Homeopathy may relieve symptoms of a meniscus tear, but healing large tears often requires surgery. Physiotherapy is also beneficial.

I have a partial ACL tear from running and playing football and cricket. My MRI shows a partial tear at the femoral attachment of the ACL, some changes in the medial meniscus, bone bruising in the tibial condyles, and mild joint swelling with a popliteus muscle injury. Can physiotherapy help heal this without surgery or is surgery my only option

Partial ACL tears with meniscus and muscle injury can often be managed with physiotherapy; surgery is reserved if instability or pain persists.

my mom is only 56 but her doctor recommended knee replacement surgery - seems too young for that is there any medicine or treatment to improve her knee lubrication and synovial fluid instead

Knee replacement at 56 is not uncommon if pain is severe. Cartilage injections and physiotherapy may help delay surgery in early stages.
