Health Query

I have a meniscus tear of my knee. Is there any cure to this or any remedy other than operation as my knee gets blocked and is very painful.

3 Doctors Answered
Most meniscal tears do not heal without intervention. If conservative treatment does not allow to resume desired activities or a sport, surgical treatment is considered. Surgical treatment of symptomatic meniscal tears is recommended because untreated tears may increase in size and may abrade articular cartilage, resulting in arthritis. Best wishes.

Hi. First opt for some conservative treatment if it doesn't help then surgery is needed. It also matter that hw severely your meniscus is teared. Regards!

A torn meniscus is like a loose body in the knee. So ideally it should be either fixed or taken out. It's a short procedure and I can assure you that usually you can start walking after 1-2 days of its taken out. If it is repaired/stitched then it takes a long time for recovery. I would suggest you don't waste time and get it done as every time your knee gets locked it causes damage to your knee cartilage.
