How Can Recurrent Pain In Knees And Ankles Be Treated?

I have recurrent pain in knees and ankles. I am sprinter and 47 y/o. I hate to stop running but have been to Dr and believe I have stress fractures. Take low dose pain meds but wonder if I may need orthroscopic surgery on the R knee that s always sore. Then I may get back to sprinting I hope. Thank you

Dear Patient,
you fail to mention the condition of knee for which you are taking arthroscopic surgery, moreover stress fractures normally heal by themselves.
Thanks
