A member asked:
What are the best ways to heal and what is the average healing time for damaged cartilage in knee?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: I do not know exactly what you mean by damage. Significant tears will not really heal and often require arthroscopic surgery. Some lesser issues will improve with anti-inflammatory meds, injections and physical therapy. You need to see an orthopedist for guidance.
