Case Summary | Possible meniscus tear?
| Condition | Knee Pain |
| Current Status and How Case Started | Well, about a year ago I had torn my meniscus and had surgery on it and had some of it removed. A month after that surgery, I started marching band and only iced during music rehearsals. Later in the year, my knee had tarted to hurt again while doing things. I also did a lot on the wii fit one day and that made my knee hurt a bunch as well. This summer though, I have been swimming a lot and there would be nights I would get home and my knee would ache for more than 30 minutes. I have now started marching band again, and it now hurts very much like it did before. One day it ached almost the whole time that it was so bad I cried. It hurts on the inside of my left knee kinda close to the patella but not quit. So, I am wondering, could this be another meniscus tear? |
