brynevans said:Go and see either a good physio or your GP, injuries are a very individual thing and you cannot assume that the pain one person felt and how they treated it will be of any use to how your problem should be dealt with. I know you are just looking for some kind of reassurance and that other peoples posts here are well intentioned but are in no way a substitute for a professional assesment. Definitely, thanks Bryn! | |||

brownbear said:You have to be sure you have a meniscal tear to know what the best treatment option is. There is no real effective medical treatment for a meniscal tear. If it's a large tear, it can be surgically debrided and/or repaired, BUT this is entirely dependant on the size of tear and degree of limitation it causes the patient. Non-surgically, meniscal tears are treated with rest and physio. Yeh, thanks mate, i think rest and physio might be best because its not that debilitating, just annoying and sometime painful! | |||

Dave85 said:I've torn both mine. Best thing I did was a lot of single leg work. If you have keyhole surgery you will probably get muscle wastage and this really helped me. Be really careful squatting before and after the op because you may begin to favour one leg. I carried on trying to squat and ended up with one strong leg and one weak leg with a noticeable difference in the quad - especially the VMO. Cycling before and after is really, really good for it. Thanks mate, i dont think ill need an op, hope, but im gonna go to the docs anyway! after you did yours did it stop locking after a few days? but still carried on being painful right in between the joint? | |||

drew2 said:If it locks up thats a sign of meniscus tear. I tore the medial posterior horn of the meniscus in my right knee running in the woods, of all things, and it swelled up and stayed like that for a nearly a year. Went to the docs but obviously it started with the old "take some brufen and rest it for a few weeks". Eventually got physio done (if its a minor tear the physio is an option but doesnt usually do much)and its a lot better. Didn't really affect deadlift but I didn't squat for a long time. Still can't run so am thinking of having surgery. If I was you I'd get to the docs asap, like I said it took me a year to get NHS treatment. bad times mate, it is a real pain in the arse! it did lock up at first and swelled but it stopped after a few days! I can run and squat without pain, although it does feel sore a few hours after squatting, so maybe its only minor! i reckon ill go to the docs soonish anyway! | |||

| A few weeks ago I injured my knee from lifting a rock out of the garden for my mum, i didnt know i injured at the time but it did notice a fairly loud pop. Im pretty sure its Meniscus! Later on that day i trained and did again the day after, after which my knee started to hurt and locked up. I rested up and after a few day full ROM returned and it felt better. However it still is fairly painful know and again. It mainly hurts if i jump or spring of to sprint. I can squat and deadlift without pain! I know its no replacement for medical opinion, but what are your guys experience with this? the best way to treat it and such? thanks guys! | |||
