How Long Does Irritated Meniscus Normally Take To Recover?
I was diagnosed as having an irritate meniscus in my right knee. in June of 2013,I was up some steps and banged my foot into the step on the way up. I couldn t walk, had multiple times where my leg almost gave way under me. I m finally gaining some stability almost a year later. My question is how long does an irritated meniscus normally take to recover?
As the injury ocured in 2013 and now all fine, i will advice you to undergo physical therapy as it will help you regain the strength in the muscles which supports the knee for locking and unlocking mechanism.
Usually after a week of injury, physical therapy is started, but in your cased it is made delayed, so taking a proper care and undergoing physical therapy will be good to save the knee joint from early degeneration.
