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.

There's a well-known ayurvedic doctor who gives her a lape to apply on and below the knee along with some oil. Can an ACL tear actually heal with ayurveda or is surgery the only real option?
Conservative tt for ACL tear for 1st and 2nd degree. Surgery is advised for 3rd degree rear.Ortho opinion is advised .

My mom is 63 and has been having knee pain lately. She's using Himalaya joint pain oil which helps a bit but she's scared to see a doctor in case they recommend surgery. Should we keep using the oil or is it better to get her checked out?
It's important for your mother to see a doctor about her knee pain, even if it's just for a bit of relief with the Himalaya oil. While the oil may offer temporary relief, it's not a long-term solution and a doctor can help determine the cause and recommend the best course of treatment, which may not always involve surgery.
