I'm not sure what scoped means. Was it repaired or just looked at?This last spring I had a knee scoped (torn meniscus). It is now July and it still gets really sore after I leisurely for a while. The next day the pain is gone, no swelling but then after a walk the pain is back....Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Not sure what you mean by shorter. Scoped means that they make a very small incision and run in a camera and Dremel (for lack of medical terms) and grind down the Cartlidge that's poking out the side. If you've ever seen two pieces of steel that have been rubbing hard on each other for years without grease the worn steel has to go somewhere so it curls out creating a lip (Spalding) that can get sharp. Or like the end of a punch after a few thousand hits. Knee pain is not fun I know. And no meniscus tears will not heal.scoped means that they went in and removed the tears in the meniscus. So the meniscus shorter.
Both knees have been replaced . Right 20 yrs ago and left 10 years. Had a checkup last year and new X-ray showed very little wear in either knee . Asked about 10 year life span I was told when they were replaced and Dr says attorney tells them to say that to keep them out of court when they don’t last 20I've been thru all the above procedures. Wore a brace for 35 years that allowed me to continue things like snow skiing, league BB.
Finally got to the point my left knee was bone on bone.
Total replacement about 4 years ago. Rehab and just getting over the surgery were much tougher for replacement. Scar is about 9 inches long. Not likely to ski, run, competitive contact sports are essentially over. No brace.
It's now stable and that is a plus. After a day of chasing pheasants, it may be a little sore. Don't think I would try frozen over areas, I would not like to have a bad fall.
I had two tears in my left knees meniscus and got it scoped. That was five years ago, never gets sore and most of the time I dont ever remember which knee it was. I will say I never had pain like I did with those meniscus tearsThis last spring I had a knee scoped (torn meniscus). It is now July and it still gets really sore after I leisurely for a while. The next day the pain is gone, no swelling but then after a walk the pain is back....Any thoughts would be appreciated.
