Have Torn Medial Meniscus In Leg, Knee Hurts, Gaining Weight. Done X-ray. Any Exercise?
I have a torn medial meniscus in my left leg..........and the right knee just plain hurts (xrays showed nothing; never had an MRI in that knee though). What exercises are safe for me to do without making my knees worse? I'm getting flabby and gaining weight because I'm afraid I'll burn out my knees. I'll have the meniscus fixed, but next year.
Thanks,
Isabel
