Torn meniscus

[símiley_despite_all]

Last year, I sustained a knee injury, or a meniscus tear to be more precise.

I tried to care for my knee as soon as possible, but I could only start a treatment about four months later.

And now, even four months since the beginning of the treatment, my knee hasn't healed yet.

I know it because the area is still a bit sensitive, and I can't walk with too much impact.

Besides of that, I can at times feel something on the left of the knee (apparently, the synovial membrane) 'vibrating', which seems to be a sign of inflammation.

I would like to know if other people who have unstable knees also feel this 'vibration' (as formerly described), and while at this, I'm also interested in knowing what other symptoms do people with a 'joint condition' experience, so that I am aware if or when the degeneration in my knees is progressing.

Regards to all.

Have you had a scan? Meniscus tears may or may not heal depending on type, size, location, cause, whether tissue is caught in the joint

Common issues of degeneration, or arthritis can be pain, aching, swelling, stiffness, crunching, change in the shape or alignment of the knee, locking, giving way, loss of range of motion, weakness

There are good meniscus and arthritis primers in the learning portfolio, as well as other resources and articles
