I've been dealing with a meniscus tear for about five months. Too bad the bonehead therapist I went to didn't watch this video. He kept having me do squats and then had me work on getting up from a chair using only my legs. After seven weeks of his "therapy", I now have two bad knees instead of one. In my experience, good therapists are about as rare as unicorns.
Sorry to hear that and I hope you find someone who can help very soon!
Lol sorry to hear .. but I was also doing some deep squats- and jogging on beach- now I’m 4 months and not healed .
I went to see a physio before mine had been scanned, few months after the tear who bent my leg and knee in directions a knee should never go, announced it had great flexibility and I left there with the exact pain I had after it tore all over. Had my tear year and a half now and was just told there’s multiple things wrong with your knee and that it’s physio, steroids and then keyhole if those don’t help enough and no guarantee the surgery will change a thing. I’m 27 so really don’t want knee surgery
Ohh so sad.
5 months it should be getting better, maybe you have an injury to the part that doesn't heal.
💖9:15 When meniscus injured, avoid these 9 things - -
1)Twisting the foot.
2) Swimming
3)Moving things with foot
4) Deep squats
5) Locking out your knee
6) sitting on your foot.
7) Running
8) Drive long distances
9) 8:17 Avoid Full Immobilisation. Instead, Do general bending, strengthening exercises.
Thank you for the summary! We should pay you a commission :)
Yes, five years! I live inUK and have just discovered Prolotherapy by Oliver Eaton in Bedford. This is a form of Ozonetherapy which has been known for over a hundred years and used all over the world. P.S it’s not driving but twisting the knee when getting into the car. I learned to do a little jump!
@@HT-PhysioHa Ha Ha..! Writing Summary helps me remember all the imp points. Very good videos! Thanks!
Thank you for the summary. Could you edit the swimming part to include breaststroke? At first, I thought all swimming was banned until I read another summary. Freestyle is OK.
thanks save me 9 minutes and half!
Tore my right meniscus a few months back and I can't do any of those 9 things - I am good. Glad to say the meniscus is getting better and 5 months later I can finally sleep without experiencing pain.
Thanks for your comment -- it’s encouraging...
this is gold thank you
Thanks for the great video. I appreciate your time and work!
Keep it up :)

Dear Mr Harlow - Many thanks for this very useful advice re. 9 do nots - this is incredibly useful and I wish I had had this advice before.
I can 100% vouch for the driving point.
I have had to pull over many times on long drives because the pain was making me light headed and nauseous
I was in the ER waiting to see an orthopaedic doctor, decided to look up info on the meniscus when I came upon your video. I am not sure until I have my MRI but sounds from what I have been told and researched, its good chance this is what I have. Your video has very helpful. Looking forward to watching more.
Thank you for the tips. God, bless you

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks much! This is exactly what I needed. Well explained and good summary.
Glad it was helpful!
Sir, you hit the mark with this video. Explained in detail, was spoken clearly as well as slow enough to be able to understand your words & it was put together just like a puzzle. Thanx for this!!
Q
Thank you so much for this info! I have a much better understanding now of how I ended up with my recent Root tear of my meniscus ( currently awaiting surgery)
I am guilty of most of 9 !
Any suggestions re the ROOT tear would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you very much for this clear & thoughtful advice!
My pleasure!
Thanks for sharing
Shame I've been running kicking and extending with this knee prior to diagnosis
Well said TY
No problem!
Thank you Sir, for the comprehensive treatment of this subject. Please comment on kneeling.
As a potential contributor to an injury and in regards to healing.
Thank you
Thank you .... this is very helpful information that I have not seen in other meniscus injury videos!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for the 9 things to avoid for the meniscus tear. I am 62 and have been using my feet to move heavy things and squatting when gardening.
Thanks man
Thank you so much for the information, very informative video, great job, bless you
Thank you!
Thanks a lot m8, incredibly helpful
No problem!
Thank you very much❤️.It was really informative.I was sceptical about walking normal until I saw the last part of the video -avoiding immobilization.
Great video ❤ super content..will take note and reducing driving ✅👏
Great summary. Many thanks for tis home remedy
My pleasure!
Thanks
Soooo helpful
Thank you!
Great video! Makes sense a lot, I am guilty of some of those 😊 What about lunges, are they good?
thanks!
Thank you for your very relevant information. Cape Town. ❤️
You are very welcome
Great advice . I work on the railways . We walk on ballast beds which move constantly whilst carrying heavy tools and equipment and we work on equipment where placing your feet is difficult and lots of twisting and turning is required……most if not all colleague’s over 50 all have knee issues and many have have operations.
I will recommend you to our company
Many thanks ❤
You're welcome!
Thank you for the clear explanations! How much long do we have to wait to go back to running program again, after a meniscus tear?
Had scope in 2019 on right knee where they trimmed a small section, absolutely no regrets. It is as functional as it ever was, even for deep squatting and running. Had left one done 11 days ago. Just now starting to feel better. My therapy guy has me locking it out to stretch the muscles but it irritates it. So I'm going to stop that nonsense, thanks for putting that in your video. I can tell you through experience you're speaking truth in everything you said. Much appreciated.
