I am a little sad I have been experience these same issues except a little more severe than your patient. I was squatting in the grocery store trying to get something off a lower shelf and I heard a pop and felt a very sharp pain. I had to gather myself before I was able to get back up because it was excruciating. I went to the Drs who referred me to this Orthepedic Sepialist. I am not happy that he diagnosed me with Pes Anserine Bursitis. I had a lot of fluid build up in my leg, but I complained of the inner knee and back of knee pain. My Hamstrings and front muscles have been stiff as if they are sore from the clinching. Anyways I go for a MRI in about 2 weeks I have been dealing with this pain which I think is a torn meniscus for Several months.

It's been bout 5-6 days ago now since I had injured my knee skateboarding. I was rolling up to an obstacle and a rock made my board stop short and sent me forward and when I planted my left foot on the ground to stop some of the momentum, my leg was stiff and bent inward from the knee down and popped back to it's original place. I woke up the next day having little range of motion on my knee and a slight buckling feeling when walking. I seen an orthopedic and the guy felt around and only did 2 or 3 of these tests (the one at 3:11 gave me the most trouble) and practically diagnosed me with a meniscus tear without seeing an MRI and said I have 3 options rest at home, physical therapy (which can be a physical terrorist) he said, and surgery. He kind of jumped the gun on surgery being the only option which sketched me out. I will be getting an MRI tomorrow. Should I trust this doctor or anything to look out for on MRI ?

Should I take the prehab PT appointments ? and is there any important things you recommend me to ask my ortho and PT ?

MRI shows exactly what's damaged. Meniscus tear?

I used to be a Registered Nurse who had to have spinal surgery. Just had my knee lick up yesterday, extreme spasm pain. Could only be moved after ambulance green whilst pain relief. At hospital straight to MRI to diagnose possible meniscus tear.

[@YoshiDavi09]

My son hurt his knee while playing soccer. He kicked a ball and he felt pain on his knee. He got an MRI and he got the following results: questionable vertical longitudinal tear of the anterior body and anterior horn medial meniscus. There was an also evidence of patellofemoral maltracking and some degree of trochlear dysplasia. He was able to do PT and return to play soccer 5 weeks after the first injury, but hurt his knee again on the first game back. He rested and return to play 3 weeks later, but hurt himself again. Currently, he has not played since the last injury, which happened one week ago. He doesn't have pain and is able to walk and move. My question is, based on the initial MRI, would the possible tear he has need surgery? Also, would it be a good idea to request another MRI? Right now, he started doing PT and working with a chiropractor.

[@antsoswag]

No one replied to you but do you have any tips

[@jorgesilva1647]

As a Kinesiology student who aspires to be a PT, it sounds like surgery might be needed. Meniscus tears can progress if the injury is not taken care of, compromising the rest of the knee and surrounding muscles. Because there is a tear, the surround muscles begin to compensate for the tear which can cause further issues. That’s why the PT in the above videos says working the quads, hamstring, glutes and calfs must be strengthened, to lessen any further damage. I hope this helps and answers you question to a certain degree

[@tamstrz4427]

A chiropractor?! Wowza. Common sense would tell me that your son should probably see an orthopedic specialist! Maybe several of them! Put down the ⚽️ for at least 4-6 months! I'm no doctor but I sure wish someone would have stopped me when I was young and kept reinjuring my back! It might have saved me from a major back surgery where I had blown out my L5-S1 and needed a disc replacement with titanium plate, fusion etc. Took YEARS of recovery (if u could call it that) that left me with chronic pain (surgery in 2008) and a slew of other issues all 3 mo's before my 40th bday. I know it's not the same but I cringe when I hear stories of young kids injuring and reinjuring their bodies! Nothing is worse than regret. I wish ur son a very happy ending to what can turn into a very serious life long story with no ending to the pain and suffering he will endure when he's older.

When I kneel or squad me knee bothers n I feel like if have a cut or knife cut on my knee. I already had an injection synvisc-one that didn’t helped me. because doctor told me I have osteoarthritis.

