Question 1

How is meniscus tears diagnosed?

See a specialist if pain lasts more than a few weeks, disturbs sleep, causes swelling or instability, or limits your walking, stairs, work or sport.

Will this condition get worse if left untreated?

Accepted Answer

Many joint conditions progress with time, weight and activity. Early evaluation gives you the widest range of treatment options — including joint-preserving ones.

Weight optimisation, joint-friendly exercise (walking, swimming, cycling), strength training and avoiding high-impact overload are the foundations of long-term joint health.

Question 6

Do you offer a second opinion?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many patients come specifically for a second opinion before deciding on treatment. You'll receive a clear, unhurried view of surgical and non-surgical options.
