Thanks for the info! You seemed to describe my situation, as I've been collecting as much information as I can on this subject, except in your case you put it out there more clearly.

So calming to listening to. Patients must love you.

Excellent video, giving hope to many who thought they were stuck with knee pain and injury for the rest of their lives. I'm now retired but was formerly an Alexander teacher in private practice in the UK. Sometimes knee pain can be the result of an imbalance in muscular pulls in the legs, with the result that a torque is being applied to one of the knees as the person runs. This can result in a lot of strain in the medial and/or lateral collateral ligaments, which persists regardless of how much massage or treatment the person undergoes. It feels like injury, and indeed, because the knee mechanism is under greater stress may lead to such, but often it ends with the person giving up running - or whichever other physical activity they are engaging in. As this surgeon points out so well, surgery is usually not the answer. In these types of cases, becoming aware (experientially) of how you are over-tightening specific muscle groups in the legs (and sometimes also in the back) will lead to the person gradually letting go of those unnecessary muscular pulls - thus allowing the correct balance of muscular activity to reassert itself. Then the strain will be alleviated and instead, distributed evenly. In other words, the person learns how he or she is creating the problem .... then learns to let go of the unnecessary muscular pulls ... allowing the balance to reassert itself, and then - PROVIDED the pain was due to strain caused unwittingly by the person (what Alexander teachers calls 'misuse') the pain will disappear, because it was only a symptom of imbalance.

I am a 51 yr old cyclist. I took a slow moving fall very hard on my knee. This injury took place 5 months ago and I am still in some pain. Tender and problems squatting but am able to bike, ski and jog pain free. MRI did not show nothing but a minor tear (Interior) but no pain in that area. My Orthopedic seems to think it's a IT band issue...

This is just about the best damned news I've heard in weeks. Had what I am pretty sure is a tear near the end of June. After a few weeks of cycling only, I started running again. Didn't feel bad while running, but it was sore in the evening and the next day. Then one day there was a spike in pain and I had to mostly walk the 2 miles home. I finally took about two months off doing nothing but cycling again, and I basically forgot about it. I guess I thought at 54, my running days were finally over and I needed to get used to it. Some weeks ago, I noticed that the pain was 100% gone. Not a single symptom. No pain or locking or anything else. (Isn't it funny that we are slow to notice when things stop hurting?) I've been back on the trail twice in the last few days, and I'm taking it slow. So far, so good.

Painful after long walks. My therapist has been closed because of lockdown, but finally open next week, so I'm booked in on Friday. Hopefully she can loosen off and along with a bit of rest and the right exercises get back to normal.

@@omstygomsty thanks for your reply. I've had a bit of a breakthrough since my initial post, but totally accidental. I was out for a hill walk with a friend, walk was going well, until just before the end I slipped on a broken step and went down on my bad knee. The pain was intense for a split second, so I sat down, but after a couple of minutes felt very light headed and passed out. Fortunately my friend caught my head and avoided any further damage. I came round after 30 seconds or so, and after a couple of minutes felt ok to carry on the last few minutes of the walk at a very easy pace. So the next week or so my knee was a bit swollen, but no other problems. However when the swelling went down I found that I was able to bend the knee a lot further than I had been able to for a while, and since then I have gradually, and very carefully worked on improving the range and strength of around the knee. No real bother on long walks, hill climbs except occasionally a bit of tightness, but nothing too bad. A couple of weeks ago I rescued an eighteen month old pointer dog, who seems very keen to run, so I'll see how it goes getting back into doing a bit of running with the dog. I wouldn't recommend this as a cure, but sometimes strange things happen!

Especially interesting, thanks

Thank you. I often feared that I might not be able to run at all after the tear. But with some exercise treatment I am able to continue running without pain. Many of my peers (65+) stopped all together because of knees problem. I tend to think it was just an excuse to not exercise. 😜

I had the Johnson vaccine and got a dangerous adverse reaction. My legs were constricting with my knees bent and locking at the knee straight out. Each for hours at a time. I'm the percent of Americans that don't matter, no health care or got the healthcare and can't afford a copay or the time off to treat and heal, feeling so helpless. At 23 aN ortho doctor said i had arthritis but then didn't want to treat it . I've already had problems. But The pain even after my reactions stopped didn't stop at my joints. Where I live we need to go up and down hills and staircases to do anything. I didn't do anything that forced this tear, but woke up with it basically. This is a very motivational video. Thank you

Thank you, Doctor!!! This is really what I was hoping to hear.

Although I used to be a runner (many marathons, including Boston), I tore my medial meniscus, while lifting weights. I was 42 at the time, and after two months of pain that would not go away, I chose a partial meniscectomy. 30% was removed, which exposed underlying moderate arthritis. Even if running had been acceptable after this, the discomfort of running without the support cushion of that portion of the meniscus, was too unpleasant and awkward. I am able to run "bleachers" and stairs, but not on flat terrain. I also noticed over time a bony growth from my femur which I suppose was a response to the surgery. I will quickly add that just because you have a meniscus tear, it doesn't mean it won't heal on its own, but it's very different to say you can return to "activities" than it does to say back to RUNNING.

