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.

my legs are crooked with knocked knees and i want to fix them naturally without surgery are there exercises or braces that can help straighten them over time

Mild cases may improve with physiotherapy and bracing. Severe deformities or persistent discomfort often require orthopedic evaluation for surgical correction.

I recently got an MRI for a knee injury from playing sports and it shows a partial ACL tear at the femoral attachment, along with some changes in the medial meniscus, bone contusion in the tibial condyle, and mild joint effusion. Will this heal on its own or do I need physiotherapy or even surgery? What's the best treatment plan for this kind of injury?

Partial ACL tears and meniscal changes often improve with physiotherapy‚Äîsurgery only if instability or pain persists.
