I've been dealing with this pain in my left hand that goes from my shoulder down to my palm for about three days now. Sometimes my palm swells up too. Is this something I should be worried about or is it likely just a strain? What could be causing this and what should I do?

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.
