If you are wondering if your knee pain is a meniscus tear, here are 5 signs it may be kzbin.info/www/bejne/oITPgWeiarupo5o

[@Mdirrp]

Approx 2 month ago My right knee started to have pain when I put the left one on it with side sleeping , then started snapping or cracking sound , then developed pain that comes and goes multiple times in seconds around both sides ,and front side(where quad ends) , tender to put on pressure , feeling snapp sensation or tick sensation when going up to stairs , after few days the same steps gone to effect the left one , it developed same problems with the right one After one month I felt that when I am in sitting position on floor and my knees are bended , when I put my bended knee on floor , I felt like bones of knee are making contact or something like that (No pain associated) NB: No Trauma or injury related. Any Help please?

[@PinkPug3113]

I have a medial meniscus tear since 2021. I decided against surgery and for strength exercises instead. I have no more pain but I still avoid jumping!

[@robg5509]

How long did it take you to recover?

[@franc3sk1]

Can you bend your knees or sit in the deep knee bent position?

[@bad_janjez9511]

Same i avoided jumping but i had a surgery two weeks ago

[@PinkPug3113]

@@robg5509 it took about a year I would say. I can fully bend it without pain. I don’t squat deeper than 90 degrees and I don’t run if that is of importance for you.

I'm 50, I damaged mine. Rather than sit around. I got up walked, did stairs, and rode my bike. On good days I can do full running sprints like I did before the damage. While my knee is not going perfect. I'm just glad I kept moving.

Such a common injury. I have a meniscus tear and saw a doctor about it at Johns Hopkins/Baltimore. He said they don't recommend surgery for that anymore.

[@midgolf1569]

I was told that I would need it, but was wary and I’ve still been squatting and doing lunges with heavy weight. It’s the kneeling and if I chase my kid and ruin that hurts. It seems to only flare up sometimes does yours still hurt now and then?

I had meniscus surgery in late 2021 because my left knee kept locking. It took so long to recover almost a full year to feel normalcy. Recently I've been having pain in the same area trying to prevent any 2nd surgeries with this! Thank you.

[@annisaal-habsyi]

can you walk now? how long does it take?

[@jamesward9382]

I tore my meniscus in May 2021. Watched your video and did exercises you suggested prior to surgery and after surgery. Had surgery on June 24, 2021, I only had to take two pain pills, and I was good to go. I was Back mowing my lawn with push mower in 6 days after surgery, and back in gym, working on knee and legs in Aug. and been going ever since with no issues.

[@CHSN-1]

That sounds promising, I have surgery in 3 weeks 🤞

[@ladyaltovise2294]

YAYYYYY! My guys are at it! Happy to see you

[@ElizabethW62]

I recently had x-rays & an ultrasound done for my left medial meniscus. I'm waiting to hear from the doctor to confirm if it's a tear or something else. I have two questions: 1) how can stretching something that's torn/damaged be good for a meniscus? and 2) how could exercise not damage it further?Thank you. 🤗

[@shadowowner6485]

Thank you, I had a meniscus tear and I could feel it, move it, it was really painful. The surgeon asked me, does it hurt enough to do surgery? I said "yes please!". I had an arthroscopy three weeks ago, I still don't have full mobility, I have to walk with a limp, but I do feel it's because of pain and swelling from the surgery. When I bend and extend, I feel the movement is smooth, everything is okay and I don't feel any weird body like I used to. I hope to fully recover and continue strengthening my legs.

[@APL6526]

You two are my ABSOLUTE go to’s - Thank you fo ALL that you do! ❤️‍🔥

I have had a torn meniscus for a while and was ok for a bit but it is not getting better after 5 months and i can barely walk now so im just gonna bite the bullet and have surgery. I had the other knee dome snd it feels great and i had a quick recovery. Your videos help me so much. Thank you! I just want to be able to lift weights again and this is not letting me. 😕

[@BellahBoo]

How did your surgery go? Are you lifting again

So, strengthening/stretching exercises for tendons/ligaments/muscles to help stabilize the joint, right? How about the building blocks/repairative nutrients to bring healing? Glucosamine chondroitin, etc, any benefit?

