The best way to treat a medical condition and the timeline for recovery vary greatly depending on the specific condition and its severity. While surgery may be an option, it's often not the first or only choice, and it can sometimes be delayed. Recovery time can range from a few days to several months or even longer, depending on the procedure and individual factors.

I've been having meniscus pain and the doctor suggested keyhole surgery but I'm not sure I want to go through with it. Are there other options to manage the pain or heal without surgery? What would you recommend trying first?

Yes, there are alternative options to manage meniscus pain and potentially heal without surgery. Initially, try the RICE method (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) and over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs. Physical therapy can also help improve range of motion and strength. If these conservative treatments don't provide enough relief, discuss options like steroid injections or a more intensive physical therapy program with your doctor
