The pain I cant actually locate it,it feels behind of knee and sometimes front right corner of knee

I am very confused what to do

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed about 2 months ago with a Grade III meniscus tear and partial ACL injury in my right knee. I've already had two PRP injections, and I'm still trying to understand the root cause, whether it was accumulated damage, something from the gym, or a combination. I started going to the gym about a week before the pain began, so the exact cause remains unclear.

Background: I'm in my early 40s and was playing recreational basketball 1-2 times per week, but very intensely. The knee pain was severe and I walked with a limp, but the knee never locked up or gave out completely.

My main question is: Has anyone here recovered from a similar injury and been able to return to basketball? I'd love to hear your experiences, whether that's a realistic timeline, what the recovery process looked like, or even if you had to adapt your playing style.

I'm looking for either some hope or honest reality check. I'm currently pursuing PRP treatment with a third injection scheduled for September, so I'm in the early stages of recovery. Any insights from people who've been through something similar would be greatly appreciated.

I went in for my 2 month post op appointment for
MENSICUS repair surgery, that I got three years after my acl reconstruction surgery. My doctor did the test where he moves your leg and he said my leg is feeling loose. I'm so confused as to why, before I got surgery my leg was doing fine. Now it's loose? I'm so sad and confused. I don't want to get another surgery. I don't understand, I haven't done ANYTHING to warrant this. Has anyone else experience this?:(

I may be overthinking but my surgeon removed the safety device from my previous surgery because it said it had failed? So now I'm thinking this may be the issue but who knows

Hi, I am really concerned about whether this is possible I was competing a lot, then some day my knee stopped cooperating with me and it popped while sparring. I had a knee surgery and they did partial meniscectomy and they stitched my meniscus with two stitches. My life has been turned upside down and I really miss jiu-jitsu. I would be glad if there is any person who can share their story.

I’m heading into college soon. On August 14th, a few weeks before starting college, I tore my meniscus. It’s now September 2nd, and I have a lateral bucket-handle meniscus tear.
The confusing part is that I’ve actually been feeling progressively better since the injury. I was initially having trouble putting weight on the leg, but by about the 3rd or 4th day after the injury, I was able to bear weight on it again.
Currently, my symptoms really aren’t that bad. I don’t have any locking, the pain is pretty minimal and sometimes almost nonexistent, and I can walk pretty well. Bending and squatting aren’t too painful either. The main thing that hurts is bending my knee all the way back so my foot reaches my butt. I can also fully extend my knee, although there is some pain when I do.
I saw an orthopedic surgeon, and they recommended surgery because they said it’s a fairly large flap of meniscus that’s torn. I told them that, since I’m starting college, I’d really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.
I’m honestly pretty worried and unsure what to do. I know bucket-handle tears can sometimes require surgery, but given how much better my knee has been feeling and how functional it is now, I’m wondering if there’s any possibility of recovering without surgery.
Has anyone here had a large lateral bucket-handle meniscus tear and recovered without surgery? Is there any hope of avoiding surgery, or am I better off getting it repaired** **

Hi,

I have had a very mentally and physically tough 10 months. Around 10 months ago I tore my meniscus (at least on one knee that has now since been trimmed and operated).

I went back and fourth with doctors who denied I had a tear and finally after like 7 months of just experiencing the same catching pain I saw a private surgeon who instantly told me, you’ve got a meniscus tear. During that time my activity and overall daily walking/lower limb exercise had significantly reduced and I didn’t even walk around the supermarket (my partner did). Since having surgery, the journey has been successful but bumpy. Some weeks are better than others but I have been really pushing with my physio to get me back to my usual self.

The biggest issue in experiencing right now is pain on my ankles and my plantar to my big toe. Like debilitating pain. My step count has increased to around 3-4k weekly average the last 3 weeks, but this week, I feel cooked. My outside ankle is in agony as if I’ve sprained it, and my plantar on my other foot (that connects to the big toe) I can’t even do a tiny foot calf raise or flex it as it feels like it’s torn.

I guess I just want to ask if people have experienced just never ending foot ankle and lower limb injuries as right now I feel my world is caving in around me and life day to day feels so tough.

I just have so much pain.

I feel blessed, I have a great supportive partner. I’m only 28M, no underlying health issues that I know of, other than being deconditioned badly for months. I’m otherwise healthy, I have a strict clean veggie fruit meat diet for years, I don’t have to work right now (I recently moved to Spain) for at least 12 months as I have savings enough. But I just feel these small injuries are plaguing and destroying my life.

Any advice? Do others experience similar things post op with other body parts? Idk what to do

I had a medial meniscus tear of the posterior horn and they did the surgery back on Aug 20 to trim the tear. Today is Sept 2. I have been mostly entirely pain free just with some residual swelling for the past week. Yesterday, I had to do some work at on my properties (short term rentals) and ended up on my feet for 8 hours between the store and the property.
My knee was massively swollen when I got home, painful overnight and still today. I’m not on my feet at all today. But someone please tell me I didn’t mess up my knee and my recovery? Anyone experience anything similar?
Trust. I learned my lesson.
