Meniscus :

New here-Worn away medial meniscus - - Posted by Lhilman (Lhilman), 12 January 2005

Hi.  I have been having pain in my knees for quite a few months from working out with my trainer.  She had me doing full lunges, leg extensions, full squats, etc.  I was referred to an OS who did x-rays and an MRI on both knees.  The x-ray showed nothing, but the MRI showed that my medial meniscus has been worn away from overuse.  I'm now beginning PT (my 3rd visit) and new pains are appearing every time.  My question is, has anyone heard of this wearing away, and what can be done about it?

I also have patellar tendonitis, milalignment of my patellas and fluid on my joints.

Thanks-Lhilman

P.S. I'm 37
