Hey Ray,
I got a MRI and it turns out I torn my lateral meniscus, waited 2-3 months after injury to get it checked out. I injured it squatting, does this tear heal or is surgery needed like they told me?
Mostly hurts when running or going into a squat position.
Depending on the severity of the tear, surgery is NOT always necessary.
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation - along with a good solid knee brace, combined with routine physical therapy, will usually fix the problem without surgical intervention.
