Knee injury
My father landed his foot inappropriately while coming down the stairs 4 months back. The pain was more initially but it gradually decreased with time but did not went off completely. Visited many doctors and some painkiller and calcium tab was prescribed everytime. Recently went for mri and observerd partial tear in meniscus both lateral and internal. Right now undergoing physitherapy and pain is minimal. Do i need to go for surgery in this case?
