Question: Is surgery always neccessary for a meniscus tear!?
I am in my late twenties and pretty active( I also do not have a desk job)!. Is this the only option!? I don't know how large or the extent but generally speaking!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It depends on the extent of the tear!. Doctors will sometimes try physical therapy first (to help manage the pain and swelling)!. Some will try cortisone injection!. If these don't resolve the case, your doctor might order an MRI to find out the extent of the damage!. A good percent of the time, they'd do an arthroscopic procedure to fix the problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
