How can you tell the difference from a Meniscus tear and a medial collateral ligament strain or pull

[merchantsmithimages]

It sucks!!! Mine was torn for years and I didn't know it until I saw a Doctor.

I have a Grade 4 tear and I opted not to have surgery and use rehab instead but now I am sick of the swelling so I am rethinking it. PT is surprised I have full ROM with a Grade 4.

Tore mine and still in recovery. Its been almost 2 years. Had Euflexxa injections that helped the first time not so much the second.

[SnakeLadyNicole]

It hurt me to watch them do the tests.

[derek_underwood]

What if I'm scared to do the tests? Afraid my knee will buckle and then be in worse shape

[felipeperales]

I tried the first test and my knee popped really loud and gave me sharp pain I’m planing on going to the ER tmr maybe they can give me an mri

[BrittanyLonardo]

I appreciate the video I knew I tore my knee when it happened I took a week of rehabbing it taking it easy ya know the usual the swelling and grinding just didn't ease up at all just seemed to get worse and worse ran across your video did the testings I have an orthopedic urgent care near me went to see them they then confirmed it was torn before and try to heal and I guess just completely tore this time just couldn't take it no more so I will be have a surgery to repair....so again thank you for the video and tests bc I really was trying to keep.putting.off going to the urgent care simple bc I didn't wanna take.work off and the copays and bills really(if it turned out not to be something serious) so I'll get it fixed and heal and do my PT and hope for the best outcome ❤❤

My co teacher tore hers last week. My knees are beyond help.

[greenleavesofsummer]

My joints had terrible stiffness prior to same year as meniscus tear 1st year of menopause. I never had problems like this before. I believe continued dropping of estrogen or maybe all hormones led me to the tear. Couldn’t walk on my own. Surgery relieved pain somewhat for about 6 years. Never felt that good. Then I was told I need knee replacement. Instead, I had stem cell and 1/2 doz PRP treatments until I was painfree! Knee straightened up; no or very little inflamation. What have u heard about this? I go in for booster PRP every several years. Included in all this was treatments at PT where I learned exercises to strengthen knee and leg muscles. Very helpful I continue today.
I can’t understand why insurance doesn’t help w at least 50% of PRP’s.

Is there any kind of supplementation I should take to help aid quicker recovery of a moderate meniscus tear? My knee hasn't given out yet but it keeps coming close and hurts so bad! Exercise doesn't seem to help so I don't know if physical therapy will do much for it! It's very weak! I was thinking of trying to walk with a rollator again! It helped me to be able to walk easier for a while again!! Great video, I love you guys btw!! 👍😇

[Jftt]

I have popping sounds and cracking but no pain and the swelling is decreasing quickly but absolutely no pain

[R.K.]

I think I have this and it's so hard to rest my knee because I live in a split level house full of stairs. 😣
