With a complex medial meniscus tear, treatment options depend on the severity, location, and symptoms. Non-surgical options like RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), physical therapy, and pain management may be tried first. If these don't relieve symptoms or if the tear is large or causing instability, surgery (like arthroscopic repair or partial meniscectomy) may be necessary.

Question

MRI scan shows a high-grade partial ACL tear in my left knee and some meniscus issues. The doctor is recommending arthroscopic surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary. There's also a mild strain in the PCL and tears in the lateral meniscus. The medial meniscus looks thinned out too. Do I really need the operation or are there other options?

I've been having some moderate pain in my tennis elbow area, and I'm starting to wonder if there's any way this could be related to excessive masturbation. Could that be causing it or making it worse? I'm really curious about how these things could be connected.
