Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 hi, i am feeling a bit silly about asking about this one, but here is goes. (I must know) about 3 years ago, i had my meniscus operated on. the doc who was going to cut it out, noticed that it was torn on the bloodline and decided to go for it and stappled it back together. he told me i was a lucky guy. so i'm all happy and recovery was long but it worked fine. this summer i ripped it again,( i think) same feeling, same pain, same locking up of the knee. i know how to UN lock it, but that doesn't feel too good and i hate the thought of doing this over and over............i haven't been diagnosed what the real dammage is, but it feels the same as before, but this time i van still use it and run walk with it. it just feels lose in the knee joint, when i make a certain move or when i wiggle it. you migh say, well, don't wiggle it, but i'm a wiggly kinda guy (O; (joke)anyhoo, i heard and read that this meniscus tissue is not living... it can not repair itself. being on these groups, i noticed that a lot of things can heal itself! so my question is, can it? and then, how? i'm massaging it with deep tissue repair oil at the moment, while i'm treating my sore back. any information would be appreciated, thanks, rik PS: for now i keep an eye on my knee and do not over use it. i can do just about anything with it, just not bend it to far. i guess easy does it.
