Is Being Overweight The Insidious Reason For A Torn Meniscus?

[@pamelahenley7406]

I tore my meniscus after a long period of shielding. I did a lot of squats while indoors but my gluts were still weak, especially on one side from nerve damage. Knee is much better now gluts are stronger and more balanced thanks to your advice. Work on foot strength too!

I agree with you. No weight has absolutely NOTHING to do with torns parts in the kneecaps!!!! I have to wear braces and I am very thin. The only difference is if overweight may have to use a wheel chair. When if thin, you can walk very easy with braces on both knees. But weight doesn't have to do with cuts or tears in the meniscus inside the kneecap or cartridge.

Thanks for your information. I’m about 30lbs overweight and really thought it was the reason I tore my meniscus.Your channel has been very useful to me. I tore my meniscus last year and thought it healed. So I ran on it again and now I have a large tear . ( I didn’t know it was my meniscus until a few weeks ago . Now I need surgery . I really don’t want to do surgery.

I’ve had a meniscus tear when I was a pro athlete and it the top shape . Now I’ve gained 60 lbs with menopause and steroids and this surgery I had 3 weeks ago has failed. How can I lose weight and have this horrible tear that I can’t even put weight bearing on it?

I really think an old loveseat that was a bit lopsided caused my knee pain. The chair seat leaned slightly to the right and I have issues with my right knee.

Thanks for the info. Pl make videos on spinal compression fractures

Hi Doctor, your videos are great. Can you help me choosing the right brace for my knee? Which one should I buy for my running, recreational activities. This is my diagnosis. Incomplete tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus grade 2. The minimal amount of fluid in both lateral recesses. Thank you in advanced

Hello! I hope you are doing well. I recently got my MRI results, and it mentioned a grade 3 tear at the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. The report also states that the ACL is not adequately seen. There's no joint effusion. I'm quite worried and hesitant about surgery. Can this be fixed through physiotherapy and a knee immobilizer? I really want to explore alternatives to surgery. Your insights would mean a lot to me during this challenging time. Thanks in advance for your help.

@@epmanualphysicaltherapy thank you for your reply. The program you shared is about the people who have done surgery and who were thinking for going to another surgery. Can you please guide me how can i treat myself without surgery for meniscus tear grade 3 on posterior horn medial. Should i use knee immobilizer pad, icing and do any physiotherapy exercises? Will this help in healing the 3rd grade tear?
