I went for hiking , and then followed by badminton. Then kena . It lasted for 1 month + already . Consulted speclist, say nothing biggie yet still the same. Abit worried. Anyone experienced this kind of problem before? now i can't run . Normal walk is ok, but if walk too much my knee will feel some pain.

When walking my knee cap will move , not all the time. And when i bend it, i can feel some grinding sound,like crushed sound. geli only.

nothing you can do but rest. might take up to 6 months to heal fully. any exercise you do that strains it further will delay recovery further.

go replace it with an artificial one loh... i heard RM7K per leg...

When u consulted specialist, any MRI scan to confirm it? Knee injury is very common and take long time to recover, u need to rest, ice..etc, google it.
In the mean time, don't do any vigorous sport or run. Speedy recovery.

i tore my meniscus on my right knee last september during badminton. Doctor didnt operate for me because he wanted me to self heal and see. Went through 3 months of physiotherapy, 3 times a week (under strict order from doctor) and rested from sport for around 8 months before i resume my badminton. On glucosamine supplement for a year (under doctor recommandation as well). Oh, I hung up my futsal boots for good. Sometime, with heavy load on my knee, I'll still feel a lil uncomfortable on that side.

before he discharged me from consultation, he told me if I were to injure or tear the same meniscus, i'll be heading to the operation room already.

*P/s: I couldnt squat and sh1t for around 4 months. Had to find sitting type of toilet before sh1tting

TS n u both got meniscus injury fr badminton, u all got proper warm up or not?

Really bad-minton.

I think my problem is overworked. I was very tired from hiking, but still had vigorous badminton match after that.

Playerseeker : how bad was your condition at that time? I think mine not really that serious, its just minor pain on my side. Would u elaborate more on your condition? maybe yours in worse shape at that time.

LOL... I did!!! but when I landed from jumping smash, my foot slipped, then the right knee which suppose to only move forward and bend, went side way, to outer side (I don't know you guys can imagine or not). Heard "crack crack" (2 cracking sounds) and the moment I knew, I was laying on the middle of the badminton court. People from both my court and the court beside stopped playing and rushed to me. Wasn't able to drive, had to call my dad to drive me back.

After that, I couldn't straighten my leg or bend it completely. It has limited degree angle of bending. Went to normal clinic, the doc said minor sprain but my knee area was swallon. After few days, I went to consult orthopedic surgeon and confirm it was meniscus tear, a minor one. Didn't go through MRI, he just lifted up my leg and started to move my knee and when he slightly pushed my knee outwards, i screamed pain. So yea, that was how he diagnosed my condition.

During physio that time, i can see that my ankle area was blue black, then my calf muscle very pain and my ligament suffered minor tear (According to my ortho surgeon).

The physio is something like this. I took it in one of the session.



It's some ultrasound treatment or something. Ice pack, cold pack, vibration sort of thingy.

I went to hospital and do it. RM50 per session. All claimed under company so no sweat...hahaah

Oh ya ! i could go check and claim all under company! dind't thought of it. hm!

Urs definitely more serious.. the moment u slipped, all the weight is on your knee somemore. Mine is ok, i think i go down hill after hiking wrongly, over pressured my knee, after that badminton was ok, then my knee swollen.

Doctor did the same to me, moving my knee, push here push there, till one part where he kind of twisted my whole leg and pull . thats when i can feel A lil, just a lil pain . thats how he identified my meniscus problem. Doesnt look serious at all . Just wondering why it took so long to recover. can't wait to get back to court

Well, according to my physiotherapist, she told me muscle tear takes around 3 months to recover, so ligament tear, a minor one will take longer time. So just rest and don't do anything to further injure your knee. :D

Can u feel sign of recovery after every month? are u able to do everything normally now?

Yea. It sure did. First few months i wasn't able to bend my knee completely, then the angle of bending increased day by day, month by month. My physiotherapist said I had a good recovery. Wasn't able to squat that time but now I'm able to squat, but not for long time. I'm able to do everything normally but then when I twist my knee a lil, I still can feel some pain or discomfort for it. Doc and my physiotherapist advice me to give up badminton. I should but I cut down a lot of badminton, play only once a week.

But one thing bad happens which is during the period of recovery, I tend to use more strength on my left leg. So even when I'm recovered from the injury, I still have this habit. Very aware of it and trying very hard to create a balance between both legs instead of one. I can feel the effect when I'm running (especially HM in SCKLM this year) where my left knee gave way instead of right. Well, I guess is because the physcology effect though.

My advice is take good care of your body parts because once you injure it, you will face a long term effect of it eventhough it recovers.

U r so right man , i'm too relying on my left leg now that even normal movement that wont cause my right leg pain, i'll still use left. :\

I had my left knee operated last May and until now I can still feel pain sometime if I over work my knee. My knee having is having some serious meniscus torn and I went on an operation to remove all the dirt inside the knee, then did the stem cell regeneration and physiotherapy as well....the whole process is torturing and painful... : (

*Gulp*.... u could try to make it less scarier :9

LOL.... You will know what I mean if you really go through what I go through.... : )

going for a surgery next week ,couldn't recover

did you get a second opinion? My hubby too had pretty much the same injury with minor ACL as well. He rested and trained (exercised) his leg close to a year, and only after 3 years we was like 80% fit.

His opinion was that, even after surgery recovery to play sports is not 100%.

all the best to you.

i got 3 opinion d

Hi,

Sorry for bumping old thread

Went to see the ortho consultant, and found out that my meniscus is torn.

Anyone here can recommend, which private specialist should i go? Pantai, Prince Court, or Gleneagles.

& how much it cost?


Thanks in advance.