Even the pt tells me it’s meniscus so now I’m confused in pain. Thanks FINDINGS: The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are maintained. The components of the posterolateral corner and medial collateral ligament appear intact. Previously evident horizontal wear of the medial meniscus is less conspicuous and appears somewhat smaller on the present exam reflecting prior intervention. There is persistent near horizontal high signal present extending through the inferior aspest of the posterior horn body junction of the medial meniscus suggesting postsurgical change however the possibility of superimposed tear cannot be excluded, Correlation with MR arthrogram or CT arthrogram may be helpful and should be considered as clinically warranted. Lateral meniscus is intact. Bilateral meniscal tibial attachments are intact, Tricompartmental cartilage thinning in evident which appear similar to that seen on the prior exam. Joint effusion Is evident which appears decreased from prior exam. The patellar tendon and quadriceps mechanism are maintained. There is no abnormal signal evident to suggest fracture or osteonecrosis. IMPRESSION: 1. Findings most consistent with post surgical change involving the medial meniscus with a possible superimposed tear, discussion at suggestion as above. 2. Tricompartmental chondromalacia/cartilage thinning: unchanged. 3. Joint effusion: decreased frond prior exams.

Then he grabbed my big toe and started to ask me a question. That's when I said "STOP!". Do you intend to X-Ray my toe? "Well, yeah", he replied. And I said "How about we dispense with the "does this hurt, does that hurt?" He came out with my X-rays, shaking his head. "Darned if it isn't broken,", he said. Friggin doctors.

There are many people who have meniscus tears and respond very well to therapy. The first line of treatment is now physical therapy. Unless the knee is locked up. Secondly, the stronger they are going into surgery the better the outcome afterwards

[@williammiller-fs6cm]

@@OrthoEvalPal Right. And if you need surgery, you are going to have it soon after the injury, in which case there is no time to strengthen the muscles around the joint by doing silly exercises that can aggravate the injury. The first line of treatment is physical therapy, because surgery has shown itself to be worthless in the majority of cases. Rest and prayer would be as effective, but orthos and physical therapists have rents to pay.

I play football and last year (2022) I trained as usual, but after a training session it started to hurt behind my knee (I don't know if it was a bad move or a blow). Currently I can't pull my knee back much, because after a certain point I start to feel pain behind the knee, then when I stretch it it seems that it also hurts in front of the knee. I've already had an MRI, ultrasound, physical therapy and the pain continues. Think you know what it could be?

Same, I can’t bend it and sit on my knee the back hurts a lot

Hey Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.

God has never had offspring, nor was he born. And there is none comparable to him. O mind kind worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, so that you may become mindful of God. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that on earth: and He is Most High, Most Great.

[@zareegoraya1528]

God is above these debased behaviour of humans and has no sons or daughters neither was HE born! He was and is for ever! Jesus (Eisaa) was a prophet born because of God’s miracle from a Virgin Mary to show the people HE is capable of everything! Read your Old Testaments not written after centuries! Bless you all .

I just stepped down a high step on the fan and now something doesnt feel right.. 💀

[@vareymaldonado6572]

I fell of a horse and landed straight on my knee all my weight on my right knee. My calf was sore for a week and my thigh was also really sore. When I flex my calf I feel something funny on the left side of my right knee. Any feedback would really be helpful

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Definitely something I would see a Provider for. Too hard to tell without evaluating you myself.

If she wasnt in pain before...she is now after she was manipulated a million dofferent ways.

I can bend my knee no problem. I just can t straighten it. I hurts and I hear a pop

And DOES A MENISCUS TEAR NEED SURGERY???

[@eball1388]

Took way too long to get to the point

[@matthewm220]

😂 hopefully I didn’t tear my meniscus. I’m horrible at gauging my pain and doing self diagnosing

[@OrthoEvalPal]

You may want to see an orthopedic specialist.
