Two plad shirts? What a pair, good advice just the same. Update: after watching this video one year ago I've healed my torn meniscus, I was patient, changed my diet, juiced carrots and veggies which I was told would help, lost weight, did not load my knee by lifting and overwork. Im 67 and the doctor recommended a new knee! But im amazed that it healed, I also prayed and asked God to heal my knee. He did. Thanks plad guys
So glad I found your channel. Had left knee pain for 2 months now...some days there's pain and some days no pain at all. I'm seeing an orthopedic doctor soon so I hope he can find out what's wrong.
I was recommended surgery and didn't take it on. Started physio, but listening to You gives Me hope to believe that's it's more than the meniscus. It came out of nowhere!

@@competitiveprogramming316 I totally HEAR You and can relate to how frustrating and depressing it can be.

I think I'd rather try literally anything else than paying to have a chunk of my knee's cartilage removed with the added bonus of an increased risk of arthritis.
These Doctors are God given doctors. Totally Honest and Patriot in Heart. 💕 Some doctors will have just ur cash even though they know there's a another way to do it ryt.
My take is torn meniscus really only “needs” surgery if you have reduced motion in your knee. Like it gets locked into place because some torn cartilage is causing the knee to be stuck. Other than that, keep that cartilage in place and just do what you have to do for relief, because removing the cartilage will eventually lead to arthritis, which then will require a knee replacement. I have a meniscus tear, and sometimes it’s not certain if the pain is the tear or tight muscles (hip, groin, quad, ham, calf). So I just stretch all of them, use the hot tub, and then get a lot of sleep. And the pain tends to go away.
Hi I recently got the news of meniscus. Still waiting for my Dr to tell me what kind. But it’s a tear so my question to you is this considered cartilage? I want to know can it heal and grow back on its own?
Depends on the grade of the tear and how it happened. I've a traumatic injury to the medial meniscus. Grade 3 tears tend not to be stable. Im going to give it a few months before I decide on surgery.Only issue is the knee clicks like hell from the tear. If i need to I will get a meniscus cadaver in my knee and that will buy me 10 more years. After that its a partial knee which last about 15 and after that a full knee 20 . But I think with advancements in medical tech and bio tech and gene therapy will allow total regeneration of joints in the next 20 years. In 30 years can you imagine what theyl be able to do.
I have a torn acl, pcl, and shattered meniscus from bmx riding in a local skate park. It happened at age 17 and I'm now 35. I'm wrery about how I flex my knee and I don't run much anymore. A doc claimed that I'd heal naturally, however, it shifts on occasion. It will never heal on it's own, and without surgery it will continue to be an issue. I'm not sure of the intent of this video, but I can say that meniscus injuries are nothing to ignore.
grateful for this video. ive had 3 knee surgeries and 2 of them being acl recon. i started a new massage therapy job a few weeks ago and my knee has been giving me a hell of a time and in my painful panic of old trauma i was worried i need surgery again. i know i dont, thank you for reminding me.

I’ve had something similar but it’s my hips that was causing my knee pain and I was overloading my left knee because of it. A few stretches later that same day I was feeling tonnes better it comes and goes that’s how I know it’s not torn and it accumulated over several months
Had meniscus surgery at 50 years old 6 months ago. It was the worst decision of my life . Now i have clicking/popping in knee area which i never had before. Also the pain isn't gone. Did PT for 5 months and back at square one. Now only options looks to be gel shots or PRP . Just an absolute disaster . Have no idea how to get rid of the popping/clicking which i never had before the surgery .

@@seemamakkar-tl7ht I did nothing to it. The only thing I can't do is long distance running anymore, otherwise it hasn't slowed me down. I still go for a few mile brisk walks, lift weights and work out. I can feel it every now and then but doesn't really bother me.
Здравствуйте! У меня такая же проблема! Год уже хромаю болит! А до этого был большим любителем бега! И сейчас вообще не могу бегать. Неужели больше мы с вами не сможем бегать. А сам я как раз любил бегать именно длинные дистанции
I live in the uk. My surgery is not seeing patients in person, so I was diagnosed over the phone. I was given the option to have an MRI which could take up to 2 months or my Doctor said he could refer me to a consultant. I chose to see a consultant and have an apt for 18th May, so that will be 6 weeks before anyone even takes a look at it.
Hi Tracy, I’ve had a knee injury for 5 months and have decided to refer myself for a private consultation, very expensive but the NHS is so backed up and I’m still waiting for an X-ray result ( which probably show anything) for the last 4 weeks. I did pay for 4 physio sessions which helped but didn’t fix, I am now walking better and not hobbling, but can’t walk far.Good luck with yours, I hope it’s not too serious.
