Question

MRI showed a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus. How bad is this kind of tear and is there any chance it can heal without surgery? I'm really worried about what this means for my knee long-term

Question

I've been having some problems with my right leg for the past two months. I had a bad fall down the stairs, and my whole body weight landed on that leg, causing it to twist. I initially took some medications, and it felt better for a while, but now the pain is back. It mostly shows up when I walk, right below the knee, and sometimes affects the back of my ankle and knee. Occasionally, it even moves to my calf or thigh muscles. I'm feeling like my leg is weaker and stiffer, and I can't exert full pressure, which is making walking pretty tough. I also tried physiotherapy for a week, but it didn't seem to offer much relief. What would you suggest I do now? Would love some advice!

Question

Can you suggest non-surgical treatment options for horizontal tears in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus and posterior horn of the medial meniscus? There's also a bit of joint effusion and I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible
