I have a torn meniscus, how can i reduce the pain and improve my wellbeing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an Orthopedic MD: Treatment of meniscus tears depends on tear size and location. Treatment options are non operative measures such as physical therapy to surgical options such as knee arthroscopy. Its best to see a sports medicine specialist to have it worked up and treated appropriately.
