I have some issues with my knee buckling. All of my joints are kinda a problem. But, my main concern at this point is my shoulder pain. I just keep watching the videos that come up from this guy because I just love how he explains everything in a logical way and seems like he Really knows what he’s talking about.
I had a meniscus tear that was removed in 1998, when I was 21 years old. Arthritis, and eventually, a TKR wasn't needed until 2019. Pretty successful procedure, I'd say. Now I'm preparing for another meniscutomy for my other knee that is still arthritis-free. Hope it lasts as long as the other knee. Thanks for the video.
Aloha, thank you for explaining the workings of the leg that effects the meniscus. I just had surgery to repair my meniscus root repair. I somehow pulled the whole root out on the inner part of my left knee and they also did a lot of shavings and sewing of the knee and cartilage. A lot was done and now I’m in the 7 week. This helps me understand the feelings of tightness, pain, stiffness,swelling. So appreciate you. 😊
Thankyou! I’m two months out from meniscus surgery and still have a lot of pain usually when I first wake up. This video gave me a couple areas I’ve not been paying enough attention to. 👍
Thank you. I hope the doctors, lawyers and other professionals are like you who have passion for their career not just doing for money. Do what you like to do, and you will be above all of us.
I’m from El Paso I wish my surgeon from Austin would have mentioned this to me. I’m doing my exercise from an arthroscopic surgery. If I feel it hurts I stop and I listen to my knee pain. How do I do the glute exercise? I was trying to find the video on your link. I’m so glad I ran into a video like this. Thank you.
Nice explanation. My question is when exactly we start exercises to strengthen knee. I had surgery today and doctor told me to put weight, walk normally, use stairs. No need to rest. Now i am confused what to do

I live in a 2 story split-level house and walk up and down stairs multiple times during the course of the day.

I was a Muay Thai practioner, weight lifter and cyclist prior to my meniscus surgery. And my meniscus tear wasn't caused by my sports, my tear was caused by my Job.
I had my right meniscus surgery back in March 24, 2012. My surgeon (who is now deceased since 2022) had removed all the tissue out of my right knee. I would therapy with a couple of therapists who were kind of rude of wanting me to recover quickly in a few weeks instead of months. After eleven years I have been walking and running normally and I hated the fact that I have no muscle in my right knee, just bones rubbing together and stiffness which discouraged me. The only thing they gave me was blood transfusion and not a meniscal replacement or transplant, because that was only solution that available back then. I guess I just have to deal with my right knee having a hollow shape and different than my left knee. I don't want a knee replacement because it would be horrible situation. I tend to live with my current situation although I have bone on bone stiffness in my right knee when I bend, squat, kneel, slowly walking up and down stairs and sit difficultly in a lotus position every now and then. When I stand up straight, I would have wrinkles on my right knee because of missing meniscus muscles.

It been a year since my surgery and I started working out and my knee started to hurt just no swelling. It gets me annoyed be up I want to do more but I cant.
I had my meniscus surgery 4 months ago, and the physio is going well, however, just last week. Consistent clicking, popping, and grinding sounds have started. The pain in the knee restarted again while going up the stairs. Does this mean i have re injured my knee again? I plan to address this on my next physio visit, but i like your take on it. Any and all insights are welcomed.
Same ! Doctors keep blowing me off like it's not a problem smh I have filed a lawsuit with my job because no one wants to do a MRI Anthrogram an check it.

Thank you! Sadly this was a worker compensation injury so getting physical therapy right after my surgery hasn’t happened yet. I’m scared because already 10 days.. I try to gently do bit of exercise at home. But I can’t lift the knee yet. I will follow up your advice on not being on my feet.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy arthroscopic medial meniscus tear on knee. It seems to have stirred up arthritis in that knee i did not feel before Physio gave all regular exercises, Quad, hamstring, etc and then saw your videos. Always working on it but really bummed out! Wish your clinic was in Toronto.
Had meniscus surgery 2.5 months ago now. Have same pain down on inside of left knee (lower part). Hard to know what remedy is applicable. Am thinking if I should be taking course. If I did, how can I be sure, if `the course would work for me?
I am a year post surgery and my knee seems deformed and I have terrible pain in the calf of my leg.My Bakers cyst is also,inflamed.My doctor did not give me good advice for post surgery exercise and the PT I had made it worse.So sad I went with surgery and I don't know who to see.Orthosurgeon said I don't need knee replacement.Help!

