I had leg surgery twice but still have a lot of pain. Most doctors say my leg is very weak is there any chance to fix it or improve the condition?

I 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.

The report says the pedicles, interpedicular distances, spinous and transverse processes are normal, and the intervertebral disc spaces aren't reduced. Can you help me understand if this is something I should be worried about?

Can grade 1 anterolisthesis at L4-L5 with a disc bulge heal naturally without surgery, or is surgery the only option? Will proper exercises and less strenuous activities help the vertebrae return to their original position, or will it eventually progress to higher grades and require surgery later?
