I have torn my inner left calf muscle, I have not received any therapy. What can I do for home therapy? I have torn it 9 days ago and I still can not stand flat footed I have to keep my toe pointed and limp every where or rely on my crutches. I have a vacation coming up in 2 weeks which requires lots of walking, Will I be close to normal by then?
meniscus tears can either be treated surgically or non surgically. the main reason you would get the meniscus treated surgically is if you were experiencing a lot of instability. i’m not completely sure what the non surgical treatment entails, it might include some physical therapy or it could just be to monitor and proceed as usual.