I tore mine 4 days age. When should I start trying to do these exercises?

[@abrahamcervin2643]

Hi y’all I torn my meniscus, it’s been 4 months , I didn’t do surgery. At first I could not walk and my knee would give out on me when I would walk but it doesn’t lock on me, I can’t go fully deep squat without a bit of pain but I started running again about a month ago , I still feel it kinda unstable at times. I haven’t done any exercises to help but for the most part I’m doing good, if you’re trying to get back into sports he very careful if you do alot of quick turn what I would recommend is using a knee brace or athletic tape , wrap it as tightly as you comfortably can, I’m going to get surgery to clean out my knee as soon as I finish indoor soccer haha

[@patelshome806]

How does your knee feel in general? I tore my meniscus, and my knee just feels like I can't generate strength. It just feels off like I can't push off from it. Although I'm able to, it just feels off. Is this how yours feels?

[@user-dk4hw9of1k]

​@@patelshome806здравствуйте ответьте пожалуйста как вы сейчас? У меня точно такое ощущение как у вас!!! Нога стала слабее и тоньше

[@JavierCespedes90]

What do Bob and Brad think about terminal knee extensions with bands for meniscus pain ?

[@CentauriCentauri]

Thanks Bob and Brad. I am trying to figure out why I got meniscus tears in both my knees. I don't do any sports that have sudden stops, twists etc. I cycle. I do loaded squats, calf raises and deadlifts with proper form. I do have bow legs. (Bow legged outwards). And my meniscus are both medial. I am also 52 years old. Would the bow legs be the culprit?

[@sdmakeupandentertainment]

My surgeon told me it's aging and wear and tear abd you can get a torn meniscus from simply getting up and turning in a weird position suddenly or falling. I actually fell on mine. I have osteoarthritis too. As we get older it just gets more prevalent. He also said when you get in one the other one usually has the same issue. It's just normal.

[@CentauriCentauri]

@@sdmakeupandentertainment Thank you for all that info. It was helpful and makes perfect sense for me. :)

[@jbullets5964]

Is it necessary to have the knee surgery or would the exercises suffice?

[@dtownLaydowns]

I (49M) tore my meniscus (heard a crack) after a minor jump 7 months ago. The discomfort got worse. The doctor said surgery may not help. I got arthroscopic surgery anyway. Doctor noted only 25% upper cartilage remains. Meniscus had a 25% tear. No stitches required. 6 weeks since surgery and Swelling is worse. Pain is constant but not as sharp. Lots of fluid in knee. Really hurts on stairs and when I first wake up. Biking is very helpful as are these exercises. Going to get a cortisol shot and keep exercising.

i was a boxing coach and i got mine torn in 2021 April but i didn’t want to get a surgery cuz i had to work and make money but it got worse since then so i had to get a surgery in 2022 july it has been over a year now. i am able to walk again but i don’t think i can run a mile or so weightlifting like squatting or bend my knees more than 90 degrees over

[@deanharringtonguitarist9684]

If I can flex my knee joint fully with gradual stretching (foot too butt) but there is some tightness and pain, is it good to keep gently working on it slowly until the knee joint can fully flex? Or, is this injuring the meniscus more and I should accept a lesser range of motion until the pain is gone and meniscus is healed, and then resume stretching when the pain is gone. Again, it's not terrible pain, but more of a tightness that I'm able to work past with gradual stretching over 10 minutes or so.

[@Mdirrp]

Approx 2 month ago My right knee started to have pain when I put the left one on it with side sleeping , then started snapping or cracking sound , then developed pain that comes and goes multiple times in seconds around both of patella sides ,and front side(where quad ends) , pain at the back of knee when sleeping on my back , tender to put on pressure , feeling snapp sensation or tick sensation when going up to stairs , after few days the same steps gone to effect the left one , it developed same problems with the right one After one month I felt that when I am in sitting position on floor and my knees are bended , when I put my bended knee on floor , I felt like bones of knee are making contact or something like that (No pain associated) NB: No Trauma or injury related.
