I injured my leg during a trek back in January and the pain kept coming and going. By September, it was still bothering me so I saw a doctor who recommended an MRI. The 1.5T MRI showed a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Is there any way to avoid surgery for this?

Yes, it's possible to avoid surgery for a partial ligament and meniscus tear. Non-surgical treatments are often the first approach for these types of injuries, and they can be very effective.

My doc recommended surgery for my condition but I'm wondering if meds and rest could work instead. The MRI shows the issue but I'm hesitant about going under the knife is there a non-surgical option that might help?

yes surgery is advised.

I've been building homes recently and started feeling a burning sensation in my inner left leg, like maybe I pulled a muscle. But now it's gotten worse and moved down past my knee. It's super painful when I walk or move, and the area is all red wherever there's pain. It's been like this for a week. Any idea what's going on with my leg?
