I fell at work tore my meniscus a few days later I am walking on it with a limp do I still need surgery or is there a better way ?

Such circumstances which can affect our health (e.g. physical injuries) may cause concern or worry for us, because we might tend to think of the worst-case scenarios—in this case, needing surgery. First of all, remember to TAKE A BREATH and think of a positive aspect of this matter: for example, even though you have a limp, you can still walk. The injury has not impacted your ability to move around and get on with your day. Second, it is normal to have such thoughts in your mind of whether an surgery is required or more efficient ways to treat your meniscus. However, do not let them lead to panic (which can affect you on an emotional and psychological level, by causing too much stress) or prevent you from getting help, which leads to my next point. Thirdly, if you still feel worried about this leg injury, contact your physician as soon as possible. Book an appointment, attend, explain the accident at work which led to the injury, express your concerns for any surgical requirements. Consequently, you'll get professional guidance, which can calm you down (even in the slightest way) and even lead to a necessary referral. Plus, it is vital to make it clear to yourself that not all injuries like this require you to lay on a surgeon's operating table! But even IF it does, you would be in safe hands from people who will facilitate in the improvement and recovery of your health. Good luck, get well soon, and take care :)

I‘m sorry to hear about your health issue, and that it is still prevailing. Identifying the right solution for something we are not an expert on and where outcomes are uncertain can be frustrating. Have you asked your doctor for an explanation of the risks and benefits of surgery, asked them to explain anything that was unclear to you, and asked for information regarding viable alternatives, as well as their recommendation? While experts can make recommendations on any decisions you are facing, the decisions will remain with you, having digested the available information, as only you will know what is the right path for you.
