    I too had miniscus tear in my left knee on 3rd July, 23 and my doctor suggested hinged brace and similar exercises except the one with ball, to be done 50 times per day. I am feeling much better now but I will continue doing the said exercises for complete freedom of movement. I am from India..

    So helpful! As Jessica says in the video, my meniscus injury "acts up" and makes my knee unstable every couple of years when it folds or shifts. So frustrating but I'm glad there are exercises like this so that I don't have to have surgery. Not a fan of getting cut open over small things I could overcome with self-help. Thanks for the video! 🙂

    My knee locked on me a couple days ago and the pain was so severe that I immediately went to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat. For two days I have not been able to bend it back or even straighten it out (always have had some trouble bending it back as well as my right knee as I did have arthroscopic surgery on my left knee in my 20's) and to not be able to straighten it out was wierd. Anyway scheduling an appointment tmrw with Ortho One in Columbus BUT I tried your simple three exercises and my knee realigned, is straight now and totally back to normal. This correction was so startling that I would nearly call it a miracle. Wow, you know your stuff. Thank you!!!

    Glad I found this video. I actually did have medial meniscus surgery in August. I ran on the injured knee for about 6 weeks before shutting down and getting checked. My doc showed me the MRI result that revealed the small tear. He said the surgery was very straightforward and he expected a full recovery. He had me start PT a week later, which was the right thing to do. The therapist, who is very experienced, knew I was a runner so he pushed me. I accepted that challenge. Three days later, I had a hematoma the size of a cucumber that started at the point of the scope and extended around to the back of my knee. Walking was pain free 3 days after the surgery, but after the hematoma, I was in some pain. I went to therapy for 4 weeks. On the last day, the therapist really pushed me and it felt great. By that night, I couldn't walk. Since that time (mid-September), I have had on-and-off bouts of pain. I went back to see the surgeon twice. He is confident that I don't have additional damage, and offered steroid injections (which I declined). By mid-October, I was feeling pretty good. It seemed like I would be able to run soon. I spent a week at Walt Disney World walking about 6 miles a day. By the time I got home, I was in considerable pain. I couldn't go back to the doc because my wife was about to have surgery on a broken foot. I had to wait until she was able to care for herself. I finally went back to the surgeon the Thursday before Thanksgiving. He thoroughly examined me and said that he saw no injury, although he said I had some fluid. At that visit, I did accept his offer for an injection. I am slowly feeling better. I'll try these three moves you recommend to see if they help. Thank you.

      I’ve had medial meniscus surgery myself (meniscectomy) and I recently tore the posterior portion of the same meniscus on the same knee and now my orthopedist is recommending surgery. Did you do these exercises and did it help your meniscus tear?!

    • @gzackerman
      @gzackerman 2 года назад +1

      @@77cuauhtemoc I did some of the exercises, post-surgery. The pain never got better. Eleven months after surgery, I sought a second opinion. The second surgeon had all of my pre-surgery images, plus he ordered new X-rays. It turns out that I developed avascular necrosis on the femoral chondyle, right above the spot where the meniscus was damaged. The meniscus surgery actually was successful. The spot on the bone that died developed while I was recovering, so I mistakenly attributed the pain to the original surgery. Now I need partial knee replacement. My surgeon has recommended that I hold off as long as I can until having surgery.

    I was terrified when I injured my knee severely 6 months ago (most likely a lateral meniscus tear) since I know how important our joints are and how important it is to keep them healthy! All the literature I have read so far discusses how surgery can often lead to more degenerative problems in the future, I am so happy to have found this video and your channel!! I will absolutely be implementing these into my daily routine with the hopes of rehabbing my knee without surgical intervention. Thank you!

