What is a knee meniscus tear?

i tore acl mcl meniscus and im 12 years old a didnt give me pain much at all but very serious injury but not the most painful and i had an ocd lesion will someone explain to me what that is thanx

thank u very much for video=) (Kaunas Medical Uni=)

The video got curpt when he was talking about treating the problem

Good information video very nicely explained
But was that a right are left knee?

I wish I would of gotten this cause I now have arthritis in my knee now cause I got part of the tear removed

well i feel grinding on my knee. but the doctors told me i didnt tear anything. so i have a brace on and inside the brace is a rubber thing to push down on my knee so the grinding will stop. should i excerise while i have my brace on? because i have no muscle on my thigh legs. and i have to regain that muscle. please reply!

my friend had the meniscal repair where they cut pieces out and he was back at sports in 4 weeks

i have a tear which the doctors identified as a mild one, but it still gives me discomforts and i was wondering if compression would help ie: tightly wrap my knee in a bandage.
would dabbing my knee with a washcloth soaked in hot water work too ???

Your dad is right because as you get older, it can turn to arthritis...

Nice info; thanks! BTW at 3:15 that should be "won't heal on its own". You had "it's own" which is short for it is or it has so that doesn't work there. Hope that helps.
