[|Human|] Hi Doctor,  I am 40 years old, my weight 70 kgs and height 170 cms. I underwent an MRI scan for my left knee and have now been diagonised for meniscule tear and have been advised Arthroscopic menesectomy (surgery). Is there a natural treatment for this problem as I would like to avoid surgery.
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorI am sorry to hear that you have recently been diagnosed with a tear to the left Meniscus. A meniscus tear is a physical rip in the cartilage of the knee and your bodies full weight is turning on that cartilage. These type of tears do not heal spontaneously. You can reduce the pain by using anti-inflammatories and doing low impact exercise. Wearing of a knee brace may also help stabilize the knee, reduce pain and further injury to the meniscus. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with any of your questions.
