Had a complex tear in high school. I couldn't move laterally as well but was back on the field in two weeks. You can play on it but you won't be at a 100%.

Recently tore mine. It was less than a month before I could walk after the surgery.

As far as knee injuries are concerned they are weak. Like you might as well have a hang nail.
I've torn the medial in both knees multiple times, once "flipped" which means it is torn and a piece of it is getting stuck in the joint. I fought in the UFC 2 weeks later
Tore my other one as well as tearing the MCL, PCL, and patellar in the first round of a fight once and won a decision.
Maybe it is just a life of wrestling and grappling but I see torn meniscii several times a year from training partners. I never see them out for more than a couple weeks even with surgery

Look up Regenex. Then call Dr Tommy Bond in Laf before u let someone trim off your meniscus.

I had a tear in both knees of the lateral meniscus. Mine were not repairable as they weren't in the area with good blood flow. First one was In early October and I ran a 5k end of November.
Second was in December of same year and ran/walked a half marathon mid March of the following year.
For the left knee I had it on a Friday and went to work on Wednesday but could have gone sooner. Right knee was a week or so as I had to be able to drive.
Had it done in Lafayette with Dr Perry. No issues and pain was not bad at all. Had to start a home exercise program 48 hours after per his instructions.

Had surgery a couple months ago. Doc said I would be back to normal in a few weeks but it hurts worse than before surgery.

Call Dr Bond in Laffy. Stem cell repair NO surgery. Look up Regenexx!
Remember when stars like Kobe would fly to Europe...this is that procedure

Be thankful the ACL didn't tear

Anyboday ever done this and what kind of time-table can I expect before I can run and workout again.
Plenty have done this but your mileage will vary ... a lot.
I did it but got lucky, sat out 3 weeks and play actively ten years later with no problem. But I know more than a few who have had multiple knee surgeries.

I have some torn cartilage in the same knee I had a meniscus tear and surgery on 4 1/2 years ago so I checked out Regenex. It looks promising, no guarantee though, and really expensive. I know of no insurance that covers it. It will cost 7-12k out the chute depending on what is done.
When I had my meniscus repaired I was off crutches in 5 days. My knee was swollen for several weeks and should have been down in a few days. Found out later that the doc did PRP (platelet-rich plasma) on me which caused the extended swelling. Not sure if it helped but my knee was much better until two months ago when I hurt it again. Looks like another scope for me. BTW, a friend had a meniscus repair and he was up and at them in less than a week and full recovery, per him, in less than two months. In any case, good luck.

I rip both. On my right, it was scoped and was back on my feet in 10 days. Left side, I just worked it out and it took about three months till the pain when away. That was about 7 years ago and I was told that I would need knee replacement within 5 years.
And yes, now both knees are giving me trouble/pain if a bend down a lot. It's to the point if I bend down, I just have to get on my knees.

Repair or cleaned out/clipped? No way a true repair and being off of crutches in 5 days.

Doctor told me to come back in 3 weeks and to see if its healing or if I need a cortizone shot or possibly a scope
Hope a cortisone shot works for you ... didn't do a thing for me and except hurt like a mother when he did it. Unless the tear is in the zone where good blood flow is, it won't repair/heal itself. That's per Dr. Adam Perry in Lafayette and the other 2 docs I got opinions from. I waited for 18 months to get it done and continued to run (they said I could but it would likely hurt and get worse) ... it hurt some kind of awful. WHen I couldn't stand it anymore I got it cleaned out.
Good luck!

Tore my Meniscus
Mine is "all crunched up" according to my doctor. Start physical therapy tomorrow. Hoping to avoid surgery also. She shot me up with a steroid last week. I go back March 1 for a follow-up
Good luck!!

Captain Ahab had the same injury.

My bad, repaired is the wrong word. It was a bucket tear and he just cleaned it up by clipping away the torn piece. You are right, repairing it I would have been on crutches for a while for it to heal.

The cost is down to about 5k now and you walk out. The difference is no surgery and you still have your body. Once the start snipping pieces of your meniscus, it will never be the same later in life.
The stats now for knees is about 85% positive results 3 yrs out from the procedure.
As data mounts on the long term damage of the steroid shots into a joint, the regenex procedure is a better first option IMO when you add up all the costs.
I was SCHEDULED to have a hip replacement, but I had full range of motion....I now am pain free and have my joint!
