feeling pain when she walks even though she hasn't really started walking properly yet. Is this normal?
Mild screw movement post-surgery is common but pain on walking suggests possible irritation—limit weight bearing and recheck X-ray or get second opinion.
