I have a torn meniscus diagnosed july. had a cortisone shot. not helping. hurting daily when i walk and even when im laying down. no insurance. what are the best home treatments i should do to stop the constant pain? im 62-& 75 lbs overweight?

torn from accident or without accident? all things will heal (I had it at 69yo and it healed) but your weight make it doubtful to heal adequately for good function and painless activity. do you have also high blood pressure or diabetes? lack of activity at your age and all illnesses altogether put your longevity at severe risk. Please go veggies like me as I had very high cholesterol + high sugar
