Subject: Meniscus Tear Yes I have been to an Orthopedic Surgeon...
I tore my meniscus a couple of years ago and was told at the time that I can continue to train and do my daily activities until the pain doesn't work for me anymore. Interestingly, I can run and bike and swim without pain. I do think that my gait has changed as I won't extend my left leg (sheltering the meniscus from pinching ). My left shoes wear out sooner than the right.
Specifically sore after hard bike efforts, but never during.
Who has dealt with this, who has had it cleaned up? I am not one for surgery; however, I don't want to wear the brace all the time either.
