Knee Pain Grade I Meniscus Tear Recovery

I am a 35 year old woman from Bangalore (5 Feet 6 Inch Height, 74 Kg Weight). I was having knee pain for maybe close to 18 months. The pain was not constant, kind of intermittent. I actually wear heels 4-5 days a week, heels with 3-4 inch heel. I got MRI done of both knees post doctor's advise. Key findings:  Right Knee-“Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus. Left Knee-Grade I horizontal tear of posterior horn of medial and lateral menisci. Reviewing the MRI reports, my doctor advised me to start physiotherapy focused on Quadriceps & VMO strengthening exercises. I have begun the exercises, and it has been about 2 weeks so far. The pain is there, sometimes more. Wanted opinion on:  1. How long does it typically take for this condition to improve and for the pain to go away? 2. Is it fully curable?  3. Will I be able to wear high heels (3–4 inches) occasionally in future, perhaps 3–4 days a week for about 2–3 hours a day? Please guide the best. Thank you

Body parts problem.

Suddenly, my right hand feels numb and weak. I am also experiencing a mild pain in my right hand. Some time ago, I sustained an injury to my left knee, and that old injury has flared up again. I am finding it difficult to climb up to elevated places. I am very poor; I would be deeply grateful if someone could offer me some assistance.

Shoulder pain and mild upper back pain

I have had pain in the right shoulder area for the last four months. Consulted multiple doctors and physios but the problem remains the same. Doing range of motion exercises alone as more exercises only seem to increase pain. Want to know if this condition generally takes time to get better. 1. Heaviness felt in the shoulder after waking up. 2. Some pain in the biceps now and then. 3. Mild electric wave sort of feeling now and then in upper back. Have done UsT and IFT intermittently for ten sittings. Attaching my MRI. Tablet Etoshine MR was prescribed by doctors but I have not had the course as it didnt sit well with my stomach. What exactly is going to help me feel better soon ? Pls advise.
