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've been having looseness and instability in my knee with some pressure, and when I stand on one leg and bend the other knee, I hear a mild obstructive sound. My MRI showed subtle signal changes in the ACL and a bit of fluid in the patellofemoral joint space. Can this be fully treated with physio, or would arthroscopic surgery work better? What's the most effective solution for this?

I've had an ACL injury that doesn't seem to be healing properly - my knee still makes popping sounds and hurts when I try to move it. I can't bend my knee all the way or climb stairs without pain. Should I consider surgery for this?

I hurt myself about three months ago, and my recent MRI shows I've got a grade 3 meniscal tear. I'm really concerned about whether or not this can heal without surgery. If I stick to proper physical therapy and medication, is there a chance it might recover on its own? I'm looking for some guidance here.
A grade 3 meniscal tear typically requires surgical intervention, but with proper physical therapy and medication, some patients may experience symptom relief and functional improvement without surgery; however, the tear itself may not fully heal on its own, and surgery, such as meniscectomy or meniscal repair, may still be necessary to prevent further damage, alleviate pain, and restore knee function; consult an orthopedic specialist to discuss the best course of treatment for your specific condition.
