What's the best way to treat this condition and how long does recovery usually take Is surgery the only option or can it be delayed for a while

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'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.
