What Does a Meniscus Tear Feel Like?
Symptoms of a meniscus tear include:
- Pain in the knee
- Swelling
- A popping sensation during the injury
- Difficulty bending and straightening the leg
- A tendency for your knee to get “stuck” or lock up
Treatment
It depends on the severity of the injury, and you may require one to two treatment approaches.
For minor tears, rest is all you need. You may have:
- Rest from physical activities that strain the knee
- Ice Compression of the injured area to treat swelling
For severe tears, the surgical intervention includes Arthroscopy that either stitches the torn meniscus together (full meniscus repair) or trims away the injured tissue (partial meniscectomy).