Hey so this is off topic but I wanna say about 4 weeks ago I was pitching in a baseball game and as I threw my first slider of the game I felt almost like a pop in my should and my arm kinda went numb, I have some range of motion but still can’t throw what would you think it could be ? Please help ❤️❤️
Post surgery care is very important. We should not rush the healing process. It's five months since I had my surgery. Though I was able to walk in two days, the pain remained till four months. Only now I'm slowly able to walk normally and cycle. The doctors don't advise properly. Please consult a good physio. All the best.
I had meniscal surgery and was doing great at 2 weeks, then started PT which hurt my knee. At 5 weeks I was at the gym doing upper body weight lifting and stopped to do 10 minutes on the bicycle, no drag. Two days later I could hardly walk on my knee. Now two weeks later, the front of my knee hurts with sharp tearing like pain when I step on my leg. I am very athletic and never had arthritis before the surgery. I had issues with putting weight on the leg after a knee injury during skiing, which I ski all season. I am beginning to think I did the wrong thing in attempting to fix my knee to be able to ski again at an expert level on pack slopes. I am at 8 weeks now. I stopped doing PT after I injured my knee. Wondering if my knee will ever be any better.
@@frazerelliott800 I received a steroid shot the & improved enough to get more PT to where I went to being introduced to doing 20 squats(next step lunges) had to walk very carefully as my knee would go inward toward the knee infrequently hurting badly(Ortho said I had weak quads). 3 weeks ago, just did 20 reps of leaning against the wall lifting my toes. Did not hurt. BAM my knee swelled up big time the first time ever. I have elevated it, ice it, taken NSAIDs. The swelling has gone somewhat down, . but, I can't lift any weight on my lower leg or with that leg extended anymore. I have an apt to get another steroid injection next week. I am at six month past surgery. I have taken to walk with crutches because my knee is so stiff hurt with weight on it. I don't do any extra walking other than around the house. I hope with the steroid injection I can start again healing the knee. I have almost given up going skiing this year. I want to know where you are with your knee. Please respond back.
I had surgery for both my knees for torn meniscus, when I was about 20, now I’m 32yr and each time I play soccer it keeps getting swollen. So I throw in heat just like I was recommended and swelling goes away about 2 days. But I’m not sure how long I can keep this up for.. I don’t want to stop playing soccer but I’m just not sure what else to do…

Go on a Carnivore Diet, you can start with Keto and slowly add more meat. Carbs have GLUTENS & plants have toxins which cause inflammation which causes pain. Read No Gtain, No Pain by Dr Peter Osborne. He describes the different types of glutens, how they affect us and where in foods, condiments, skin care, etc they hide... Also, avoid seed oils like canola, corn, etc. Stick with butter for frying, sauteing and olive oil for low temps or salads if you still eat some greens... Watch Dr Chaffee and Dr Ken Berry for more info on the benefits of meat, bacon, eggs ,butter and cheese diet! Weight and cravings will drop off dramatically with seemingly no effort! All because the protein takes longer to digestive and won't spike your blood sugar, which eliminates cravings. You will be amazed at how good you're going to feel!😅🎉

Hello just want to comment on my situation. I had torn meniscus surgery almost 6 months ago but i still having pain from the inside of my right knee after i did all my therapy plus an injection my doctor sent me to go see a knee specialist and now the specialist it's telling me because the arthritis that i have on my knee the only option that i have is a knee replacement. I'm kind of concern now. Can anyone give me an advice now. Don't know what to do. Thanks..
Hey Marco, we are so sorry that you had to have meniscus surgery and that you are still experiencing pain. We understand how concerning that may be especially when the only option they gave you is to do a knee replacement surgery. Typically it is common for a meniscus surgery to take 6-12 months to heal completely: "Meniscus Pain Months AFTER Surgery? #shorts" ua-cam.com/video/6e6e0J30aHU/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared While we can't provide a specific diagnosis for you without an evaluation from one of our doctors, we can provide you with some general information that can help: “Knee Meniscus Surgery Help” ua-cam.com/play/PLJVIPiFvv1maIj5ge4oSQTqVs3RzwpqwV.html Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