So now your knee has no issue, can you stand up from a squat without pain.? I am delaying mine and trying PT.
Makes absolute sense, and I’m guilty of at least 2 or 3 of these things thank you.
Most people are!
Thank very much,very helpful, its been a wk ,had a PRP menicus treatment ..just start my light exercise. God bless you.
How’s the knee after PRP?
Thank you! That was really helpful. There were a couple of the tips I didn’t realise would aggravate my knee so thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks allot
Great video it was a big help!! Because I m not getting the surgery!
Pleased to hear that :)
Thank God for your video! I did everything that your video said not to do. As a man over 50, I kept running, jumping, and heavy lifting that eventually lead to a knee injury, descriptive of a meniscus injury. It's been almost a year and the pain flares up when doing the "wrong things", and I still can't run. Will take your advice from here on out. 😅
No problem! Glad it was helpful!
These were very helpful tips! Straight forward and clear. Still not sure if I should be going up and down stairs and incline/ decline
Am wondering the same
The no squats make total sense because every time I feel good again I'll do a warm up and that's when it feels like it goes. And yes I had a bad habit of sitting on my legs on the sofa, thankfully I've kicked that habit out.
So glad I saw this video. Sitting on my foot on the couch is exactly how my knee pain started. I am still waiting for my orthopedic appointment, but pretty sure I do have a meniscus tear. Thank you for such a great video! I also do move things with my foot, but I will not do that anymore!
I had surgery 10 years ago for a medial tear and was good till I sat for a while on the sofa with my foot tucked under me a few months back... I’ve been in pain ever since. It’s such a comfortable way to sit -- I hate knowing that I can’t do it anymore.
Thank you soooo much. At last I understand why twisting my right foot to the right resulted in the meniscus tear 5yrs ago. I’ve had every diagnosis from torn muscle, trapped nerve, arthritis etc and finally after 3yrs, an ultrasound showed a meniscus tear. I locked my knee out whilst stretching last month and now I know why it was so painful.
have you been suffering for 5 years with it?
Thanks Sir, please make videos of exercises on 3rd grade meniscus tear of knee.
Thank you very much for this information. My physio did not mention any of these. I tried swimming, sadly realised too late that breaststroke was painful. I pointed out to my physio that I found some great information on many channels here and they then tried to ridicule TH-cam as a resource. Clearly, there are some very knowledgable people like yourself here. I look forward to following your channel.
My pleasure, hope it improves for you very soon.
Dear
Thank you for the informative video
Please update, the inside part of the meniscus doesn't have much blood supply
So no matter where we do or do not do
This part of the meniscus will not heal
Right?
(Agreed that the steps given by you is to not make the situation worse)
These are very important points and very few are talking about these.
I recently suffered a locked knee issue.. I have little pain in the lower side of my knee and I am able to walk slowly.
is regular icing advisable?
Hi! Really helpful video, thank you. 7 weeks into physio and sharp front knee pain in both knees has subsided what I think was a meniscus tear after a period of inactivity and then a couple of days of beach walks over dunes. Also felt worse on moving and twisting …My walking speed is so much slower than before the injury is this normal? Also I have a bend in my knees on standing how do I fix this or is it too soon? I am 54 and have been doing knee strengthening excercises suggested by my nhs physio
Thank you so much I learned so many things about my knee tear meniscus you saved me thanks your amazing
My pleasure!
Im doing everything to my Knee is really painful so i decided to have surgery i love your video
Finally some real info ! I was doing everything based on my MCL tear and I was getting worse Fell and twisted leg on stairs Exercises were making me worse Six months in and two more months to MRI to confirm But I am convinced meniscus is also injured
The MCL and meniscus can be injured at the same time, this is quite common. Good luck!
Thank you very useful to know. Driving my automatic I’m ok as I drive a left footed automatic however I need to be careful of how I rest my right leg as it’s that knee I’ve injured x
thx yeah I was actuaklt still driving so that explains it th x
Thank you. I have been running, twisting every time I do a yoga session and now I will only walk and stop the twisting exercise.
Super video! Wish you were nearer! Lateral meniscus tear (possibly bucket handle as can’t extend knee, will not naturally straighten) waiting MRI. Physio told me to take painkillers and ice to prep the knee before pushing it down on the floor to straighten. Also exercises to straighten knee. Has said I can walk and run on it as it won’t damage it we were designed to run/walk. Confused. Knee worse than it was. Now aches all day and extremely painful into shin bone below knee cap when trying to straighten knee as advised. Thank you for your video. I accidentally twist my leg whilst moving in bed. Are compression socks helpful? Thank you
Hi thank you for your helpful video! How about stretching out my quad's? So I've bend my knee all the way back to stretch?
great video!!!!! breast stroking was my first sign of a problem and i have had a few surgeries already from a meniscus tear. i plan on physical therapy now will i be able to swim the breast stroke again one day or should i just swim free style
Great video. My PT and other vids have said to sit on floor, bend knee and rotate foot left 3 secs and right 3 secs. This seems to help me but sounds like twisting. Maybe it’s OK since no weight on leg?
