View allMy husband has been dealing with this really painful back issue for a year now. His MRI and X-ray show there's a gap between his L4 and L5 joints. He's been doing regular exercises and swimming, which helps sometimes, but the pain can still get really intense. We've seen doctors before, but we're desperate for a permanent solution. Any advice on what we can do?

I've been diagnosed with a low-grade partial ACL tear and I'm wondering if physiotherapy alone can help it heal without affecting my daily routine or sports. Is it safe to skip surgery, or will I run into problems later? I really don't want any future issues that could disrupt my life can I manage this without surgery and still live normally? What's the best option for me?