I'm 42 and in good shape. I train boxing and Muay Thai 4x per week and then a regular gym session the other 1 or 2 days. 5'9" and 190lbs...14.5% body fat. For two years yy bursa sack in my right knee fills up with fluid when I squat or sit for extended periods. I thought it was a cramp. Ortho felt an MRI was in order as the Bursa Sack filling up is a sign that it's protecting me from something. Turns out I have a torn meniscus and what not. I'm nearly certain that this surgeon is going to want to operate. It's not going to happen. I'm not going to do it. I have a PT because I just had surgery for my pec tendon and he too said many people live happy active lives on a torn meniscus. So, thanks for a great video!

I’ve been running with a torn miniscus for 10 years. It gets sore on longer runs 5+ miles, but I still do them (full trail marathon 4 years ago). I have found that weight lifting, particularly weighted squats, has really helped strengthen my knee and ease the pain. I’ve also found that elliptical workouts between running days helps too.

A little while ago I wrote a comment under another video, on the same topic. Where I write that I got hope that I won't have to have surgery, it refers to this video of yours. Thank you for that, thank you very much... (I had a problem with the meniscus, but for two months I didn't know what it was about, I thought it was the ligaments, but since the problem didn't go away, I went for an MRI, where it turned out that the meniscus was slightly torn on the rear horn. I didn't go to a specialist , I saw on YT that an orthopedist from NY said that it was not necessary to go to surgery, which encouraged me. Little by little, it passed, with the fact that I walked for 10 minutes at first, then more and more, so I needed about 6 months to be able to walk for 60 minutes. Today I don't have a major problem with that, but I can't squat all the way, nor can I stand for several hours, but I'm satisfied with this too, I avoided surgery. I'm 53 years old. That's my experience. First of all, patience is needed. A few kilos less would help.Do not overload the knee. "Listen" to the sick knee, it "says" itself, unmistakably, when it should no longer be stressed, but to rest. Comfrey ointment, but more psychological. Eating cooked cartilage, calf's tail, for example, maybe it helps, cartilage it restores the cartilage (perhaps, you have to believe, it can't do damage). Comfortable shoes for the foot, insoles, this is a must, hard shoes in no case. Meditation, lying quietly in bed on your back, head on a pillow that is neither too high nor too low, and so on breathe calmly, for 20 minutes or more, the organism has intelligence, it heals itself as much as it can. If it then feels as if something in the knee is "working" in some way, that's it. Maybe avoid sugar, they say it creates inflammation in the body. I didn't know that).An exercise bike is also not a bad option, it's a good exercise, and there's less pressure on the knee. pass without surgery. When I remember now, that I used to leave the apartment for 10 minutes, and so for days, slowly, as if I were walking on eggs... Now I walk every other day for 60 minutes, I can bring 5-6 kg from the store, i.e. walk with it for 10-15 minutes... There are also exercises, they are on YT, but I haven't done them... Good luck!)

excelent, thank u very much doc. may the god save you. regards.

I got a meniscus tear in my left knee from twisting/playing golf. I first got various injections for the tear pain and wore a brace playing golf. But I also had bone on bone, so I got a knee replacement and because I got tired of wearing a brace all the time. Everything is back to normal everyday activities and playing allot of golf.

33, have had pain consistently for over one year. In physical therapy now, ortho did not think mri was necessary based on X-ray results... Not seeing much difference and a trip down stairs while carrying even a light package has me swollen back to square one for days. Suffering from depression since exercise was my hobby. Where do I go from here? Push ortho further? I don’t want surgery but I make progress and then the littlest thing brings me back to where I started and these occurrences are devastating each time. :(

Hello Doc, I am a 48 year old man who is athletic and in good health. No history of knee issues aside from some patellar tendentious from tennis. About 9 weeks ago I was surfing and injured my right knee after jumping off the board and coming down hard on her right foot in shallow water. I just had an MRI and the results state: “Complex tear posterior horn and body medial meniscus. Meniscus fragment displaced vertically adjacent to posterior horn root. Small meniscus fragment displaced vertically within the anteromedial gutter“. I have never had sever pain but 9 weeks out I’m still limping and get some internal swelling. The doc thinks I should have surgery because these fragmented pieces that are displaced. Thanks in advance!

Great video. This has helped me to relax about my mensicus tear rather than panic. In the UK I have to wait 3 months to see an orthopedic consultant on the NHS, but it's free, so might as well wait and give it time to sort itself out. I was running on the tear with no issues, only realised I had a problem when I was standing with the knee locked which caused some irritation in the joint - physio diagnosed the tear. For now, I will behave and not run for a few weeks and focus on some strength training without overloading the knee and go from there 💪💪. My aim will be a hill race in Scotland in September: Two Breweries 18 miles, 1500m ascent.

