Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Shredded Meniscus In Left Knee And Intense Pain In Back?
I have been diagnosed w/a shredded meniscus in my left knee after experiencing intense pain in the back of my left thigh. Physical therapy helped me a great deal and I continue to do the exercises recommended. My pain has subsided for the most part and my activity level is almost normal. However, I still experience moderate to severe pain in the back of my left thigh that is particularly painful when sitting and when I stand, it is hard to straighten my leg. My doctor keeps telling me this is symptom of arthritis in my knee, but the pain in nowhere near my knee cap. and I think it is from a different source other than my knee.
shredded minicus could be due to an arthritic process. That is due tier sister stress on bone. back pain could possibly be because of spinal nerve compression. A consulation to orthopedician is warranted.
