  3. Medial meniscus. The approximate cost?

Medial meniscus

2025-01-23 14:46:11
I had a grade 2 tear in the medial meniscus cartilage. Can it heal on its own, or will I need surgery? I am weak, weighing only 45 kg at the age of 19, with a height of 5'8". I want to start running and be physically active again. What will happen if I choose not to undergo surgery? How will my life be in my 40s or 50s? Also, I have noticed a 1.5-inch difference in the size of my thighs. What can I do to improve this? If surgery is necessary, what would be the approximate cost?

Hey there I can understand this must be psychologically affecting you. Calm down dear. First about surgery - if it is done by a an expert ortho surgeon recovery rate is good in patients. Second - heal by own- a physiotherapist has to check your range of motion and stability, then only we can get to know what will be plan of action Third - life at 40s 50s- medical technology has advanced a lot. So you need not worry about this. Maintain  a healthy body weight. Strengthen your muscles. Exercise regularly. Wishing you a happy and early recovery. Consult me to know more about it! Regards Your physio
