Torn meniscus ! URGENT
simple rest with activity modification, ice, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs
I'd say tramadol for the pain. I've previously torn my cartialage and ruptured my ACL and these little buties did the trick for me. Hope he's feeling better soon
Maybe try some over the counter pain relievers, but if that doesn't help, consider going to a doctor here in the states. Be prepared for your visit, bring any old prescriptions of what you were taking and are out of, some of the walk in doctors are reluctant to prescribe pain meds for anyone anymore. Thanks to all the abuse, now those that really need it find it very hard to get. Simply talk walk and Lord willing you will find relief. Blessings,
