I was told the Meniscus tear behind my knee is not operable. I was unable to walk. With many weeks of physical therapy, exercise at home, simple walking and exercise in the pool, I’ve come a long way. I take vitamins, supplements and no longer eat any foods with additives,sugars or high in carbs. I also fast for 16 hours between my two meals a day and don’t eat after 7 p.m. My goal is to get functional walking and balance back. I’m 64.
You got this! Look into leg compression. It help me after a year of unable to walk without pain. It helps flush out stagnant blood and push in new healing blood in the area. Also look into knee over toe guy. This UA-cam here help me a lot as well as bob and brad

Very good information. Thank you for the details.
Thanks as usual for giving your time and knowledge Dr David
I’ve had MRI show complex bakers cyst, meniscus tears, osteoarthritis and ligament tears. I’m a hiker and MTB cyclist and have been so discouraged. After listening to your descriptions about healing with correct rehab and muscle rebalancing I’m encouraged! Thank you SO much for your videos and programs.🙏🏻

Hello from Michigan. Great videos
thanks Doc, great info
You are very welcome! 😊
I started out w/ a torn meniscus in 2013, I had 3 injections which helped for yrs. Then I got older and kept falling (on my knee) and now I'm scheduled for a TKR the first wk in January. I'm not able to walk very far (half a block). I'm in Phoenix still roasting but it's cooling off. Thx for the info.
Thanks for your help and knowledge, Brad from England
Hi Brad! You are welcome! Thank you for tuning in. 🙌
Hi this is Sherene from Australia. I have just had keyhole surgery on a torn meniscus. Would appreciate any info you could give me on what to do next
Suffer meniscus tear and stress fracture in Nov 22, I did all the rehabilitation shown on the web. Terrible pain. I declined the scope in March, given that was a fast track to partial replacement on my left knee back in 2020.I really don't want a replacement on my right knee. I was frustrated and limping until I found this Dr. and learned I was going about my rehab the wrong way. I've been working on my glues for 3+ weeks, I'm no longer limping and have started to walk a bit more now. THANK YOU DR.
Great to hear. How's the progress going now?
Dr. David really talked with a lot of sense. I really understand my current situation right now by listening to his explanations and did all what he has to advised. Last couple of months I went to a military hospital here in the Philippines, I am not going to say the name of the hospital but I sure did and ask for help but it turns out to be the biggest mistake of my life. The duty orthopedic who turns out to be a Major said something while attending to me that I was just shopping for reasons to avoid reassignments and hard duties, that words of his really like sending bullets to my head because I knew myself for 22 years of military duties, I was faithful to the service. I just filed my Retirement folder with a heart ache! Bravo Zulu to those sharing their expertise and knowledge to the masses.
obrigado.. thanks.
Hi good morning i always enjoy your video 📹 i am Trinidad and Tobago right now my both knees swollen and very painful could hardly stand up straight thank you

Hi Dr. Davis! I am from NY USA, I have torn meniscus & cartillage according to my orthopedic specialist in my last diagnosis 2021. I did the 3 excercises as I view this. It hurts my right knee but I can bear it. Do I need to have the knee replacement or just feel myself get better after your excercises. Had a hard time climbing stairs, I am a health care worker doing lots of walking and lifting patients. Thanks for answering my questions.
I have had a tear 3 rd grade.I was feeling better after 6 weeks ,but i started yoga and my 45 mts walk.I suddenly had tremendous pain while walking,and now i have severe pain and slight swelling.So is my walk that created this pain again
Hi David, I'm from Canada and have a torn meniscus and the other side is bone on bone. I also have a bakers cyst. Another problem is arthritis. All is extremely painful. I certainly enjoy your disc. I am due to have my second Cingal injection tomorrow. How do you feel about all of these treatments? I am 81 years old l

Hello love your channel from Thornton Colorado
I have had 2 meniscus surgeries. I'm from Ontario Canada. I was told last March I need a knee replacement. Having MS I am not wanting a knee replacement especially after researching the surgery.
My knee has not been able to stretch my knee fully, can't get down on the floor, my knee just won't bend, walking was a huge issue as well. I went to physio for many yrs and they always focused on quad strengthing exercises.
Since I started to follow you, Dr David has helped me so much! I am so much better now! Thank you for your knowledge and caring ❤. I agree being overweight dose play a factor in healing.
I’m taking gelatin powder with amazing relief after eight weeks✌🏼
Jennifer from san miquel Spain:so glad ive found you!!!

