MRI scan Feb 2006. Based on this scan I have been told: March 2006 - it's torn we can fix it if you want, April 2006 - extensive horizontal tear we cut the bad bit and smooth, July 2006 - extensive complex tear, basically shredded, and most of it will be removed.
Can anyone tell me if an extenisve horizontal tear can be the same thing as a shredded complex tear or am I being given mixed info from different doctors? Or is this different doctors reading the scan differently and coming up with different diagnoses?
Also, I have continued to run - racing pain-free, with only occasional bad days in training. I know the consequences of losing most of my meniscus. Could my shredded meniscus be providing some kind of cushioning where little/no meniscus will probably cause more problems?
After hearing most of it will be removed I want to cancel the op and carry on as I am until things change. However, similar symptoms in my other knee now (probably as it's taking the strain) have confused the issue.
