I'm an old fart with a young man's injury according to Dr. Franklin, that gives me some comfort. Seriously, I'm 62 and suffered a oblique undersurface tear of my posterior horn medial meniscus. Your explanation has helped me understand how this happened and what at least some of my options are. Thanks for the video.

thanks for concise information without blabber.

Thank You! One of the best on-line overviews on this I've found.

Excellent!

Going on 7 years of in and off knee pain after being struck by a schedule 80 piece of conduit. Been hurting for almost a month and finally got my MRI. Awaiting results.

i've watched a lot of knee videos and feel i must comment that this one is the most well explained regarding meniscus repair...thanks so much for making it

Thank you for describing to me my challenges. I have an improved understanding. Cape Town 🙏 🤲

“40,50,60 years of age” 16 yo me watching : 👁👄👁

Excellent video; very well narrated. Great animation.

Heads up! I began experiencing medial knee pain that most likely was the result of a overuse or a degenerative meniscus condition. I'm a runner and decided to have it checked out in case it was something serious, but my knee x ray was normal. The orthopedist did some tests, suggested an MRI and immediately recommended surgery if there was any indication of a meniscus tear. My bullshit alarm went off right away which prompted me to go with a rigorous physical therapy approach instead, and I'm glad I did. I'm back to normal as the result of conditioning stability muscles that were neglected. Avoid surgery for degenerative knee conditions if at all possible and commission a reputable physical therapist, but you have to be committed and do the rehab routines everyday! Motor on through the pain and it will pay off.

Thanks for the clear explanation.

Well explained i really appreciate the depth of your experience and work with this type of problem., I have a meniscus tear that comes with swelling and pain. Walking up and down the stairs is hard to do and painful. I have done physical therapy for a few months and also was prescribed Duxes for the swelling.. So I'm looking for a good knee brace to get ?? And if you have any suggestions for me as well?? Thanks in advance

It is the last solution but a very good one. This video is very interesting.

Thanks doctor

Thanks this helps what I feel on my right knee

Great explanation doc thank you. At 66 i guess i have to quit thinking it will stop hurting on its own. Stubborn old guy here. I usually only go to hospital when i need sewing up

Thanks a lot for the information, but what if i feel like my knee is some time like going to break backward when walking down of stairs

Sir i have grade 3 injury at lateral meniscus it is horizontal t2wi hyper signal tensity in my left leg. What should i do now ?

Thank You! Explains popping sound heaviness going upstairs just want to know things not to do?

Good day, I can't remember how it happened in the soccer field,but I find dilficult to squat , and I feel a passion inside my knee when I try to sqaut

I injured my knee and have what feels like fluid in the surrounding knee area. When the injury happened, I didn’t feel a pop of any sort, so not sure I have this. I did the RICE thing and swelling has gone down significantly but I will be seeing a surgeon next week to get a diagnosis

If been wondering why my knee been sore for months without going to a Dr. This makes sense I now I understand why

Plz tell us about PRP and STEM CELL therapies..

Doctor... i have a horizontal oblique tear on lateral meniscus... is surgery or physiotherapy is needed to fix this

Hey Doc, my knee gets stuck while bent sometimes or in a dynamic position and I’ve even had to go to the hospital to get them to straighten it back out before. I’ve had two arthroscopic surgeries and it’s still gets stuck from time to time. I love mixed martial arts and have competed several times but have stopped since it seems my knee will always give me this problem. Any ideas or solutions?

Hi Dr Brett, I am 36 years old and I live in Australia. I suffer from mild pain in the left knee and occasionally in the right knee as well there is a lot of clicking in my left knee. I don't recall having an injury in the past, however my job demands long walks and standing still for long periods of time. I have had an MRI and I have been told there is nothing wrong in the knees but I still have the pain specially in my left knee. What do you recommend. Thank you in advance.

Thank you doctor 🙏

Do MRIs always show a meniscus tear if you have one?

I have an acute posterior medial meniscus root tear with extrusion. I have no pain or swelling and no mobility or flexibility impairment. I get soft grinding for a few seconds that comes and goes spontaneously. I would like your opinion on how to reduce the soft grinding. Thanks

Thank you my surgery is on the 12🤕

Hi Doctor. I have another problem.After an accident my middle of the shin is feeling numb. Please give me proper guide its been two months ago and its still numb

what about spinal injuries please help?

I changed up my golf swing to focus my weight on the inner part of my feet instead of letting it shift to the outside of the foot… I think this caused so much extra pressure on my medial meniscus bc 4 weeks playing like this and they both hurt

Thank you so much. Its a great learning. I am facing knee pain and I have been told I have mild myxoid degeneration of medial meniscus. Is it curable ? will I be able to go back to my basketball and running days again? Your opinion would be helpful. Thanks

Hello To will be 7 days since I tore my meniscus, for the first And second day I have trouble walking like going up and down steps.. after day 3-4 it was okay to walk with a little bit of discomfort. Now I can do squats but I can’t do legs raise…. Mine is on the inside

Ur clinic is in which place

I injured my meniscus moving furniture while pushing with my knee. Whatever happened in my knee it caused my kneecap to move out of place and I had a lot of swelling..over a year later and I still have swelling. I had my doctor do surgery on it and he said that the cartilage has worn off part of my kneecap. He said all he did in the surgery was irrigate my knee and put cortisone in it. He didn't do anything to my meniscus. This injury happened over a year ago and it is no better than the day it happened. My doctor told me Im looking at a knee replacement in a couple of years. Its frustrating to me that this injury has turned into this situation. I can't help thinking this doctor could have done more. He had me going to physical therapy and doing things I shouldn't have been doing at the time and I feel this led to the cartilage wearing away. My knee stays full of fluid. Hes drained it 3 times.

