Question

Got diagnosed with a meniscus tear after an MRI and the doctor recommended surgery. I'm a bit nervous about going under the knife are there any other treatment options that could help heal it without surgery? I've been told I need surgery for my meniscus tear based on the MRI results. Is there any way to manage this without surgery, like physical therapy or injections? MRI showed a meniscus tear and surgery was suggested. I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible what alternatives are out there that might work? Just found out I have a meniscus tear and the doc says surgery is the way to go. Are there non-surgical treatments that could fix this or at least ease the pain? Meniscus tear confirmed by MRI and surgery is the recommendation. Wondering if rest, meds, or exercises could help instead of going straight to surgery?

i broke my arm and the x-ray shows a fracture but im not sure if it needs surgery or can it heal on its own with just a cast or natural treatments

Question

It's been 4 months and 25 days since my distal femur comminuted fracture surgery, which I heard is one of the most complicated cases. My knee still won't bend properly and I'm worried - is the fixation not healing right anatomically? Could this mean I might need another surgery or is there another reason for my limited movement?

Question

I've had worsening knee pain for 5 years and X-rays show my cartilage is worn out on both sides. Physiotherapy didn't help much and my ortho doc recommends total knee replacement. Right now I'm trying Ayurvedic Sandhi Suddha oil and New Zealand mussels - are there any other options besides surgery that could work for me