@@janegreen9340 I got an X-Ray quickly but it is likely it will only indicate if you have some form of arthritus by measuring the gap between the bones. A MRI is best but will take longer as it is in great demand.
I would love to see a doctor like you but I live in Barcelona Spain so I don’t think it will be possible. Could you recommend someone here or indicate what I should look for. What type of Dr? What type of training, certification…. I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can give me. Thank you.
look for a physio that works independently from hospitals, the government, physicians groups or insurance. They will have the most time and resources to dedicate to your injury healing process
I have different experience. Injured my meniscus 6 months ago, pain started on the other side. MRI confirmed injury with osteoarthritis. Tried PT and time now i Am 3 weeks after surgery pain free.

not all ACL tears require surgery. it really depends on your activities and desired activities. If you are a professional soccer player, most probably yes, you should get a repair. If you lift weights and run, probably not necessary, but it all depends on your situation and I can't make a personal recommendation without seeing you in person
Hi. I’m scared stiff. Had mri scan and diagnose is torn meniscus. No knee pain as such unless I kneel down on hard floor. But when out running or walking my knee gives way and I fall down. I’ve had some serious injuries following these accidents, now I’m afraid because they said knee could give out anytime and I would die . Do I need surgery?
LOL, I knew someone must have already commented about this. I was like "wait, did plaid shirt guy #1 just say 'great' about my torn meniscus????" I couldn't quite figure out what part of having a torn meniscus was "great".
Im seeking a professional or semi professional opinion.... I got into a motorcycle accident and am scheduled for MRIs and Dr says ill most likely need to be worked on... Is it true or false that if I can move/flex my knee in the direction that requires meniscus or MCL tension, that it's safe to say it's not a grade 3 tear? I know they want my insurence money, but I would much rather heal naturally over time and care... During the stress test when pushing from the outside of my right knee, it bends inward towards my left knee, but I can also stand on it with a cruch and even flex it in that direction...
hey James, without seeing you in person here in our clinic, it's impossible for me to give you a personal recommendation or opinion, however, I can say that not all meniscus tears or ACL tears need to be "fixed". It all depends on your level of activity and the nature of the injury. when someone is scheduled for a knee surgery, the best outcomes are physical therapy first and getting them to a point that they don't feel like they need the surgery. Then at that time you can decide if the surgery is beneficial. My best advice is to get a 2nd and even 3rd opinion from someone who's not a surgeon, such as a doctor of physical therapy. You can check our directory of out of network PT's who will likely spend a good hour with you here www.cashptdirectory.com/ and our broader PT directory here www.everypt.com/
I got a ACL recon in January, find out that my meniscus still has a bucket handle tear. It’ll lock up which is painful randomly. Needless to say, going back in might be my option. 😠
I have torn meniscus on both knees. Not in pain at all. I am able to move however can’t extend fully (left knee is the problem child) Received steroids injections today, hopefully it will work.
How long after meniscus injury can I walk on my bad leg? I hurt my knee during skiing on Friday. Went to ER on Saturday. I’m waiting to see Ortho and get mri. Er doc said use crutches and brace. I started walking on it 5 steps at a time to see if I can tolerate it. Is this ok? Or should I use crutches until mri
I like your physical therapy concept. I like to ride 70 miles on a bike but since I developed a complex tear to my medial meniscus have been unable to do this. I had an X-Ray & 2 MRI scans, arthritus was not diagnosed but in addition I have a 1 inch cyst that varies in size on the inside of the knee. Whatever I do the condition has not improved in 2 years & I am waiting for a second opinion from a consultant who has a good track record with meniscus repairs. Do you think a repair is the way to go or would physical therapy be of help?
This makes since I hurt my back sciatica and week later it started go away now I have torn meniscus from walking funny with sciatic;(. Is the knee pain connected to my back pain?
I had an MRI however my doctor sent me to therapy first before I had my MRI and I was doing well except they had me do deep squats that killed me so I had to stop the deep squats obviously then I have my MRI come to find out I have two tears in my meniscus and posterior one medium at the route Water in the knee no cartilage under my kneecap stage three and four and slight hairline fracture of the tibia
Doctor told u to do deep squats and you did it? Some doctors intentionally tell us to do it or they will do some agreesive testing before mri to make the meniscus tear big. So that they can go for the surgery straight
I hope you feel better 👍 & Get rid of that So called doctor...yes therapy is good but only like water aerobics, stretches, light body exercises, no pressure on your leg...I torn my meniscus twice...I had a small arthroscopy and they mended it back I use to get the clicking, now I have re torn it due to extreme sports, may God bless Us all 😁 good luck
when I flex my knee at 45 degrees and then try to extend it I get a catching sensation at the posterior medial knee. when I wrap my hands around my thigh just above the knee and put pressure to the back of my thigh specifically the medial tendon the knee un locks. Almost feels like there is a tendon catching or snapping across I used a seated hamstring flex/ext machine at the gym for the first time in many years and I think the setting had both my knees slightly hyper-extended I just did one set with not very heavy weight but the next day I had this problem. 90 degrees whether open or closed chain I have no issue only about 45 degrees, any thoughts?
