Conservative treatment of first-degree meniscus injuries

Grade I meniscus injuries are the mildest injuries and can be treated conservatively. Specific conservative treatment methods include drug therapy, physical factor therapy and exercise therapy.
1. Medication: You can consider taking medication that nourishes articular cartilage, such as glucosamine sulfate, which can promote cartilage recovery.
2. Physical factor therapy: if accompanied by knee pain and swelling symptoms, you can be treated by ultra-short wave combined with magnetic heat therapy and intermediate frequency electrical stimulation, which can achieve the effect of pain relief and swelling.
3. Exercise therapy: after the symptoms of injury are relieved, it is necessary to combine with exercise therapy to restore the strength of the muscles around the knee joint, improve the range of motion of the knee joint, and prevent the sequelae of motor dysfunction.
If there is obvious pain and swelling in the knee joint, it cannot be ruled out that it is related to meniscus injury, and you need to go to the orthopedic department as soon as possible for treatment. Before the symptoms are relieved, do not go down to weight-bearing exercise too early to avoid aggravation of symptoms.
