Heads up! I began experiencing medial knee pain that most likely was the result of a overuse or a degenerative meniscus condition. I'm a runner and decided to have it checked out in case it was something serious, but my knee x ray was normal. The orthopedist did some tests, suggested an MRI and immediately recommended surgery if there was any indication of a meniscus tear. My bullshit alarm went off right away which prompted me to go with a rigorous physical therapy approach instead, and I'm glad I did. I'm back to normal as the result of conditioning stability muscles that were neglected. Avoid surgery for degenerative knee conditions if at all possible and commission a reputable physical therapist, but you have to be committed and do the rehab routines everyday! Motor on through the pain and it will pay off.
What kind of physical therapy did you do? I’m 61 with some discomfort in my medial meniscus… on and off. It’s a pain in the A*+. But I feel that it’s not a major tear. I usually just apply pressure on it and run for a few minutes and it goes away temporarily. Just wondering what else I can do myself in terms of self therapy. Thanks.
@@pete9688 Lateral heel tap, single leg balance transfer w kettlebell, single leg bridge, wall sits, heavy dumbell goblet squat, single leg dead lift w kettlebell, reverse lunge. I ran 11 miles this morning with no knee pain in addition to my regular Monday and Wednesday runs.
@@pete9688 Do them 3 to 4 times a week, at least two sets of 10 reps each! Your knee might feel like it's getting worse initially but you need to grind through it. Results will come after about three months. For wall sits, try to build up to 90 seconds....two or three sets.
Mine tore when standing up from a chair. 22 sessions of physical therapy later, it was healthier than it had been in years. But I said, "I plan to go skiing and I'm fine to pay more" and my prescription covered it tho the insurance would not. So we went to 34 sessions. I was back in 30's athletic shape at that point. All from physical therapy.
i've watched a lot of knee videos and feel i must comment that this one is the most well explained regarding meniscus repair...thanks so much for making it
I'm an old fart with a young man's injury according to Dr. Franklin, that gives me some comfort. Seriously, I'm 62 and suffered a oblique undersurface tear of my posterior horn medial meniscus. Your explanation has helped me understand how this happened and what at least some of my options are. Thanks for the video.
Going on 7 years of in and off knee pain after being struck by a schedule 80 piece of conduit. Been hurting for almost a month and finally got my MRI. Awaiting results.
Thank you! Now I have a much better understanding. I will be going in for my surgery in 3 weeks. I am ready to get back into my normal activities routine.
Immediately subscribed following this video ! I’ve been diagnosed with a meniscus tear recently, and this video was packed full of interesting knowledge pertaining to the knee! Hopefully I’ll see more videos similar to the above shortly…
Great explanation doc thank you. At 66 i guess i have to quit thinking it will stop hurting on its own. Stubborn old guy here. I usually only go to hospital when i need sewing up
I’ve had a meniscus repair in 2014 but I’m still experiencing pain and crepitus in the same knee. I have experienced several falls and my doctor says there’s no problem, although I know it is.
Have you been doing physical therapy and strengthening the muscles around your knee? Im not saying it's the case flr you but sometimes the pain and feelings we have on the knee after injuries and injuries could be psychological. I play soccer professionally and have had issues physically. Physical therapy helps a lot. Get string and confident and over all your health will feel better. Hope all is well
I injured my knee and have what feels like fluid in the surrounding knee area. When the injury happened, I didn’t feel a pop of any sort, so not sure I have this. I did the RICE thing and swelling has gone down significantly but I will be seeing a surgeon next week to get a diagnosis
Thank you Doctor Brett ! Very detailed video, that has helped me understand what might be going on inside my knee at this time ! Following your channel from London Ontario 🇨🇦 Blessings 🙋🏻♂️🙏🏼
Thanks for this. I hurt my knee and heard a pop. I've been icing and stretching. There is still an occassional click at the back but I'm still icing, walking, and stretching. No ballet class until I'm back to 100%. I'm almost there after about 4 weeks.
@@michaelcoleman3407 need an MRI to see it. Had the same problem. A good doctor will have you perform some specific knee exercises to detect a tear as well
Thank you so much. Its a great learning. I am facing knee pain and I have been told I have mild myxoid degeneration of medial meniscus. Is it curable ? will I be able to go back to my basketball and running days again? Your opinion would be helpful. Thanks
Hello Dr Brett I fell down and hit my right knee at work, according to them it was a meniscus tear and it will heal on its own, they gave medicine for inflammation and pain after that physical therapy I did maybe 4 or 5 sessions but it seems like I didn't had much improvement, I contacted back and explained that I been having pain when I'm on my feet all day, I don't have strength on my knee I have to wear a knee brace to be able to make it throughout my day at work. But they didn't approved any further medical treatment, this was through my job workers comp. I just need some relief with this pain.
Well explained i really appreciate the depth of your experience and work with this type of problem., I have a meniscus tear that comes with swelling and pain. Walking up and down the stairs is hard to do and painful. I have done physical therapy for a few months and also was prescribed Duxes for the swelling.. So I'm looking for a good knee brace to get ?? And if you have any suggestions for me as well?? Thanks in advance
I injured my meniscus moving furniture while pushing with my knee. Whatever happened in my knee it caused my kneecap to move out of place and I had a lot of swelling..over a year later and I still have swelling. I had my doctor do surgery on it and he said that the cartilage has worn off part of my kneecap. He said all he did in the surgery was irrigate my knee and put cortisone in it. He didn't do anything to my meniscus. This injury happened over a year ago and it is no better than the day it happened. My doctor told me Im looking at a knee replacement in a couple of years. Its frustrating to me that this injury has turned into this situation. I can't help thinking this doctor could have done more. He had me going to physical therapy and doing things I shouldn't have been doing at the time and I feel this led to the cartilage wearing away. My knee stays full of fluid. Hes drained it 3 times.
Me too, same age. Ive come to understand that our bodies go to shit far earlier than I thought and I also discovered doctors are useless most of the time.
This is me..I had MRI...was told I snapped my hamstring .. my kneecap pulled to the right on my right leg..I had some swelling ..no bruising ..but lots of pain..Take Tylenol.or ALEVEand aDVIL. but they bother my stomach... I put ice on it and it took months for my kneecap to pop back into position..it does hurt if I overdo..and mostly when sitting for long periods of time and getting up..at times my knee swells on the outside but the pain is behind and down my calf and on the inside of my knee..at times it pops like the bone is out of place ..and the pain subsides.. I routinely walk 15-20 miles a week maybe more in summer doing yard work (mowing and gardening) .
Hey Doc, my knee gets stuck while bent sometimes or in a dynamic position and I’ve even had to go to the hospital to get them to straighten it back out before. I’ve had two arthroscopic surgeries and it’s still gets stuck from time to time. I love mixed martial arts and have competed several times but have stopped since it seems my knee will always give me this problem. Any ideas or solutions?
Hi Dr Brett, I am 36 years old and I live in Australia. I suffer from mild pain in the left knee and occasionally in the right knee as well there is a lot of clicking in my left knee. I don't recall having an injury in the past, however my job demands long walks and standing still for long periods of time. I have had an MRI and I have been told there is nothing wrong in the knees but I still have the pain specially in my left knee. What do you recommend. Thank you in advance.
I changed up my golf swing to focus my weight on the inner part of my feet instead of letting it shift to the outside of the foot… I think this caused so much extra pressure on my medial meniscus bc 4 weeks playing like this and they both hurt
Hello, i have a knee pain and actually did altra sound but nothing was found wrong with my knee. I actually hit the knee (left knee) on the ground well falling. Have been out of sports for 2 weeks now but still it's same pain. I really do not want surgery
I have an acute posterior medial meniscus root tear with extrusion. I have no pain or swelling and no mobility or flexibility impairment. I get soft grinding for a few seconds that comes and goes spontaneously. I would like your opinion on how to reduce the soft grinding. Thanks
Let's say the MCL is torn & you're managing it with braces, biofreeze, massaging etc. Will it get worse over time or will you just have that discomfort?
I made a squat in Dezember, same weight I was using for over a month but on that day my knees rotated inward (collapsing knees)... Since then my knees lock, I have feeling they will give away, I'm in pain when I walk, during the night they give in and get numb, there is a grating sound sometimes, seeing my ortho surgeon because I'm suspecting some meniscus injury...I did physical therapy but it didn't helped me :( I had more pain so we decided to stop. Thanks for this info
The medial aspect of my right knee seems to pop out of joint, and there is an audible "pop" when my knee goes back into joint. When it pops out, it sort of locks my knee in a painful position. It is getting worse. I was helping my neighbor change a tire on a full size pickup truck. The tire hit me on the side of my knee, as I was taking it off of the vehicle. What do this think are the chances of this healing itself?
I have the same issue but I hurt mine playing around at wrestling practice in high school. It will get stuck from time to time while in a bent or dynamic position and Is very hard to get the knee back into its proper place. Hurts like hell, well I’ve had two arthroscopic surgeries and they didn’t help that symptom at all. I love grappling to this day but have gotten away from it because I never know when my knee will slip out. It’s been 12 years since my initial injury and today while stretching I felt it try to slide out and caught it before it did. Good luck, you will learn to work around it.
Behind my knee and the outer side of my knee hurts so bad but the doc has t called me back yet. I can't even stand on my own with out help and my knee locks... And it stings like a bee sometimes... Idk what's wrong
I hurt my knee while playing soccer, last year.. my knee is still unstable, still pops, and I have a quad atrophy… what could b the problem, I already did a scan on the knee, nothing was found… pls reply