Try taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate combo supplement to help rejuvenate the fluid sacs in the joints, combined with the videos exercises... They've worked great for me and my husband! A study was done comparing surgery to exercise by doing only an incision but not actual surgery on the other group. By doing the rehab exercises, they both had a good result. But, the group without surgery actually had better results! 😅🎉
It’s not a good surgery. I’ve had it. It did relieve a lot of crippling pain but not all. At that time I didn’t need knee replacement. The Pain had to be caused by arthritis. I was in discomfort until I received an injection of A2M (Alpha 2 Macroglobulin) which is known to heal arthritis. I received it at a regenerative place & Within 2 weeks I completely had no pain, and no pain for the next 2years! In later years I started taking omega 3 & antioxidants and exercising more. Being overweight or becoming overweight agrevates the knees. There are A2M offices all over country. Just get a well trained, Ortho to do it that has good experience using it & understands the knee operation.
Please give me advice for bucket handle meniscus, it needs to be done, but I am worried about the pain afterwards, and the recovery time. I’m six years old and I do have some in my knee, will I be limping forever? 😆
Děkuji jste skvělý, díky Vám jsem vyřešila bolest po operaci a celý problém.

Did you wear the knee brace all the time?am at my 15 days after meniscus surgery and still have pain.
Did you have repair, or did you have it removed? I have a bucket handle meniscus they told me it needs to be removed.
Thank you. I hope the doctors, lawyers and other professionals are like you who have passion for their career not just doing for money. Do what you like to do, and you will be above all of us.
Doctor David, your videos are absolutely excellent! You are one of the very few whose advice I trust.
Thank you. I was wondering why I was still having pain, especially at night. Will keep this info in mind.
Thank you for the information, I am in the 2nd week into surgery for my meniscus. I will take all your suggestions into my recovery.

I flatlined in knee surgery. Doctor and anesthesiologist didn't tell me. I stopped therapy and am doing exercises at home. Therapist was arrogant.
It been a year since my surgery and I started working out and my knee started to hurt just no swelling. It gets me annoyed be up I want to do more but I cant.
Could these reasons have contributed to a meniscus tear?
I have pain on both knees after Minusucus surgery even after 3 years.
I had my meniscus surgery 4 months ago, and the physio is going well, however, just last week. Consistent clicking, popping, and grinding sounds have started. The pain in the knee restarted again while going up the stairs. Does this mean i have re injured my knee again? I plan to address this on my next physio visit, but i like your take on it. Any and all insights are welcomed.
Same ! Doctors keep blowing me off like it's not a problem smh I have filed a lawsuit with my job because no one wants to do a MRI Anthrogram an check it.
I started rehab and feel like the physio is stretching way too hard, im at week 3 and swelling has gone up...
The left side of my left knee got less space, how do I fix it. I feel knee pain while walking and I 19 year only.
my physiotherapist is focusing on the VMO getting strength while focusing on the glutes
i had torn miniscus surgery dec 2022 and i’m in tremendous pain now i’m scared my knee will buckle where’s the link to the knee recovery program
Hey there, we have a couple of knee recovery programs that would be great for you! Of course the knee meniscus program would be the most applicable, which you can find here:
The Knee Meniscus Recovery Program is designed to help people have the best chance of avoiding unnecessary surgery, injections, or having to rely on pain medications. This course guides people through exercises and stretches that target key body parts that have the greatest potential to prevent or help with meniscus tears or trouble after meniscus surgery.

