Meniscus info

• Henry Minkoff Wrote: (your comment)

I felt some pain in my knee in January. My ortho doctor ordered an MRI ($2000 paid by insurance - what does one do if you don't have insurance?) and found a small tear. He said I'd need surgery and needed to speak to the surgeon in the office. The surgeon said the tear was minor and I could see how it felt over time before going through with surgery. I play squash twice weekly and had some periods of very sharp pain the first few times I played. Lately, the pain is mild if at all and I haven't experience the sharp pain I felt initially. I can't cross my left leg without feeling it, so I have learned to stop.

http://www.howardluksmd.com/sports-medicine/meniscus-tears-why-surgery-isnt-always-necessary/ has some good common sense info. If my tear gets worse, I think this doctor would be a good one to consult.