    Jessica - I sincerely appreciate your posting this video! I'm 58 and love being active. (Jogging, weights, aerobics, dancing, etc.) I was diagnosed with a bucket handle tear of the lateral meniscus just over two months ago. I've seen 3 different orthopedic "specialists" who have each reviewed my MRI and suggested surgery, saying it's the best and the quickest way for me to have the chance to return to my active lifestyle. I really wanted surgery to be my last resort. (I saw 3 different orthopedic doctors because I was hoping to hear someone say I didn't need surgery!) There wasn't the slightest consideration of a non-invasive option. I'm scheduled for surgery on December 8th, but after watching this video and doing these exercises, I may be inclined to cancel the surgery and try to wait 6 months to give the process more time along with applying these exercises. It would be worth it if the result is I don't need surgery! Thanks for the inspiration! ☺

      ​This month (February 2023) marks the nearing 6th month anniversary of my bucket handle meniscus injury. I haven't submitted to any surgeries. Surgery is irreversible and offered me no guarantees of a full recovery. Call it insecurity, but I just don't trust it. With a lot of prayer, managing my movements to ensure I'm not over-exerting during recovery, including wearing my support sleeve /brace when needed, and most of all, with consistent application of Jessica's recommended exercises, I have gained so much more mobility over the extended time period. With a lot of patience and consistency, I'm now even able to go for very light jogging and aerobics. Can I run as fast as I used to? No. Does my knee still feel a little different when I walk or squat? Yes, of course. It was the worst kind of meniscus injury ever, and there is probably still torn tissue lodged in there, which has not completely healed yet. But when I consider that the surgeons each advised that I would need to endure 6-months in recovery AFTER surgery and physical therapy, I think I made the best choice. I am so proud of my progress! I can honestly say that I am at least 86-89% recovered and all WITHOUT SURGERY! (Although surgery may the best answer for some people.)

    Been dealing with a lot of pain and stiffness from a degenerative meniscus tear. Finally decided to attack it and found this video. It is probably 30-40 percent better just from a day if this. I think when it gets stiff you start to baby it and it just gets tighter and hurts more. It feels so good to get it moving again. You can almost feel the blood flow like I forgot how to use the muscles around me knee. Weird but great. You are a lifesaver. I'll keep you posted.

    Hoping this helps my knees, which I injured doing the Brazilian butt lift. I just turned 76, and I was so disgusted with myself because I know I was doing the backward swing, and kick too fast, and hyperextended the leg. I massaged it this morning. The issue is, it hurts if I wear a sandal with a heel, and it hurts mostly when sitting in the car, or trying to sleep. Last night was not too bad, and I had been crawling around on the ground, digging, and mulching the flower beds. Getting a straight blade shovel line on the edges. Maybe it is finally easing up a bit. I tried one method yesterday of turning out my feet slightly, and squeezing the glutes with each step. It didn't hurt when I first did it, so I continued, but didn't do many. Looking so forward to these exercises, which I tried this morning. They feel comfortable as well. Thank you.

    Thankyou. Your plan looks like I may be able to do it. I cannot sit on the floor because I cannot get back up but I will start trying what you have suggested. I am so desperate I am going to make myself a platform so I do not have to get on the floor. My wait to get a test so that I can see a doc is over 6 months. I can't wait that long for my knee to be ok.

    Had one meniscus repair four months ago, and it really didn’t help much. Now the other knee is starting to act up. I’m going to do these faithfully on both legs and try not to have another painful and inconvenient surgery! Question: can one do the first exercise on both legs at once?

    Hi Jessica, thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I just did your exercises for the last 3 days. Now can stand up without difficulties. I did box jump and got meniscus torn by RMI, 4 months ago. During walking sometimes has sound clicking on my left knee. Just wonder if the clicking go away, is it means I can walk/cyclist again? Once again thank you very much for your video, its help and give me a spirit again. I am 62.

    I am 31, I've had 2 knee surgeries in 2020 on my left knee and then dislocated my a right knee this month. Freak accident and terrible timing.
    Thank you for your video, luckily I didn't break many bones this time, I hope to avoid surgery if I can.
    My knees apparently dislocate easily, the other happened while running so it was much worse.
    If you know of any exercises to prevent dislocation, if they exist, I would be very grateful.
    I raced motocross/supercross for many years and believe some of that has come back to haunt me.

    I think I damaged my manicus from snowboarding over 20 years ago , I have had doctors look at both of my knees and been told they are ok . I have pain if I run over 3 miles and have just taken up wing foiling where I have to kneel down on a board then stand up but find in colder conditions I find it hard to get up from kneeing and fall into the water . I am going to do your exercises and hope to find a knee specialist in the new year to check my knees all the things that happen with manicus tears all happen to me thanks phil
