Torn Miniscus Physical Therapy
(2 discussions)
I tore my miniscus when I was a senior in high school.
It has been four years now and my knee will hurt sometimes and it is very weak.
I can’t even run for very long because it causes a dull pain in my knee.
I was wondering if you had any exercises that I could do to strengthen my knee.
Will it ever be the same or at least close?
Will I ever be able to run and jump normally again?

Can physical therapy prevent the need for an arthroscopy for a torn meniscus?

I recently was diagnosed via MRI with a torn miniscus. I have an appointment with the Dr. in a month. I’m 74, usually go to gym for aerobic and light weigts 5 times a week and take a few yogo classes. I would like to know what kinds of exercises/activities to avoid and what exercises are good to maintain my conditioning and strengthen the knee.
