What types of treatments are available for a torn lateral meniscus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well best: To ask your ortho guy. You can do nothing you can try a cortison injection which has the risk of accelerated arthritis. So help now means more pain later possibly. You can try physicial therapy. You can have surgery if this all fails.