I have had a torn meniscus for 30 years. It doesn't heal itself. MRI confirmed mine so I know its not my ankle or my hip. Surgery is required to gain full function of the knee. I am very lucky mine has not torn any further. It hurts though, every day.
I got surgery myself 1 week ago, I’m feeling much better already just, I’m not trying to do squats yet but as a right now I’m walking normal and going up and down the steps.
I have a meniscus tear ,4 months back I fell down ..until 3 months i was recovering and suddenly I started getting more pain ..now again difficult to walk .. Will my miniscus tear cure and when will be back to normal please reply
Здравствуйте сочувствую вам. И у меня точно такая же проблема стало в одно время лучше потом опять плохо.скажите пожалуйста как у вас сейчас дела с ногой?
I got hit by a car while crossing a crosswalk.. and they said I have a TM.. I had no knee issues ever and now, I I have this burning feeling IN my knee and soreness. And it sucks!! I haven’t been able to attempt running in two months..
I just found out I have a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus and my knee is locked and I can't fully straighten my leg and my doctor said I needed surgery but I don't want to do surgery. Would physical therapy help to get my leg to straighten back out.
I'm sorry I don't really understand the logic of this I have pain in my knee right where my meniscus was torn is proven by ultrasound how is getting a full work up gonna help me and why would it be something else other than my knee that's hurting me I just I'm trying to understand the point of you that you're communicating here
i think the point they are making is that a torn meniscus doesn't always create pain or discomfort. After meniscus surgery some people still have the same pain so perhaps something else might be causing the pain.
@@fredflintstone8569 yes, that's exactly it. We can do an MRI of people without knee pain and still find tears in the meniscus. Sometimes it's a muscle referring pain to the knee and if we do an MRI we'll "find" something to operate on. Pain is complex.
Three days ago, while crawling on my knees on a hard surface for about a half hour doing a job, I felt sudden severe pain on left knee. I could stand without aggravating the pain. No pop sound, swelling, temperature or locking, just a feeling something was out of place and pain. I could stand with a hipper extended leg without pain but bending knee slightly forward while standing (as in walking) caused significant pain for a second. If continue the bend further, pain would disappear. I had full mobility without pain: leg up and down while in bed. Knees to chest and back down, legs away and back towards my body, and twisting foot, squat and back up was fine, except this very small spot in the range of motion of bending or pushing my leg forward slightly as in the beginning of walking motion. Today, three days later, I almost feel no pain, but a tiny bit of it is still there, leg feels a tiny bit unstable but does not feel as unstable as an ACL tear, i did manipulate my leg to determine this and it seems quite solid, no loose movement that I can tell. I'll be seeing a doctor if not totally well in a few days, until then, what do you think? (BTW, I felt lateral pain on inside as I touch with my thumb about an inch away were leg bones meet (tibia Plateau?) quite dull strong pain to the touch).
Здравствуйте что вы решили с ногой? Ответьте пожалуйста! У меня такая же проблема я Вас очень понимаю. После приседаний такое пошло год уже хромаю а амплитуда движений полная всё как у вас скажите как вы?
I disagree. The surgery is the correct approach for fixing everything. 3 months daily Physiotherapy will fix the overall movement issues and prepare you for the long term. The costs will be less due to prevention. The time is not on your side.
that depends on your perspective. it's less invasive than a knee replacement, but it's still "invasive" and could cause blood clots, infections, loss of sensation, loss of activity and it might not "fix" the real issue :-D
I tore my meniscus at age 65 . I cured it by eating HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN. I was not able to even walk. After 3-4 months of collagen , I started feeling less pain and was able to start light exercise and sports. After 7 months I was able to start playing tennis, squash and hockey again at a lesser intensity and now at age 74 I am playing these sports again with the same intensity as before with just the natural degree of slowing down due to my age. Surgery cures NOTHING
@@poccagirl1703 I cured it by eating HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, which is a refined form of GELATIN, which is easier to absorb and which makes it bioavailable. Once a day, a teaspoon in my morning coffee. Another supportive measure which I used and which is recommended by numerous therapists on UA-cam is to SWING your leg using weights on your ankles which creates traction, separation and space and allows curative blood circulation to enter an area which has little blood supply. I understand that the shape and location of the tear also has a lot to do with the prospects of success and there is no consensus on what shape of tear is most responsive...so all you can do is try. Surgery cures nothing, it just removes debris. Good luck
I love that 'surgery is not necessarily routine for anyone except the person(s) operating on You.'

