Lean forward while sitting down. Apply heat or ice to the affected area. Sit on a doughnut-shaped pillow or wedge (V-shaped) cushion. Take over-the-counter pain relievers

View allI'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.

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

Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?
