View allI have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?
A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.

My MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL femoral attachment with some axis changes, plus a grade 2 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the capsular surface. I've got pain, swelling, popping sounds, and can't walk properly. Do I need surgery for this, or can it heal on its own? What are my options for recovery?
A partial ACL tear with axis changes and a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, especially with pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, likely requires a combination of conservative and potentially surgical treatment. While some ACL tears can heal with conservative management, the meniscus tear and the severity of your symptoms suggest a surgical approach might be necessary. It's crucial to consult with an orthopedic specialist for a personalized treatment plan.

Can knock knees be corrected naturally at age 28 or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about long-term effects if left untreated and wondering if exercises or braces might help
Sometimes, if knock knees cause problems such as pain or difficulty walking, you may be referred to a specialist for tests to see what might be causing it. Rarely, surgery to straighten the knees and legs may be recommended.
