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?
Meniscal repair and reconstruction of the ligament to the bone by an orthopedic surgeon is recommended.

I was in an accident a couple weeks back and got some injuries on my elbow, forearm, and knee. Initially, my knee swelled up, not exactly where the injury was, but close by. All the injuries have healed now, but there's still swelling in that spot. I'm concerned whether it's just swelling or maybe some blood clotting. I couldn't bend my knee before, but now I can, although there's still some pain where the swelling is. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
It sounds like the swelling near your knee could be due to a soft tissue injury or internal bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal. Since you can now bend your knee, that's a positive sign, but the pain and swelling might take a little more time to subside. I recommend applying ice and elevating the knee, and if the pain persists or worsens, consider consulting a doctor for further evaluation and possible imaging.
