I'm a 24-year-old male with bearable knee pain in both legs. I can walk and do daily activities, but climbing stairs or standing for long periods causes pain. My MRI shows a meniscus tear in both knees should I consider surgery or try physiotherapy first? Would love your advice based on the MRI reports.

Given your bearable knee pain and limitations with activities like stair climbing, and the MRI showing meniscus tears in both knees, physiotherapy should be the first line of treatment. Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments like physiotherapy and pain management fail to provide adequate relief or if the tear is severe and causing significant instability.

I had surgery on my humerus about 4 months back and just got an x-ray done yesterday. Can you check if there's any improvement and let me know if it's safe for me to ride a bike now? I've attached the x-ray for reference.

Can a partial ACL tear heal on its own without surgery and how long does it usually take for the knee to feel normal again
Yes, a partial ACL tear can potentially heal on its own without surgery, especially for less active individuals. However, the recovery time can vary, typically ranging from 3 to 6 months for those without surgery. The focus of treatment is on reducing inflammation, improving knee stability, and gradually increasing mobility through physical therapy
