Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Causes meniscus tear are:

1. Injury
2. Blunt trauma
3. Sprain or strain
4. Runner's knee
5. Improper posture

You can take tab. aceclofenac. Apply diclofenac gel or cream. Apply ice locally. Do x-ray and MRI back and hip region. Consult your physician for prescription.

SURGERY is the best option for complete recovery. Treatment mainly depends upon underlying conditions. Kindly follow with detailed history or consult with orthopedician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
