But that’s not the only reason. It’s also very common to experience a torn meniscus from natural wear and tear as we age. Degenerative changes in the knee can be the culprit of a torn meniscus.
What exactly is the meniscus?
It’s best described as a C-shaped piece of tough, rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. There is a medial meniscus that sits on the inside of the knee and a lateral meniscus that sits on the outside of the knee.
Problem with the meniscus is, as we age, the cartilage wears down and weakens, causing arthritis. This thinner cartilage is more prone to tears.
And when it tears, it doesn’t feel good! When you get a tear in the meniscus you may feel like your knee is giving out — because you have lost some of the support structure. You may also feel like you can’t move it properly, or you feel persistent pain. Meniscus pain is different for each person, but you may experience:
Basically, there are two options your pain management specialist will give you if it appears you have a meniscus tear. Either it’s a minor tear that can heal, or you will require surgery to either repair or remove the meniscus.
However, it’s important to understand that a meniscus tear does not always require surgery. The meniscus tear without surgery recovery time is about six to eight weeks with proper home care and even some physical therapy. Small tears can often heal on their own. Your physician may recommend using NSAIDs and the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression, and elevation).
The important thing is to ensure the meniscus tear heals properly to renew stability to your knee and reduce the risk of further injuries. You know it’s healing when the swelling and pain subside, and you gain strength.