Hello Dr.Howard, I am 34 yrs old female and when I recently started running ( only for 2 months , 2-5k / twice a week or so and other days lunges squats sets), after the initial 2-3 months , I started getting some discomfort in my right knee. Wasn’t that bad when it started but it aggravated 3-4 months down the line to the extend that I could not walk comfortably. The pain at worst is 5/10. 2 MRIs show ‘ linear myxoid intrasubstance degeneration of post horn and body of medial meniscus without overt tear ’ plus grade 2 control lesion at anteromedial femoral condyle with grade 1 changes elsewhere. I have been doing some quad strengthening exercises but situation is a mix of some better days and some bad days. Can’t walk more than 10-15 min at a stretch and lately my left knee has started giving similar symptoms although less problematic. ROM is almost 80%in right knee and almost 100% In left. Been to 3 ortho specialists and the verdict is wait it out. Appreciate your advice on how best to manage this. Right now, getting to my morning brisk walk comfortably is a dream, forget running!!

@@georgepoitras4154 Ah, two months here as well. I do stretching, some strenghtening and a lot of rest. Brisk walking every day, not far just to gain traction and get the motions back. I also do healing, half the job in my opinion is keeping your head and never give up. This is one of the worst injuries I've had mental wise, the reward of getting well again is enormous. My goal is to run by february.

Hi Sir I had Non displaced Horizontal tear in the Body and posterior horn of the Medial meniscus(red-white zone). as per my MRI. I don't have super pain in my Knee but I feel discomfort while taking stairs and quick walking some kind of pinning sensation I observed near my Knee rt part. Do I require surgery ? or suggest me some other ways to heal my own

Thank you doc and will follow what you said!

🟢 Hello Doctor, I have undergone ACL ligament surgery and had a complex median meniscus tear from which a piece was removed. Can I continue to play sports, and can I run? Thank you!

Dr. ...quick question ....54yrs old with a medial meniscus tear considering stem cells treatment....what you think?

Greetings from Greece. I suffer the last 10 days from this. Your video was very useful.

thank you.. and good luck with your recovery

In this day and age of modern medicine and with all the research around stem cells it seems incredible that it's still not possible to regenerate a meniscal tear in the white zone.

I'm 23... I had an ACL grade 2 tear ... Would I require a surgery?! After surgery can I run?!

My knee is locking up in extention position... would working out make it worse?

Update to my post from 4 years ago: Knee is fine. Barefoot running 3-5 times per week, doing p90x2, zero issues. Many thanks, doc. 👍

Surgery when I was in college due to acute injury. Diagnosed as degenerative by an OS much later in my 40s.@@superkingp15

I have meniscus tear 3 grade. My surgeaon suggested me surgery. Initially I took physiotherapy. Now I am medicine from july 22 till now. I do exercises too. Please give solution on surgery? Thanks for video.

5 years ago MRI with showing meniscus tear left knee. No surgery although i was not able to walk decently for weeks...but it cured. I run again after 3 months...but when i do intense runs (20 minutes on 5km) I get really pain after the run and need to rest for weeks. Now i have pain in my right knee...it feels like a meniscus tear although not proven yet. My left knee...no problem (for the moment).

Tonight the right one is stinging like hell. Hopefully some R&R will settle it down. Thank you.

Excellent advice. But please stand closer to the camera so I can see you properly.

Hi I am Egyptian 34 years I used to exercise daily to lose weight and on the day I kicked the ball nervously and I felt a little pain and a week later I felt the pain in the knee I make MRI the report said small transverse tear posterior horn medial meniscus I visited more than one doctor, some said it tear and other said it degeneration!!! Can you help me to send the MRI for you by email or other way

I am 16 I tore my meniscus 1tear ago playing volleyball. I got a mri recently and the doctor said I needed surgery . I’m currently playing softball and it swells alittle after workouts and there’s alittle irritation but it doesn’t affect my running or anything else. My thing is my right knee also hurts and pops I come to the conclusion that I may have the same problem in my right knee also I’m 16 and don’t want to have future problems from having surgery especially sense I plan on being a athlete in college . Should I get the surgery ? Or continue home therapy and if it worsens get the surgery.

TheThibeaux Tv Hi. I believe that a meniscus tear does not require surgery and physiotherapy should do the trick. If your doctor said that surgery is necessary, you should ask him to explain why, for instance if the tear is large and it has to be corrected; cutting away the meniscus partially. I did my meniscus surgery back when I was 18, now even after months/years of physiotherapy and walking I still feel it will never reach that same strength as I used to have. Meaning to say that it occasionally would relapse and etc, like even till this day normal squats would make my knee cap hurt or like squatting can only be done so for short periods of time. I reckon you check with your orthopaedic and do the surgery ONLY if your tear is very severe and physiotherapy does not make it feel any better after like 10 weeks. In the long run, surgery is not a 100% full proof remedy and I believe that natural physiotherapy is the better alternative.
