This question keeps many people up at night…sometimes searching for answers on KZfaq ;-)
There’s nothing good that comes from leaving a meniscus tear untreated. BUT that doesn’t mean that treatment has to be surgery.
Fixing the root problem can help keep you from years of knee problems and possibly even an unnecessary surgery.
In this video, Dr. David explains the top 8 worst problems that might happen if a meniscus tear is ignored.

Your channel has educated me more than any professional out there. Im 69 and recently had a meniscectomy. Now Im in more pain than i was before the surgery. I am hopeful that your suggestions for exercises will be a game changer. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing all this amazing information. Wish I had found you years ago. I am a 79-year-old female with multiple tears of a lateral meniscus long ago in one knee and now of course moderate osteoarthritis of that knee and slight knee valgus. I rather wear a brace in the future than get a knee replacement! I can still hike on rolling terrain 4-5 miles, can manage some steeper uphillls and of course, have difficulty with downhill terrain and going down steps but manage it. Now what?? Many thanks!

I forgot to mention that my glutes are strong and as per your suggestion have begun to use them more with some ext. rotation when I walk or go downhill. Thank you for that suggestion.

I have ameniscus tear, a bakers cyst and osteoarthritis,, learned about it 5 mos ago after a stairs fall, i had MRI to determine the cause of the severe knee pain, That specialist doctor that we went through didnt even bother to explain everything that is happening in my knee, he just mentioned arthritis, asked what possibly we can do to reverse it,, sadly to know its irreversible,,couple of mos after, i wonder why my knee doesnt feel normal as before, pain from arthritis is different from the pain im currently feeling in my bad knee, i started watching vlogs regarding knee pain, then i came accross meniscus tear, then i started to wonder n observe what is really am feeling,, i decided to went through my MrI result, and i saw meniscus tear bakers cyst n osteoarthritis ,, i was in disbelief,, ididnt relaized , im having all these,, i developed hate in that doctor for nit telling me the exact result of my diagnosis,, since then, i was aware n started doing the exercises for the meniscus tear n the bakers cyst, up to this days,, im still feeling the pain but i never discontinue exercising,, now 62 and slightly obese,, this is not an easy task but i have to address the issue ,, im doing whats right for my health and the battle just Started, thank you so much🙏

I’m your poster child for NOT waiting to deal with knee pain. I’m 67 and an active hiker and was an active biker. In the summer of 2020 I got hit by a wave bodyboarding that hyperextended my left knee. I took a break and did what I thought was Rehabbing my knee. I started biking and then went to mountain biking. My knee felt great. Last summer I quit, and my knees got progressively worse. Fast forward to last month when after two average hikes my knee ballooned to triple the size. After a week of enduring pain, and no reduction of swelling, I reluctantly went to the doctor. Why I was reluctant is a longer story. What I found out after an MRI was that I had multiple tears, including meniscus, tears and osteoarthritis in some areas stage four. This was heartbreaking news because my passion is hiking. It’s also difficult for me to hear because at age 18 I was a passenger on a motorcycle that was broadsided, and my left ankle was the target. Besides a 2 inch leg difference, I suffered for years because of this injury. In the last 10 years, I overcame pain and discomfort and lead a very active mostly pain-free life. I’ve now compromised myself by letting this go. I’m having an ultrasound today to rule out other issues. There’s still fluid from a baker cyst surrounding my entire knee and back of my knee preventing me from bending my knee. I will likely need to have the fluid drained as it’s not going away on its own. 🙏🏻PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ignore pain in your knees or joints! I wish I’d known all of this information. It likely would’ve saved me a lot of pain and suffering and the fear and anguish of future inability to walk without pain. 💜

Thanks for all your advice. Can you comment on the use of rebounders in rehabilitating and protecting the knee joints. I do 15 minutes every mortning on mine and am trying to train myself to emphasise the participation of my glutes in the process. Your comments on this important fitness aid would be really valuable to me and I suspect many others. M any thanks.

Doc, what do you think about using an infra-red heat pack on the knee for temporary pain relief?