Hi Doctor. I have another problem.After an accident my middle of the shin is feeling numb. Please give me proper guide its been two months ago and its still numb
I had a sport injury "treated" when I was 19 yrs old. I had a discoid meniscus resectioned, the result was abysmal. I always take the trouble to ask people who have had knee surgery what they think of it. The results are not good. Knee surgery is an extraodinarly high risk endevour, you are walking into a snake pit when you walk into a knee surgeons office
@@reycesarcarino4653 Not good, the problem migrated from the unstable knee (following knee surgery) to the surrounding joints, ankle, hip, si, lower back
Hello Dr, I am 30yrs old and having grade 3 posterior horn of medial meniscus tear on my MRI, will it be fixed without surgery? I don't have any pain but when I bend my leg full while sitting then it gets locked.
I have an auto shop w/my husband and I am the helper 😊 I do the office work, but I also help the guys w/the cars and clean up the place. Unfortunately I also have had a seizure problem for the past 20 yrs. For about 6 months, my left leg has been feeling weak, numb, and tingly but especially when I take a shower. Too hot of water makes it feel like my knee is going to collapse! It also gets swollen! Is that arthritis?
I had scoliosis surgery so an MRI isn’t possible. Can a CT Scan be done? I’ve had 4 knee surgeries (all scoped) many many years ago. Unfortunately my surgeon retired. He was so amazing! I should have quit gymnastics and I wouldn’t have kept injuring myself. I’m kind of stubborn that way. Oops.
Hello To will be 7 days since I tore my meniscus, for the first And second day I have trouble walking like going up and down steps.. after day 3-4 it was okay to walk with a little bit of discomfort. Now I can do squats but I can’t do legs raise…. Mine is on the inside
My girlfriend builds up scare tissue rather quickly, is there a way to heal from a tear without surgery? The last surgery she got her knee froze up and won’t go past a 90° angle even with physical therapy daily.
Good info I'm 66 healthy but in last 5 months both my knees are in excruciating pain when I stand up or stoop down , so painful takes my breath away , I am the only caregiver for my wife fighting breast cancer ,I have way too much to do .

