Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 My operation was to remove about 2/3 of the lateral meniscus because it was torn so bad it kept pulling on the rest of the meniscus and was crippling. Almost 6 mo after the surgery I went hiking & stepped through unsupported snow -- with that leg, of course. Since then I've had this ache in my medial meniscal area -- no change, and it's not crippling, but if it's torn I don't want it to tear more. Saw my OS yesterday, will get another MRI & we'll see how it looks. I want him to do a LR while he's in there. The photo of the chondromalacia on my kneecap looked pretty extensive to me -- very crabmeaty. He shaved that off, but now it hurts more. Since it doesn't hurt if I wear knee tape, it seems to me it MUST be being pulled laterally and a LR should help. Have to get it done before end of year bec. after that I have to switch med centers & won't be able to have it done by him. Ann Re: 6 weeks post op/ann its strange, i have this rawness, on the medial and lateral sides... but its not aggravated much by motion. im still very inflamed form the scope, we'll see. my friends mom had a scope and scrape and she's fine. so hopefull i will be too (???) its also VERY humid on the east coast now. we're having post hurrricane charley rain etc. didnt you say you also re-tore something? how is that? --- ruby2zdy@... wrote: > My surgery was in January and I STILL have this > rawness feeling on the lateral side. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
