Read Morechronic tear of the medial meniscus
Recently I noticed a cracking noise when I extend my right knee out and at full extension it will pop. I had a MRI done on my right knee which showed a chronic tear of my medial meniscus. My doctor told me that chronic means its been torn for awhile. I am training to do the chicago marathon which is oct. 10. My doctor told me to go ahead with my activities including running as long as there is no pain. I have tightness at times and I do ice my knee after my runs. Am I ok to continue to run? Is surgery needed for the tear?

I have a great deal of pain in both rotor cuffs. Wakes me up several times a night. Very strong pain, when I try to move to get off that side of the shoulder it takes time as it is extremely painfull. I will fall asleep again and wake up an hour or two later with the same problem, and have to switch again. What is doing this? They are painfull during the day also with any use of my arms with picking up anything with much weight to it. Any ideas anyone? Thank you, Mary