We also have another knee health and wellness program that would be great as well, but less targeted than the knee meniscus program. Here is a link for that:
The 28-Day Knee Health & Wellness Boost Program is designed to help people have the best chance of avoiding unnecessary surgery, injections, or having to rely on pain medications. This course guides people through exercises and stretches that target key body parts that have the greatest potential to prevent or help with knee conditions like osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ACL tears, ligament injuries, chondromalacia patella, cartilage problems and other knee conditions.To learn more please click this link:

I have nail patella syndrome, I just had a ligaments repair.. I don’t have no strength of any kind 😢
Sorry to hear that Magaly! Hopefully you can start to work on that so that it can improve!
Thank you! Sadly this was a worker compensation injury so getting physical therapy right after my surgery hasn’t happened yet. I’m scared because already 10 days.. I try to gently do bit of exercise at home. But I can’t lift the knee yet. I will follow up your advice on not being on my feet.
Wish i saw this 6 mos ago.
Hey Elizabeth, hopefully the problems you had have dissipated by now!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy arthroscopic medial meniscus tear on knee. It seems to have stirred up arthritis in that knee i did not feel before
Physio gave all regular exercises, Quad, hamstring, etc and then saw your videos.
Always working on it but really bummed out! Wish your clinic was in Toronto.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy just invested in your Recovery Program. Thanks for the hope you give.
Hey Elizabeth, we would love to hear an update of how this program works for you!
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy i will do that!
Had meniscus surgery 2.5 months ago now. Have same pain down on inside of left knee (lower part). Hard to know what remedy is applicable. Am thinking if I should be taking course. If I did, how can I be sure, if `the course would work for me?

Hey so this is off topic but I wanna say about 4 weeks ago I was pitching in a baseball game and as I threw my first slider of the game I felt almost like a pop in my should and my arm kinda went numb, I have some range of motion but still can’t throw what would you think it could be ? Please help ❤️❤️
I'm having surgery on June 3 . Is there anything. I should be doing right now ?
Post surgery care is very important. We should not rush the healing process. It's five months since I had my surgery. Though I was able to walk in two days, the pain remained till four months. Only now I'm slowly able to walk normally and cycle. The doctors don't advise properly. Please consult a good physio. All the best.
I had meniscal surgery and was doing great at 2 weeks, then started PT which hurt my knee. At 5 weeks I was at the gym doing upper body weight lifting and stopped to do 10 minutes on the bicycle, no drag. Two days later I could hardly walk on my knee. Now two weeks later, the front of my knee hurts with sharp tearing like pain when I step on my leg. I am very athletic and never had arthritis before the surgery. I had issues with putting weight on the leg after a knee injury during skiing, which I ski all season. I am beginning to think I did the wrong thing in attempting to fix my knee to be able to ski again at an expert level on pack slopes. I am at 8 weeks now. I stopped doing PT after I injured my knee. Wondering if my knee will ever be any better.
I had the same issue , how is it now?
@@frazerelliott800 I received a steroid shot the & improved enough to get more PT to where I went to being introduced to doing 20 squats(next step lunges) had to walk very carefully as my knee would go inward toward the knee infrequently hurting badly(Ortho said I had weak quads). 3 weeks ago, just did 20 reps of leaning against the wall lifting my toes. Did not hurt. BAM my knee swelled up big time the first time ever. I have elevated it, ice it, taken NSAIDs. The swelling has gone somewhat down, . but, I can't lift any weight on my lower leg or with that leg extended anymore. I have an apt to get another steroid injection next week. I am at six month past surgery. I have taken to walk with crutches because my knee is so stiff hurt with weight on it. I don't do any extra walking other than around the house. I hope with the steroid injection I can start again healing the knee. I have almost given up going skiing this year. I want to know where you are with your knee. Please respond back.
@@frazerelliott800 How did you finally heal? I eat a couple tangerines, take vit c, took zinc,
They cut too much cartilage away and now my knee is bone on bone= pain
I was told by a nurse who had the surgery and why they wanted you to have the surgery…. to prepare you for knee replacement!!
How are you doing now? Is there still pain?
I had surgery for both my knees for torn meniscus, when I was about 20, now I’m 32yr and each time I play soccer it keeps getting swollen. So I throw in heat just like I was recommended and swelling goes away about 2 days. But I’m not sure how long I can keep this up for.. I don’t want to stop playing soccer but I’m just not sure what else to do…

