Excellent, excellent video‼️ Post meniscectomy here. I am a very active, athletic person who trained her glutes for years and enjoyed perfect knee health. When I stopped doing glute training and instead began following the Starting💩Strength Method, within six short months, I had torn BOTH menisci. ☠️ Thanks to you, I now understand why. Today, I perform your knee exercises, and even though I had surgery on one knee less than 3 weeks ago and the other knee remains injured, I experience ZERO PAIN. 🎉 I simply cannot thank you enough, Dr. David ✨️
Thank you so much for putting all these videos up. I tore the meniscus in both knees after a hike 2 years ago and it lead to right knee needing a surgical repair 4 weeks ago. Each time I am on crutches (3rd time now - partial, and finally complete root tear), I go through the a rehab program but still couldn’t get knees back to my normal. I realised now I haven’t any glute muscles. I was doing clamshells with my quads! I’ve been spending the past weeks STUDYING what you’ve said in all your videos about meniscus care and recovery and it’s like finding pots of gold! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.
You are so educational. Now i feel better about why my meniscus is taking so long to heal! Although i also have some arthritis. Hoping to avoid any surgery!
What is best position to rest your knee. Straight or bent. Or elevated. Mine hurt. Think its arthritis or muscle or tendon. Not sure. Pretty flexible but if do too much can hurt but if inactive it hurts 🤷🏻♀️
I did no. 4: I overstretched my knee. Any way to tell the status of the suture on my median meniscus? Knee's not swolen, sometimes warm for a few minutes. I still can bend it without any blocking. I sometimes feel my knee working inside when in stretched position

Hi Clara, We understand your fear as it can be intimidating to get back to your regular exercise routine after surgery, especially if you have been having any sort of complications.

There is mild degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, and diffuse posterior disc bulges at C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7. 3. There is mild central canal spinal stenosis at C3-C4 and mild to moderate neural foraminal stenosis bilaterally. 4. There is very mild central canal spinal stenosis at C4-C5 and moderate neural foraminal stenosis bilaterally worse on the left. 5. There is moderate neural foraminal stenosis bilaterally at C5-C6. 6. There is mild right and moderate left neural foraminal stenosis at C6-C7. My Doctor's concern has been the moderate findings, but he does not recommend surgery.

My torn meniscus is inoperable. It is behind my left knee and doesn’t have enough blood flow for surgery. After months of physical therapy, I was able to straighten the surrounding muscles. I go to a local free “Bone Balance” exercise class twice a week. I did nothing to injure it, it just went bad. I will never skate again. It’s impossible to even attempt a cross over. Good luck and never lose hope.
Hey, would appreciate if you could give me a medium to get in contact with you. I just turned 18 in October and I’ve been suffering from a knee problem for months now (Meniscus/MCL region), went to different doctors but they claim it’s an inflammation and the treatment they gave hasn’t worked. Been doing my own personal research and it could be a moderate MCL tear but or a medial Meniscus Tear. would love to get a competent professional’s view on this issue. Thanks

It’s almost a year since the meniscus repairment, I still have fear to run. I have been using a stationery cycle.

no brace, no surgery plus fasting = healing 3-4 times faster
I started taking collagen. Added glucosamine and shark cartilage, pain is leaving.
Was it a radial tear (on inner part of meniscus?) if so how far through the meniscus did it extend?
