View allI hurt myself about three months ago, and my recent MRI shows I've got a grade 3 meniscal tear. I'm really concerned about whether or not this can heal without surgery. If I stick to proper physical therapy and medication, is there a chance it might recover on its own? I'm looking for some guidance here.
A grade 3 meniscal tear typically requires surgical intervention, but with proper physical therapy and medication, some patients may experience symptom relief and functional improvement without surgery; however, the tear itself may not fully heal on its own, and surgery, such as meniscectomy or meniscal repair, may still be necessary to prevent further damage, alleviate pain, and restore knee function; consult an orthopedic specialist to discuss the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

Can an MRI show if a tendon is completely torn or just damaged and is it possible to heal a damaged tendon without surgery
Yes, an MRI can differentiate between a completely torn (ruptured) tendon and a partially torn or damaged tendon. It can also help determine the extent of the tear and assess any associated injuries, like avulsion fractures. Many damaged tendons can heal without surgery, especially partial tears, through conservative treatment options like rest, bracing, physical therapy, and potentially injections

I've been told my L1L2 and L3L4 disc space is mildly reduced with early degenerative changes should I be worried about this getting worse as I get older? Could this turn into a serious issue down the line, and would I ever need surgery for it?
Mild disc space reduction may not progress quickly. Lifestyle changes, physio, and monitoring help. Surgery is only needed if symptoms worsen significantly.