Hello sir ....i got acl and meniscus surgery 8 months ago......my knee dont get swell after exercise but yes it pains ..but bearable...since i give my self 2 days gap after another gym session the pain is gone ..not fully but enough so that i can perform exercises again .....just after exercises ... i feel no pain ....but pain occur after 3-4 hrs.....but my main concern is the pop up sound coming from.my knee whenever i fully extend my knee like standing or doing leg extensions ...but that sound stops just after gym session for 3-4 hrs
...why is it making sound ?.....one thing more...i had surgery 2 year after tear ...my muscles were weak then after surgery my leg has half muscles of other leg ...and after workout i have seen growth of my quads but my other leg(not operated one )is becoming more stronger than operated on ...what should i do for that ?
Work the weak leg more!
I had meniscus tear repair about a week ago and I have pain now in my calf and behind my knee so bad. What is this all about??
You may have a blood clot in your calf. Please please take a pinch of cayenne pepper ( the spice) a few times a day. It could save your life!
I'm overweight+ not full range of motion which is causing me knee locking. what should i do?
Go on a Carnivore Diet, you can start with Keto and slowly add more meat. Carbs have GLUTENS & plants have toxins which cause inflammation which causes pain.
Read No Gtain, No Pain by Dr Peter Osborne. He describes the different types of glutens, how they affect us and where in foods, condiments, skin care, etc they hide...
Also, avoid seed oils like canola, corn, etc. Stick with butter for frying, sauteing and olive oil for low temps or salads if you still eat some greens...
Watch Dr Chaffee and Dr Ken Berry for more info on the benefits of meat, bacon, eggs ,butter and cheese diet! Weight and cravings will drop off dramatically with seemingly no effort! All because the protein takes longer to digestive and won't spike your blood sugar, which eliminates cravings. You will be amazed at how good you're going to feel!😅🎉

Hello just want to comment on my situation. I had torn meniscus surgery almost 6 months ago but i still having pain from the inside of my right knee after i did all my therapy plus an injection my doctor sent me to go see a knee specialist and now the specialist it's telling me because the arthritis that i have on my knee the only option that i have is a knee replacement.
I'm kind of concern now.
Can anyone give me an advice now.
Don't know what to do.
Thanks..
Hey Marco, we are so sorry that you had to have meniscus surgery and that you are still experiencing pain. We understand how concerning that may be especially when the only option they gave you is to do a knee replacement surgery. Typically it is common for a meniscus surgery to take 6-12 months to heal completely:

Start with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity. As you feel stronger, you can gradually increase both the range of motion and intensity. It’s best to do these exercises every day throughout the day. Aim to tire out the muscle without losing form or control. Consistency is key. Always avoid working through pain; soreness and mild discomfort are normal, but pain is not.with one or two exercises, beginning with the smallest range of motion and the lowest intensity.

Try taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulfate combo supplement to help rejuvenate the fluid sacs in the joints, combined with the videos exercises... They've worked great for me and my husband!
A study was done comparing surgery to exercise by doing only an incision but not actual surgery on the other group. By doing the rehab exercises, they both had a good result. But, the group without surgery actually had better results! 😅🎉

Hello doc. I’ve had surgery 10 months ago and I still have some pain that doesn’t let me walk normally, what should I do?
Hello. Do you still experience the pain? What actions did you take?
I have also facing same problem
Hi, it must have been quite some time since you did the surgery. Do you still have any pains?
Please update what you did for the pain. How is the pain right now? Is it sudden pain or because of anything you do?
I don’t want to get surgery, I got a complex tear… what are my chances that I’ll be able to go without surgery. Asking for a firefighter
It’s not a good surgery. I’ve had it. It did relieve a lot of crippling pain but not all. At that time I didn’t need knee replacement. The Pain had to be caused by arthritis. I was in discomfort until I received an injection of A2M (Alpha 2
Macroglobulin) which is known to heal arthritis. I received it at a regenerative place & Within 2 weeks I completely had no pain, and no pain for the next 2years! In later years I started taking omega 3 & antioxidants and exercising more. Being overweight or becoming overweight agrevates the knees.
There are A2M offices all over country. Just get a well trained, Ortho to do it that has good experience using it & understands the knee operation.
I drink water in kilos
I'd be very surprised if you even have a shitty study to support the "drink enough water" claim.
Please give me advice for bucket handle meniscus, it needs to be done, but I am worried about the pain afterwards, and the recovery time. I’m six years old and I do have some in my knee, will I be limping forever? 😆
