What is a knee meniscus tear?

left knee – i had it two days before.
Hold on. Everything will be good.

I have a meniscus tear in my left knee.. I need to get surgery :/

what causes my knees to pop when i straighten them while i’m sitting or be standing and they start to ache and i bend it and on the way down they pop loudly. people think i’m doing it on purpose. they ache and i bend them to relieve them. they crack or pop so loud it people notice everywhere i’m at. they started been doing it for bout 5 years now i’m 37 and its all the time. even in my sleep i have to bend them to pop and relieve the ache. what doc in the nashville,tn area do i see for this?

Did they take away just part of it or the hole one?

the problem about meniskus is that doctor doesn’t even take your pain in knee seriously, until it gets worser.

Just been told I have a bucket handel meniscus tear. The Docter told me to visit this site to better understand what he was talking about. Found it very interesting thanks

im 13 years old and i skateboard. i think i got a meniscus tear in both knees….. i still want to skate but im not sure what to do…

How do you diagnose this? would an MRI scan diagnose any cartilage damage? I’ve got an MRI scan due soon and I just hope that it discovers what’s wrong my sodding knee.

I got a bucket handle 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.

Does any doctor in San Diego, CA perfor this stem cell knee repair? Does anybody know pls let me know?

We generally see results in approximately the 12 weeks time frame.

How long does it take on average for the stem cells to repair a normal tear?

Very informative video. thanks a lot.
