A traumatic event such as a car accident, fall, or a sudden twisting motion can lead to SI joint pain. Like other injuries to the body, this may heal on its own over time. However, if the pain persists for longer than three months, then it may be time to seek treatment.

I have a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus do I really need surgery for this or can it heal with just meds and physio

A horizontal tear in the posterior horn of your medial meniscus may or may not require surgery, depending on the size and location of the tear. Small tears in the "red-red" or "red-white" zones (with blood supply for healing) may heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and pain medication. Larger tears or those in the "white zone" (no blood supply) are less likely to heal on their own and may require surgery.