Thanks dear Dr🙏 sir I have second stage of medial meniscus tear as shown by MRI what I should do further

We re in August 2021 , in March 2021 I hit my knee against one of those metal towing hitch coming out of the front bumper of a Rav 4 It did hurt at first but I thought it's all good I m still standing, 2 days later I had a physical activity planned before going I thought my knee is not 100% but I can still do it, long story short I ended up with a sprained ankle. My doctor later told me there s a possibility that your meniscus is torn until this day I m not walking the same way I used to , its a terrible feeling I hear a pop everytime I bend my knee going to see a physio I might need a surgery though

I made a squat in Dezember, same weight I was using for over a month but on that day my knees rotated inward (collapsing knees)... Since then my knees lock, I have feeling they will give away, I'm in pain when I walk, during the night they give in and get numb, there is a grating sound sometimes, seeing my ortho surgeon because I'm suspecting some meniscus injury...I did physical therapy but it didn't helped me :( I had more pain so we decided to stop. Thanks for this info

I have an auto shop w/my husband and I am the helper 😊 I do the office work, but I also help the guys w/the cars and clean up the place. Unfortunately I also have had a seizure problem for the past 20 yrs. For about 6 months, my left leg has been feeling weak, numb, and tingly but especially when I take a shower. Too hot of water makes it feel like my knee is going to collapse! It also gets swollen! Is that arthritis?

I had scoliosis surgery so an MRI isn’t possible. Can a CT Scan be done? I’ve had 4 knee surgeries (all scoped) many many years ago. Unfortunately my surgeon retired. He was so amazing! I should have quit gymnastics and I wouldn’t have kept injuring myself. I’m kind of stubborn that way. Oops.

I’ve had a meniscus repair in 2014 but I’m still experiencing pain and crepitus in the same knee. I have experienced several falls and my doctor says there’s no problem, although I know it is.

Hello Dr Brett I fell down and hit my right knee at work, according to them it was a meniscus tear and it will heal on its own, they gave medicine for inflammation and pain after that physical therapy I did maybe 4 or 5 sessions but it seems like I didn't had much improvement, I contacted back and explained that I been having pain when I'm on my feet all day, I don't have strength on my knee I have to wear a knee brace to be able to make it throughout my day at work. But they didn't approved any further medical treatment, this was through my job workers comp. I just need some relief with this pain.

I have an sports injury meincus tear garde 3 many Drs give ma a suggestion of surgery but some doctors said that it's can be recovered with the help of physio and I started and working well and now I have a doubt that it's not grade 3 how I can observe this

What does cathcing mean?

This is me..I had MRI...was told I snapped my hamstring .. my kneecap pulled to the right on my right leg..I had some swelling ..no bruising ..but lots of pain..Take Tylenol.or ALEVEand aDVIL. but they bother my stomach... I put ice on it and it took months for my kneecap to pop back into position..it does hurt if I overdo..and mostly when sitting for long periods of time and getting up..at times my knee swells on the outside but the pain is behind and down my calf and on the inside of my knee..at times it pops like the bone is out of place ..and the pain subsides.. I routinely walk 15-20 miles a week maybe more in summer doing yard work (mowing and gardening) .

I'm 26 twisted my knee first time heard a tear then two years later again same thing and heard a tear.. shall I get it checked?

I hurt my knee while playing soccer, last year.. my knee is still unstable, still pops, and I have a quad atrophy… what could b the problem, I already did a scan on the knee, nothing was found… pls reply

Thank you for the ver thorough explanation. Is there a SportsMed or physical therapy affiliate in New Jersey you would recommend?

Hello Dr, I am 30yrs old and having grade 3 posterior horn of medial meniscus tear on my MRI, will it be fixed without surgery? I don't have any pain but when I bend my leg full while sitting then it gets locked.

What causes the popping sound😊.

My girlfriend builds up scare tissue rather quickly, is there a way to heal from a tear without surgery? The last surgery she got her knee froze up and won’t go past a 90° angle even with physical therapy daily.

Acute tears can happen with older adults that are active. The medical world seems to think only young people matter when surgery is needed for this.

Good info I'm 66 healthy but in last 5 months both my knees are in excruciating pain when I stand up or stoop down , so painful takes my breath away , I am the only caregiver for my wife fighting breast cancer ,I have way too much to do . But am slowly succumbing to the pain . Can you fix both at same time far as weight bearing ability

Let's say the MCL is torn & you're managing it with braces, biofreeze, massaging etc. Will it get worse over time or will you just have that discomfort?

Sir I am Waheed from Pakistan and also suffering from this issue so please suggest me any precautions without surgery

What does he mean 'catching'?

I love how every sport related injury has Jimmy Butler in it😂