We re in August 2021 , in March 2021 I hit my knee against one of those metal towing hitch coming out of the front bumper of a Rav 4 It did hurt at first but I thought it's all good I m still standing, 2 days later I had a physical activity planned before going I thought my knee is not 100% but I can still do it, long story short I ended up with a sprained ankle. My doctor later told me there s a possibility that your meniscus is torn until this day I m not walking the same way I used to , its a terrible feeling I hear a pop everytime I bend my knee going to see a physio I might need a surgery though
I have grade2 signal posterior horn medial meniscus in my left knee i am facing swelling and pain but not locking no creking.Shuld i go to surgery are its heeled by physiotherapy.pls tell me

Let's say the MCL is torn & you're managing it with braces, biofreeze, massaging etc. Will it get worse over time or will you just have that discomfort?
Is it a Fracture? Or Fully Torn?
Because it’s not gonna Grow back. They need to get a Graft from your Leg and Use it for the Tendon.
Do MRIs always show a meniscus tear if you have one?

I had a sport injury "treated" when I was 19 yrs old. I had a discoid meniscus resectioned, the result was abysmal. I always take the trouble to ask people who have had knee surgery what they think of it. The results are not good. Knee surgery is an extraodinarly high risk endevour, you are walking into a snake pit when you walk into a knee surgeons office
How does your knee feel
@@reycesarcarino4653 Not good, the problem migrated from the unstable knee (following knee surgery) to the surrounding joints, ankle, hip, si, lower back
Hello Dr, I am 30yrs old and having grade 3 posterior horn of medial meniscus tear on my MRI, will it be fixed without surgery? I don't have any pain but when I bend my leg full while sitting then it gets locked.
Now what is your condition ? Did u operate or heal naturally
I have an auto shop w/my husband and I am the helper 😊 I do the office work, but I also help the guys w/the cars and clean up the place. Unfortunately I also have had a seizure problem for the past 20 yrs. For about 6 months, my left leg has been feeling weak, numb, and tingly but especially when I take a shower. Too hot of water makes it feel like my knee is going to collapse! It also gets swollen! Is that arthritis?
When I sit on ground crossed legs, I experience pain while straightening my right leg. The pain is behind my right. Kindly help.
I had scoliosis surgery so an MRI isn’t possible. Can a CT Scan be done? I’ve had 4 knee surgeries (all scoped) many many years ago. Unfortunately my surgeon retired. He was so amazing! I should have quit gymnastics and I wouldn’t have kept injuring myself. I’m kind of stubborn that way. Oops.
What does he mean 'catching'?

My girlfriend builds up scare tissue rather quickly, is there a way to heal from a tear without surgery? The last surgery she got her knee froze up and won’t go past a 90° angle even with physical therapy daily.
Good info I'm 66 healthy but in last 5 months both my knees are in excruciating pain when I stand up or stoop down , so painful takes my breath away , I am the only caregiver for my wife fighting breast cancer ,I have way too much to do . But am slowly succumbing to the pain . Can you fix both at same time far as weight bearing ability
These stretches have made a world of difference in my pain level. Try them out. I don’t know this guy I just happened to stumble across the video and it’s helped so much. Sending strength to your wife!

We re in August 2021 , in March 2021 I hit my knee against one of those metal towing hitch coming out of the front bumper of a Rav 4 It did hurt at first but I thought it's all good I m still standing, 2 days later I had a physical activity planned before going I thought my knee is not 100% but I can still do it, long story short I ended up with a sprained ankle. My doctor later told me there s a possibility that your meniscus is torn until this day I m not walking the same way I used to , its a terrible feeling I hear a pop everytime I bend my knee going to see a physio I might need a surgery though
