      I seem to have a meniscus tear on my left knee, it is from doing 200 rep calisthenics squats, i am a racing cyclist and i am 45, can i continue to ride my bike if i stop the squat exercises? I am in pain walking but its not excessive, on the bike the pain lowers once my body temperature warms up but there is still discomfort, its more of a dull ache when riding the bike, im also now taking a glucosamine supplement is that the rite thing to do?

    • @SportsInjuryPhysio

      @@stuartmclean3843 The general rule seems to be that you can continue any exercise that:
      1. Does not cause a significant increase in pain while doing the activity AND
      2. Does not cause an increase in pain and swelling in the 24 hours after - make sure to check the delayed response
      But that said, if you are a racing cyclist you will be very good at suppressing pain and not really taking note - I find that any athlete who does high intensity or endurance sport tend to not have a reliable pain system so if it is not getting better it might be that the cycling is aggravating it regardless of it not being that painful.
      Also, don't do high intensity sessions if it is a fresh injury - go easy for 4 to 6 weeks (you physio will be able to better guide you on appropriate times depending on progress)

    I tore my meniscus two years ago, it was the worst 12 weeks of my life as far as pain… I couldn’t walk, drive or go up stairs. I went to ortho surgeon and he suggested surgery, I was a week from going to have surgery and all of a sudden I started to feel better, in the meantime waiting i really spent a lot of time resting it and icing …and walking very carefully I ended up canceling the surgery and I am here to tell you My knee feels amazing… I slowly started to move my knee and do some light exercises…. From beginning to end it took 3-4 months, I was 70 years old at the time. I am so thankful I saved my meniscus and living life fully again

    I have been dealing with a meniscal tear for over 6 months, I have seen A LOT of orthopedic surgeons as well as physio therapists, and I have done A LOT of research as well. And trust me, there has NOT BEEN A SINGLE doctor who has guided this properly as she did. Especially everything about the rehab she told.
    There's is SO MUCH misguidance regarding this matter on the internet as well as in the hospitals. And she answered every single concern and question very well.

      After weeks of physio … in which time I was given more gentle exercise…. I went online and found this podcast.
      I guided myself by the amount of pain I was feeling , and now realise it was the correct thing to do . I’m not quite perfect yet , but can walk comfortably and do the normal things . This has been great confirmation of how my knee was reacting with meniscus damage … thanks!

      Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people because an upsetting event occurs in their lives taking them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
      While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
      Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
      It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

    This is easily the best video I have found for advice on how to start healing and preventing further injury. Other videos I've seen either tell you to start exercising right away or are surgeons telling you that you're basically screwed but to get surgery anyway. It's great to see a video that is about being proactive.

    Thank you very much Maryke. I injured my knee (meniscus injury) about four years ago and had physio at the time and did lots of exercises. It has never really fully healed, and I do have to be careful that I don’t walk for extended periods on uneven ground, specifically downhill. I went to Symonds Yat yesterday which is a beauty spot near Ross on Wye in the UK, walked down from the rock at the top of the valley down to the river and by the time I got down to the river the knee was twinging… I then obviously had to walk back up again which was not too much of a problem and I had no pain, but after that it became extremely painful any time I had to walk even on a slight slant downwards. I do feel I’m back to square one and hence I looked for a video to help me, this was extremely detailed and I will follow your advice to try and get it back again. I do feel a bit defeatist having had it for so long and being in my sixties now, but I will try what you suggest as it sounds like such good advice 🤷‍♀️ thanks once again, you have good knowledge and obvious passion for the subject, much appreciated 🙏

    Very detailed and helpful information. My orthopedic surgeon recommended me to have surgery for mensics oblique tear. I am getting second recommendation but after watching your video I will decide and take a 3-4 months rehab with physio. The physio team are great as they recommended the exact exercise as what you mentioned. Balance, single leg stuff and glue bridge and gentle squats.i also do have tight calf but that is fine.

    Thank you so much for this informative video. I’m 7 weeks into an MRI diagnosis of a complex tear in my right meniscus. I’m a 57 year old active woman, and have been knocked off my feet with this injury. Feel like I’m wasting my time with therapy, as tiny little exercises and ultrasound are doing nothing for the pain or for getting back into my triathlon training. I understand the threat of osteoarthritis down the road, but I’m looking for relief now.

  • @DavidSmith-fs4nt
    @DavidSmith-fs4nt 2 роки тому +3

    Thank you for this video. I learned so much more from you than from my internist and orthopedist. Initially he said I had arthritis but when the corticosteroid shot didn't work he said I needed a total knee replacement but I'm currently can't get it done because my wife is ill and I need to take care of her. Four days ago I started using KT tape to help support my knee. I used their UA-cam video to learn how to support my joint. All pain has gone away which is allowing me to rehab and strengthen my joint. I had already figured out uneven pavement aggravated the joint, including walking uphill and downhill. Also twisting made it worse. I believe the extra stability from the KT tape will help me get the muscles supporting my knee to strengthen and allow the meniscus to heal. Thanks a million.
