Home remedies for meniscus tear

Some simple measure will help resolve your pain and swelling at home itself.

• Rest is very important; as it helps in healing the meniscus muscle on its own, improving the blood supply to that area.
• Avoid any kind of strain and activities involving repetitive movements of the knee as far as possible.
  
  
  
• Wrap ice in a towel and apply for 10-15 minute every 2 hours to reduce swelling and pain.
• Rest your feet on a table while sitting, or put pillow below your foot and keep it in elevated position to decrease the swelling. 
  If the injury is too severe, then visit a specialist before it worsens.