Thank you for so much information about meniscus tear. I am not medically diagnose, but I am currently having pain in my knee and believe I tore my meniscus. I have been researching for natural treatment or exercises I can do at home as I am trying to avoid surgery. Listening to you that it can heal gives me hope without having surgery. Thank you.

Would you please talk about pain in patella which had subluxation during a fall on a cement block on the ground 4 months ago and pain still go and come back
Is it possible to regenerate thinning meniscus?
My right knee problem began about 3 months ago. I’d been kneeling a couple of days prior to my knee starting to click - no pain just clicking when walking and moving in bed. The clicking then stopped and pain in the inside of my knee began. I went to the urgent care centre and after a very quick examination the doctor said I have bone on bone arthritis. Anyhow I’m seeing a physiotherapist tomorrow and hoping for some help. The knee is getting stiff as are surrounding structures. I’m 62, male and have some additional weight on me (MC4R). I already walk with a stick due to pre-existing spinal issues so plenty to deal with :) I just wanted to say thanks for giving me hope😊

Julie from Virginia.... Question: I'm a 34 year quadriplegic. I took a couple falls recently and I'm pretty sure I have a Meniscus tear in both knees. I haven't been to the doctor but want to avoid surgery. Since I'm in a sitting position in my wheelchair during the day, can I heal with just a brace on each knee?
So what is the best way to lengthen my quads, I'm using a massage ball.

Hi David, i noticed issues with knee last September 2023. Its now 7 months swelling behind left knee, initial pain were on left external side, now paiin concentrated towards front of knee. Ankle is also affected same leg, as is hip ( GTPS) plus hamstring tendinopathy. Quads also feel tight on left leg, as does calf .
Just been referred this week for MRI on knee... had 3rd injection in hip( inflamed bursitis) yesterday. I suspect i am trying to do too much by walking every day ..will need to stop and check out exercise program. Physio has only given exercises for the other issues ( hip/ hamstrings)

Can I ask you , if you should use knee supports or not , ….Brad from England , thank you
Hi Brad, knee support can be beneficial if you feel it makes the knee feel more supported and it helps ease discomfort. If you try it and it doesn't feel right it's important to stop using it. We would highly suggest buying a few from retailers that have a good return policy. This will allow you to find one that best suits your needs and you can return the ones that didn't work for you.
John Fitzgerald from Jackson, TN
I had MRI in July due to pain and inflammation, came out as meniscus tear and baker’s cyst. I took 24 therapy, which ended about month ago. Now my knee gets flared up again and backer’s cyst are gets quite stiffened. Don’t know how do I go about moving forward?
Thank you

Hi Elvie, thank you for tuning in all the way from Canada! 🇨🇦🍁🧡
Does your ankle swell on same leg of your injury?
Lisa from California. My inner right knee, is in a flair up.
Hey, from Houston Texas I’ve recently been towed and had an MRI of both knees stating they want to start doing surgery on my right knee immediately for a malicious tear that I have.
The doctor was only in there I promise no more two minutes if that he came in he says MRI shows you need surgery. You have two knees with tears in them but here’s the thing my gut is telling me not to do it. I’m searching on UA-cam for all the hospitals and other doctors like videos like yourself, saying not to do it basically I’ve had people who’s had it and told me not to do it I’m 61 years old female and that has a concert. Also at the fair not doing it and I am doing stretches of exercise that’s meant for my knee unfortunately every time I go into physical therapy they want to charge me $50 so I can’t afford that going to her three times a week too much for me so I am trying to do stretches at home doing my bicycling very gently slowly and walking, so what are your thoughts? I know you can’t say yay or nay, without looking at the x-rays are they film but what are your thoughts on something like this make up is still just so you know no no but back of my mind is thinking if you don’t get this done, it’s going to get worse. I just don’t know what to do

are there any products you recommend for helping to heal a medial meniscus tear? Maybe a brace or something
Hey Patel! We generally encourage people to do as much as they can physically to help in recovering from any kind of meniscus tear. Although a brace might be helpful in regards to pain relief, it is only a short-term fix as it is not doing much to address the root problem that likely initially contributed to the meniscus issue.
With that being said, the product we suggest when dealing with a meniscus tear is our "Knee Meniscus Recovery Program. This program is designed to help people have the best chance of avoiding unnecessary surgery, injections, or having to rely on pain medications.
