I have had a meniscectomy. I can gurantee, having had it, that you don't want it. Meniscectomy is a "gift" that just keeps on giving ... constant pain, dysfunction, arthritis in the knee, hip and foot, depression, inability to work. The only thing healthy after a meniscectomy is the knee surgeons bank balance
I recently got my meniscus hurt and as a soccer player I was scared, but i feel as i am recovering well on my own and got an visit soon with the doctor. YOur commet did not only make me laugh but I aint doing surgery brother thats for sure. I hope life blessed you man
I got a horizontal meniscus tear, and did a lot of research, this is exactly what I was worried about when doctor offered to cut the meniscus out… i am sorry you experience this:( For anyone who didn’t do the surgery yet, do your research, there is a way to repair meniscus instead of cutting it out, even for horizontal tear. Don’t let your doctor tell you otherwise. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. It will take time to recover (longer then meniscectomy), but you’d save your knee!
I would only recommend surgery when your meniscus is torn in a way that BLOCKS your range of motion in your knee. I’ve had 2 meniscus tears on the same knee, first time tearing it I recovered well on my own, second time tearing it, I had to get surgery because I physically could not straighten my leg. Simple as that, surgery is a good thing when it is truly needed.
@@qawsedrf7678 @kneesovertoesguy has a great program used by thousands of people recovering from knee surgeries, recovering from injuries without surgery, “cartilage breakdown”, “osteoarthritis” and even just regular knee pain. His programs have worked successfully for all of those types of people, people have cured their “osteoarthritis” and “cartilage breakdown” pain from the exercises. Check it out! It’s really amazing stuff.
Thanks for the video. Would you ever have a patient do single leg depth landings from a 30cm box before they are able to fully flex their knee with no pain?
Bro… let me tell y’all.. In 2018 I had a left horizontal meniscus tear ! I couldn’t do things for months! I lost all this weight and gain so much strength that I was practically “Bionic” I was at my best shape.. Now, ffwd too 2023 I’ve gain almost 50pounds , haven’t worked out in 2 years and all my problems came back. Back to this journey again..
thanks so much!!! so well explained gone though the rehab and ex and I'm on the road to recovery, 4 weeks in the different faze work is the best on hear
Hi. I like your video and a lot of your content, but why do you recommend icing? I thought that icing an injurie is a bit "old school" and is proven to be not effective?
Its defo not a big part of the picture and I agree there has been some debate around its use, I think similar to painkillers it can have an effect on pain which in turn can lead to more movement but its defo something I need to do some more research in. I don't think there is a lot of research to say that it is harmful/delays recovery but if you know of any let me know as I would be interested to have a look 👍
@@Physioplusfitness I don’t know much about this, but a friend of mine who is a physio mentioned this. And I’ll also reference Andrew Huberman. In his podcast episode on pain he talks a bit about icing and what it may or may not do, though it seems there needs to be more research on this. Link to the relevant part here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mcPSRWUYCv0.html
Ice definitely helped a lot to manage pain post surgery. Painkillers are good, but you can only take as many per day, and ice was a blessing in in between times.
Age 65 here, female, torn lateral and medial meniscus same knee, 50 pounds overweight (but losing now 10 down first month) and previous spinal stenosis/ herniated disc L4/L5. Do you recommend surgery for me or modified non-surgical approach based on what you outlined here?
Every case is different, I had a bucket handle tear that I did need surgery on, however I have many patients that have a meniscal tear that go on to not need surgery. You may be someone that needs surgery, but maybe rehab would be effective. My advice would be to see a healthcare practitioner so they can assess you and chat you through it 👍
Cmon, i've been training since 1995, thats what fckd my knees and meniscus. And i have enaugh strength in my muscles, but its a bit discomfort when your meniscus is torn, your bones are touching and tell me, how tf should o keep trsining hard when i have so much damage caused by training? Dont get me wrong, i cant imagine life without sport. But its just nonsense to make one legged squat with such condition, its making just more paing and trouble. So its not all as it seems. If its too much damage, there is no help. Operation is a good thing when parts are blocking and making more damage.
