He did an xray cause he had to show insurance nothing was there for the mri. So it's definitely not arthritis.

But have all the symptoms of a tear.

Damn Sfla I hope it's not too bad for you to work around(lightly or like Viking mentioned!

I hate to hear that Sfla80. My wife tore hers. Do you hear a clicking sound when you bend your knee? If you do, that's the sound of the portion of your meniscus that's torn rolling up on your kneecap. If it is torn, you need to have it scoped or that sob will give you fits from now on! Not much of any blood flow to the meniscus. But if it's a small tear he might be able to just trim that part off, you will be alright with what's left. If he has to sow it. Healing takes a about 6-8 weeks. With plenty of rehab. Good luck man.

I've removed all the meniscus on my right knee with arthroscopy in 2011 after an injury i had in 2000.Now I've no pain or any kind of problem,but if i do squats or if i have to jump,then i have weird feeling on my knee,discomfort,it looks like my knee will break!
In few years,probably arthritis will be formed in that knee,cuz meniscus is a shock absorber! So if you have to go through surgery,arthroscopy is piece of cake,i could walk after 2 days,and run after 3-4 weeks!

**Sfla80** · 01-19-2016, 04:02 PM

Mr freshmaker....thanks. walking after two days sounds better then what I thought it would be.

Strongblood. I don't necessarily hear a clicking..I was gonna ask the doc this question but he was in and out. Honestly didn't even explain anything to me put on a short video explaining it. Which I had all symptoms

What I do get, it's like "knuckle cracking" but in the knee and happens quiet often....samething??

Do this every day for two weeks and see how this helps.

I use 2 lacrosse balls for my back. Excellent choice.

Depending on location of tear, maybe able to put a stitch in it plus other poss solutions mentioned by Viking!

When I went in for my MRI it was completely unrelated to the meniscus, actually both times it was. I got the added surprise of partial tears in both, but both were on the outer part of the horn that does receive blood flow so that healing could take place.

Read this link, it will help you understand the meniscus and how blood flows, and doesn't flow like kel said, to parts of the potential injured area.

It works well for my tendinitis, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything for my shoulder, deeper issue. But my elbow feels good. Going to not lift this week and give it time. Never knew about bloat, Im still handsom no matter what

10 min warmup elliptical

45 sec plank hold
Tricep pull down. (I intended to do arms but gym crawling with ppl so I switched to legs)
Seated calf raises
Ab and ad ductor
Gluteus machine
High step low lunge (killer)
Standing leg press
Squats (could not get in earlier. Chest in squat rack

)
Sumo squats
Seated leg curls
Hip thrusts on ball 40 lbs. killer.
20 minutes of yoga

All 3 sets 12 reps except squats and sumo for 4 sets. Weights are low but expected.

My assessment is muscle loss in quads, hamstrings, biceps, back, tri, shoulder, chest and stomach. Calves are good. LoL.

I have work to do.

Cardio tomorrow!

Thanks for sharing this, Girly! I was thinking about Epsom salt but I'll opt for the Dead Sea salts... Seems better from what your describing.
