If you are young, I advise you not to have an operation. Meniscus signal 1 and 2 do not need surgery. It mainly depends on how long you are injured and the flexion and extension of your right joint. If the flexion and extension can reach within 90 degrees, then you need surgery to rule out the first possibility. In addition, what is your walking condition, is there a lasso, and is it frequent? Lasso means that you suddenly stagnate or get stuck. If there is no lasso, or if you walk for months or even years, you don't need surgery. Generally, surgery is considered only when meniscus injury is above grade 3, and 1 grade or grade 2 belongs to the scope of conservative treatment. In addition, don't look at how safe arthroscopy is online. How to avoid future troubles? Remember a word, as long as you have a knife, you will have a wound, and your own wound is already a wound. If surgery is not needed, it will increase the trauma of the operation.
Fifth, if it is an acute injury, you should pay attention to rest, keep your knees warm, wear knee pads or something, and pay attention to hot compress with a towel before going to bed at night to avoid heavy load and strenuous exercise. If you have difficulty squatting, don't force yourself to squat, because forcing yourself to squat will aggravate the symptoms. When squatting, the weight of the legs is 3 to 6 times that of the original, so you can do physical therapy, such as wax therapy. These are for your ligaments and meniscus. If possible, western medicine can prescribe some nine-strength or vitamin strength, and Chinese medicine can find some ointment for external application to increase the effect of meridian passage and blood circulation of leg joints. If only the outermost meniscus injury can be recovered, these are all aimed at osteoarthritis. By the way, if you are young, you are likely to recover, but recovery does not mean that you will not relapse in the future, but don't be afraid. Pay more attention to what I said above about 3 months after the injury. It will be chronic in three months. If it doesn't get worse, it's good to pay attention later. The point is that I don't know if your meniscus is torn or damaged in the joint cavity. If there is no lasso, the damage can be basically ruled out.
I wrote this to you from my personal experience. At that time, the posterior horn of the medial meniscus of the left knee joint was injured and stuck only once every few months. But I followed the advice of Dr. R, the dog, and had the operation. Who knows that this doctor is a super rookie, just to make money, I lost my life, and now my bones are worn out, hehe. Your doctor is still fully responsible for you and didn't send you to the operating table for money.
Finally, I will send you some pictures to let you know the structure of the knee joint.
