Suggest Treatment For Torn Meniscus In The Knee
in November 2013i had my meniscus scaped in my left knee. On December 23 2014 I had a hard fall in my home and landed face down .. didn t catch myself and my knees took a hard blow. Now the outside of my left knee is numb to the touch. I have some pain when I try to kneel .. almost like before the sugery but not as bad.... the numbness concerns me and I hope I do not have to have surgery again.

Dear patient
It seems you have got significant trauma to left knee. Since meniscus was torn before there are high chance of recurrence. MRI of left knee is required again to confirm diagnosis. If it shows torn meniscus then you need to consult your operative surgeon again and get yourself examined and opined. Meanwhile wear knee cap and take tab diclofenac 50mg twice a day for pain relief.