I have no pain but there is swelling down into my calf. This has been going on for about 18 months after my fall and diagnosis. .
Thank for ur advice it means a lot to me bcs I was thinking of doing operation
How long after meniscus injury can I walk on my bad leg? I hurt my knee during skiing on Friday. Went to ER on Saturday. I’m waiting to see Ortho and get mri. Er doc said use crutches and brace.
I started walking on it 5 steps at a time to see if I can tolerate it. Is this ok? Or should I use crutches until mri
Hey Amy, sorry for my delayed reply. Would love an update on your condition and if you have any other questions
I like your physical therapy concept. I like to ride 70 miles on a bike but since I developed a complex tear to my medial meniscus have been unable to do this. I had an X-Ray & 2 MRI scans, arthritus was not diagnosed but in addition I have a 1 inch cyst that varies in size on the inside of the knee. Whatever I do the condition has not improved in 2 years & I am waiting for a second opinion from a consultant who has a good track record with meniscus repairs. Do you think a repair is the way to go or would physical therapy be of help?

This really helped me. Hope it helps you as well.
Здравствуйте! У меня такая-же же проблема! Второй год болит хромаю! Скажите пожалуйста как вы сейчас? Вы решили проблему? Делали операцию или нет?
This makes since I hurt my back sciatica and week later it started go away now I have torn meniscus from walking funny with sciatic;(. Is the knee pain connected to my back pain?
I was told mine was directly related.
I had an MRI however my doctor sent me to therapy first before I had my MRI and I was doing well except they had me do deep squats that killed me so I had to stop the deep squats obviously then I have my MRI come to find out I have two tears in my meniscus and posterior one medium at the route Water in the knee no cartilage under my kneecap stage three and four and slight hairline fracture of the tibia
Wow! Unbelievable they had you to do PT. I hope you feel better soon.
Deep squats is the last thing someone should do with a torn meniscus. In most cases you don't even want to squat past about 60* at the most.
Doctor told u to do deep squats and you did it? Some doctors intentionally tell us to do it or they will do some agreesive testing before mri to make the meniscus tear big. So that they can go for the surgery straight
I hope you feel better 👍 & Get rid of that So called doctor...yes therapy is good but only like water aerobics, stretches, light body exercises, no pressure on your leg...I torn my meniscus twice...I had a small arthroscopy and they mended it back I use to get the clicking, now I have re torn it due to extreme sports, may God bless Us all 😁 good luck
How are you doing now?
Thank you sooo much!! Im sorry but i have to add: Simon & Garfunkel ;)
when I flex my knee at 45 degrees and then try to extend it I get a catching sensation at the posterior medial knee. when I wrap my hands around my thigh just above the knee and put pressure to the back of my thigh specifically the medial tendon the knee un locks. Almost feels like there is a tendon catching or snapping across
I used a seated hamstring flex/ext machine at the gym for the first time in many years and I think the setting had both my knees slightly hyper-extended I just did one set with not very heavy weight but the next day I had this problem. 90 degrees whether open or closed chain I have no issue only about 45 degrees, any thoughts?
I have had a torn meniscus for 30 years. It doesn't heal itself. MRI confirmed mine so I know its not my ankle or my hip. Surgery is required to gain full function of the knee. I am very lucky mine has not torn any further. It hurts though, every day.
I got surgery myself 1 week ago, I’m feeling much better already just, I’m not trying to do squats yet but as a right now I’m walking normal and going up and down the steps.
Thanks a lot guys,....I think I I torn meniscus after that SI joint injury......

I just found out I have a bucket handle tear in my medial meniscus and my knee is locked and I can't fully straighten my leg and my doctor said I needed surgery but I don't want to do surgery. Would physical therapy help to get my leg to straighten back out.
It might pop back, but if it's from the part with poor bloodflow, it will never stabilize and will continue to pop out.
