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?
