Medial meniscus
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.