I just want to be able to roller skate again
Your information please
Knee I jury....knee muktiole tear ligament
Nancy Kerrigan lol you went there
Yep! 😂
Did physio for a year , off to surgery now 😳
Sometime surgery is needed and physical therapy should always fine the first stop. You did the right thing. 🙌
Funny Nancy Kerrigan attack 1:31
I'm sorry I don't really understand the logic of this I have pain in my knee right where my meniscus was torn is proven by ultrasound how is getting a full work up gonna help me and why would it be something else other than my knee that's hurting me I just I'm trying to understand the point of you that you're communicating here
good point
i think the point they are making is that a torn meniscus doesn't always create pain or discomfort. After meniscus surgery some people still have the same pain so perhaps something else might be causing the pain.
@@fredflintstone8569 yes, that's exactly it. We can do an MRI of people without knee pain and still find tears in the meniscus. Sometimes it's a muscle referring pain to the knee and if we do an MRI we'll "find" something to operate on. Pain is complex.
@@LeBauerPT Isn't there a study that shows that results post surgery and post placebo surgery were the same?
@@johng2880 probably.
Looks like the Adventures of Pete and Pete took them to med school!
Three days ago, while crawling on my knees on a hard surface for about a half hour doing a job, I felt sudden severe pain on left knee. I could stand without aggravating the pain. No pop sound, swelling, temperature or locking, just a feeling something was out of place and pain. I could stand with a hipper extended leg without pain but bending knee slightly forward while standing (as in walking) caused significant pain for a second. If continue the bend further, pain would disappear. I had full mobility without pain: leg up and down while in bed. Knees to chest and back down, legs away and back towards my body, and twisting foot, squat and back up was fine, except this very small spot in the range of motion of bending or pushing my leg forward slightly as in the beginning of walking motion. Today, three days later, I almost feel no pain, but a tiny bit of it is still there, leg feels a tiny bit unstable but does not feel as unstable as an ACL tear, i did manipulate my leg to determine this and it seems quite solid, no loose movement that I can tell. I'll be seeing a doctor if not totally well in a few days, until then, what do you think? (BTW, I felt lateral pain on inside as I touch with my thumb about an inch away were leg bones meet (tibia Plateau?) quite dull strong pain to the touch).
Здравствуйте что вы решили с ногой? Ответьте пожалуйста! У меня такая же проблема я Вас очень понимаю. После приседаний такое пошло год уже хромаю а амплитуда движений полная всё как у вас скажите как вы?
"You may have a torn Meniscus, great!" ...ehm no it's not that great thank you actually. I rather not having it but good video :P .
"great" as in, you're watching the right video ;-D
Partial meninsectomy is a disaster ... orthopeadic surgeons know it is a disaster ... I have had it done ... I regret it everyday of my life
check out sujok therapy for knee pain, Its magical and simple.
Pro therapy?
Easy for you to say. You are not going through this pain.
I disagree. The surgery is the correct approach for fixing everything. 3 months daily Physiotherapy will fix the overall movement issues and prepare you for the long term. The costs will be less due to prevention. The time is not on your side.
Funny Nancy
It’s fairly noninvasive surgery to have a torn manicus.
that depends on your perspective. it's less invasive than a knee replacement, but it's still "invasive" and could cause blood clots, infections, loss of sensation, loss of activity and it might not "fix" the real issue :-D
I was told 2 crutches for 4 weeks and a single crutch for 2 weeks as a recovery. I call 6 weeks of not being able to function invasive.
Yea right! Bs
I tore my meniscus at age 65 . I cured it by eating HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN.
I was not able to even walk. After 3-4 months of collagen , I started feeling less pain and was able to start light exercise and sports. After 7 months I was able to start playing tennis, squash and hockey again at a lesser intensity and now at age 74 I am playing these sports again with the same intensity as before with just the natural degree of slowing down due to my age.
Surgery cures NOTHING
Where did you get the hydrolyzed collegen
What type or where was your meniscus tear?
Hi need your advice please! I just got the news of a meniscus tear.
@@poccagirl1703 I cured it by eating HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN, which is a refined form of GELATIN, which is easier to absorb and which makes it bioavailable. Once a day, a teaspoon in my morning coffee.
Another supportive measure which I used and which is recommended by numerous therapists on UA-cam is to SWING your leg using weights on your ankles which creates traction, separation and space and allows curative blood circulation to enter an area which has little blood supply.
I understand that the shape and location of the tear also has a lot to do with the prospects of success and there is no consensus on what shape of tear is most responsive...so all you can do is try. Surgery cures nothing, it just removes debris.
Good luck
During the initial 3/4 months after the tear. Did u go for walk or take rest? I have a medial meniscus tear n have pain while walking
Surgery is last resort. Never go see a surgeon.
Full of BS
Rubbish, just beating about the bush
