I've had knee pain for about 15 days and just got my MRI results. Can you help me understand if surgery is needed? I'm really worried about what the report says and what my options are.

I'm really worried about my MRI results showing a chronic partial ACL tear and this buckling happening at the back. It also mentions a small chronic grade 3 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the inferior meniscal surface. What should I be doing about this? Does this mean surgery is unavoidable, or are there other treatment options I should consider first? I'm just anxious about what this all means for my mobility and day-to-day activities.

My mom had knee surgery for a fracture and she has hypothyroidism but we didn't get her thyroid levels checked before the surgery was that really necessary or could it affect her recovery
Uncontrolled hypothyroidism can impact surgical recovery—thyroid function should ideally be checked pre-op.
