Question

I've had mallet finger for the past 11 years and I'm finally considering surgery to fix it. Can you recommend a good hospital or specialist for this procedure? I'm not sure where to start looking for the right doctor to consult about this long-term issue. What should I expect from the surgical process after having the condition for so many years?

Question

I have a high grade sprain with a partial thickness tear in my ACL from playing cricket and I'm really not keen on surgery. The doctor recommended surgery first followed by physio but I'm wondering if ayurvedic treatment could help instead. Right now I'm doing physio exercises and my knee stability has improved a bit. Should I still consider surgery or is there a non-surgical route that could work for me?

Question

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

Question

I've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.
