meniscus

A common knee surgery might be unnecessary or even harmful - just like the findings for common back surgeries (corroborated by a number of our community members over the years). "MRI scans often reveal meniscal tears in healthy people with no symptoms." This will sound familiar to anyone who...

Hello everyone, I would like to find a TMS MD, preferably an orthopedist, who would be willing to look at the imaging of the MR of my knee. The imaging found a rupture in the lateral meniscus and a meniscus cyst. I am 99% sure it's TMS as the pain changed as soon as I got the MR and I am the...
