Meniscus Tears by Dr. Allan Mishra

[TAJIKROCKS]

A month ago I was standing on the rubber mat on which my feet were kinda locked because it doesn't slip like on the wet floor. I tried to grab an item from the table which was behind me and that time I didn't lift my leg so twisted it lightly.. It didn't hurt I wasn't in pain but it got kinda loose or maybe that was just my panic imagination. It is not hurting and not swelling at all. I walk and even run. BUT I am scared that it can come out later... Pls give advice me if u know what is that?

dr i had acl surgery 4 months ago as meniscus too

my meniscus hurts when i bend knee

and when i bend knee through pain it pops loud and pain goes away

is dat ok ? will dat go away? pls respond me

[drdavidsundy]

I repair most mensiscus injuries by hand even if their MRI shows severe damage. Many people on crutches or in wheel chairs are walking unassisted after three office visits even when their MRI shows multiple ligament partial tears. If a patient were to fail to respond quickly to my care (within 3 office visits), I would refer them to an Orthopedist for a surgical consult. I have been developing this procedure for over 10 years, and I'm preparing for a 150 patient study.

Do u have to wear a brace after surgery

[brousseaua]

I have a miniscus tear in the right knee but also I have osteonecrosis in that knee and have a hole in my knee, which is clearly shown on the x-ray. The ortho MD I have said I need a partial knee replaceent on that right one. The left one is also a mess with fraying of the miniscus - that MRI was done about 3 years go so we will get an updated one. I am used to the pain, but, sometimes it is too much, yourknow? I go in late summer for Arthroscopic surgery. Happy times!

Hi, just stumbled on this website. Today got a letter from the hospital to say the left knee injury I suffered five months ago shows up on the MRI scan as "bucket handle tear posterior horn of the medial meniscus with a Baker's cyst" (quite a mouthful!).

Told I need to return to hospital to discuss surgical intervention. Can anyone out there tell me if surgery will prevent me driving a car (with clutch) for how long roughly? Thanks, John.

[1Prayerwarrior22]

@Johnnydadams I'm going in for surgery on Wednesday and they told me not to drive at all for about 3-4 weeks

[Johnnydadams]

@1Prayerwarrior22 Thanks for letting me know. I wish you all the very best for Wednesday. Please let me know how it went and how you are recovering. John Adams, London.

Hi, Doctor  I was playing cricket in jan and I heared a popping sound in my knee , I went with the RICE formula and it worked for me . bt then again it popped up in March , I again rested it for 1 week and it was healed , it happened to me now for the third time in May. I have visit the orthopaedic its a meniscus tear ,surgery . I am 25 male in sydney and I wanted to know that what are the post surgery results, my work includes standing and a normal walking ????

[dominic118]

God - oh yea i'll just put something that wont heal naturally inside the most important joint in the body

Gods friend - You de man god! "high fives god and lights up a big fat joint"

[tippuss]

does it hurt after the surgery ? ;-(

[Du57yx91630n5]

@tippuss no, its mostly numb on the knee but you'll most likely be able to walk around the recovery room and dress yourself, I mean I did. extending isn't the problem, it's retracting. Like you may not be able to completely bend it after. But I was walking around the house the same day, without a limp. It's gonna swell up pretty bad though even with ice. Just be careful when you run. For me it seems like that's the worst thing even after 6 months.

[jqlarson]

this guys a fucking idiot

[zxcvbnmmasdfghjkl]

[Krispity311]

if you rehab fine, you'll be fine. I had mine torn i did extensive muay thai. I'm able to train again 10 weeks after surgery.

[alastair78]

The human body sucks, if a God did create it, he did a crap job and should have spent some more time materials testing.

[stevecsulb10]

@alastair78 lol...that's funny...i have to agree with that at the moment cuz i just injured my knee and i think its a meniscus tear... it fuckin sucks

[MSPBAMBAM]

Shit i tore my medial and lateral meniscus. there was a slight tear in the medial and a complete tear in my lateral. I'm out for 6 months!

[wengler308]

ya same here i just got an mri back and said i have a meniscus tear and i did it a year and a half ago...every doctor just said therapy and you can still play...

[sithlord06]

[albertao12]

[aucsoccer8]

Appreciated i go for surgery in 4 days, but i didnt know my repair would take that long to recover

[Bfolks84]

how did ur surgery go? I'm getting surgery on Monday..are u betteR? how did u heal?

[aucsoccer8]

My surgery went fine, sorry it took so long to reply. I play club and highschool soccer and its been 9 months. Im fully functional, it does get sore and theres still some scar tissue, but do your rehab diligently and you should be fine. Stationary bike was a big help for me

[nevmiles]

I would also like to know . . . I will be getting my left medial meniscus repaired in a bout a month

[aucsoccer8]

Surgery is fine. Patience afterwards is big. It is absolutely imparative that you do your rehab, and then some

[BayBayVal]

hey its been 3 months since i did my right knee miniscus surgery, and im going to the gym 4 times a week my leg seems to get stronger it does gets sore, but i think i'll be in full speed in 7 months total when my doctor told me it was a year recovery..

[budainga]

I go in Thursday for my operation. this video was very helpful

[budiman9780]

how many month lateral meniscus repair can be batter after surgery

[punkdude1668]

i had an MRI done and the diagnosis said i had torn my meniscus and so i didn't get to finsih my cross country season and the specialist iwent to see wasa total rude douche bag and said he wasn't convinced it was torn and sent me to physical theropy and now the pain is worse and P.T. was abour 4 months ago and my doctor is sending me to see another specialist to see if i'll get surgery and i now can't run track -__- so i'm pretty much doone with the track season yay -__-'
